PLO Man is a Berlin-based DJ, producer, and co-founder of the record label Acting Press. Known for his eclectic blends of house, techno, breakbeat, and obscure electronica, he has distinguished himself through wide-ranging and adventurous DJ sets that often include rare or unreleased tracks. With roots in Vancouver, PLO Man’s taste and sensibility have been shaped by years of deep digging and a passion for unconventional soundscapes.

Active since the mid-2010s, PLO Man has built a cult following through a series of influential mixes—such as those for the Trushmix and Blowing Up the Workshop series—and with his pivotal role in curating the catalog of Acting Press. The label has become synonymous with boundary-pushing releases, both his own production work and those of frequent collaborators including C3D-E and Hashman Deejay. PLO Man’s production output, though selective, is highly respected for its intricate, atmospheric approach, blending dreamy melodies with gritty, low-key percussion and dubbed-out textures.

Avoiding the mainstream spotlight, he prefers intimate venues and underground parties, where his enigmatic, deeply immersive sets are best experienced. His commitment to vinyl and the art of mixing, alongside his penchant for anonymity, has cemented his status as a cult figure in contemporary underground dance music.
