Born Lorenz Brunner in Lower Bavaria, Germany, Recondite emerged from the dense forests and rural expanse of his homeland to become one of techno’s most atmospheric and introspective voices. His early exposure to classical music and the melancholic landscapes of Bavaria shaped his unique sonic signature—a blend of deep, emotive techno with a distinctive sense of minimalism and subtlety. Making his debut in 2011, Recondite quickly gained international recognition with a string of acclaimed productions on labels like Dystopian, Innervisions, Hotflush, and his own Plangent Records.

His debut album, *On Acid* (2012), drew critical praise for bridging the gap between acid, ambient, and techno, leading to high-profile shows at Berghain, Panorama Bar, and world-renowned festivals. Releases such as *Hinterland* (2013) and *Iffy* (2014) further established his ethereal yet driving sound, exploring themes of nature, memory, and solitude. A reserved and thoughtful performer, Recondite’s live sets are renowned for weaving hypnotic narratives, often tailored to both intimate club settings and large-scale festival stages.

His music eschews brashness in favor of nuanced emotion—a quality that resonated deeply across the genres of techno, house, and ambient. Consistently evolving, Recondite broadened his palette with collaborations and remixes for artists like Tale Of Us, Scuba, and Laurine Frost, while continuing to release innovative albums such as *Daemmerlicht* (2018) and *Bird* (2023), the latter infusing hints of IDM and cinematic electronica. His commitment to authenticity and artistic growth ensures a loyal following among listeners who crave emotional depth and atmospheric immersion in their electronic music.
