ICTV is a Berlin-born and based DJ and producer who’s been soaking up deep and tech house since the 90s—probably before he could even walk. His tracks are like emotional rollercoasters wrapped in such sleek sound design, you’ll wonder if your speakers are flirting with you.

2024 has been a breakout year for ICTV, with 12-inch releases on renowned labels such as House Puff Records and Limited White Label. His music has garnered support from heavyweights in the scene, including Brawther, DJ Steaw, and Franck Roger—solidifying his presence as one to watch.

A regular at Berlin underground hotspots like Sisyphos, ICTV’s sets are filled with hidden gems and carefully selected tracks that keep the crowd moving.

Hot off the back of his latest EP LTDBLBL016 on Ltd B/Lbl the Berlin deep houser talks us through music that heled inspire his sound we hear today.

An amazing record from a very under-the-radar artist. Around 2015 he was part of the label and duo “LB Produce”. Although there were only 6 releases on this label, it’s still one of my favorites until today. Very deep and intricate house music

One of my all time favorite producers. Has been a huge inspiration and influence, not just through his music but also through his “Interweaved” Community that has helped me grow a lot as a producer in recent years.

One of my more recent influences. Joshua, also part of the duo Iz & Diz, has such a huge catalog and shaped a lot of the 90s and early 2000s US West Coast sound that I’m really into at the moment. There’s a lot of tunes from him that I love but this one has to be my favorite.

Put this here as a placeholder for the whole Giegling label, which has always impressed me with its singular, atmospheric sound. This “Insecurity Guard” album is probably my favorite amongst their catalog

Grant has inspired me for a long time and I’ve been listening a lot to his records on his self-named “Grant” imprint and also his mixes on soundcloud with all original productions. Super deep and moody 90s influenced deep house.
