With the countless expatriate artists that have flocked to the EDM capital of Berlin in the last decade, it's actually rare to find a real Berliner among them. But acclaimed DJ/producer Sascha Funke was indeed born and raised in East Berlin when electronic music was a just a faint rumor on the radio waves emanating from the other side of the wall. 

Schooled in the '90s techno scene that proliferated amid Berlin's underground warehouse parties, Funke cut his teeth DJing at various local hostpots. Eventually, he joined fledgling forces in the studio with another future star, Paul Kalkbrenner of Berlin Calling fame.

The '00s saw Funke develop a close association with Ellen Allien's Bpitch Control imprint, which has released a substantial amount of his original output over the years. 

Funk's sound boasts a quintessentially German aesthetic, equal parts emotive lyricism and stark minimalist functionality. Today, he's cemented his reputation as one of Berlin's foremost exponents of cutting-edge contemporary techno. 

His appearance in Miami comes, again courtesy of the PL0T crew, who never fail to delight and surprise Miami's small but fanatical community of techno lovers. They host Sascha Funke for a special Friday night performance at the Electric Pickle, along with residents Alejandro Sab and Basti.

Sascha Funke, with Alejandro Sab and Basti. 11 p.m.-5 a.m. Friday, August 6. Electric Pickle, 2826 N. Miami Ave., Miami. Ages 21 and up. 305-456-5613; electricpicklemiami.com
