PRIMAL STATE

Theo Lemaire, also known as Primal State, has become a key figure in Berlin’s club scene, recognized for a sound that blends percussive precision with emotional depth. As a resident at DESSERT, mitmischen, and Art for Industry, he bridges driving late-night energy with introspective moments on the dancefloor. His style is rooted in hypnotic and dub techno – minimal, bass-driven, and atmospheric. Rather than relying on obvious peaks, he builds subtle tension through fine movement and percussive detail, creating sets that are both physical and deeply immersive. With multiple appearances at Berghain, a steadily growing following, and a widely praised vinyl-only set at HÖR, Primal State has established himself as an artist who thrives on authenticity and sonic depth – connecting with those who lose themselves in the groove rather than chasing hype.
