‘Depressive in a good way’: DJ and producer Shed on his new album, revisiting his first home in East Germany

We met up with DJ and producer Shed, aka René Pawlowitz,
following the November 29 release of his fifth
studio album “Oderbruch” on Berghain’s label
Ostgut Ton.


Pawlowitz opens up about the inspiration for the album, which
centers around memories from the region his family’s from in East
Germany. He talks about how the area has changed and doesn’t hide
the sense of nostalgia that emerges: “It’s a mixture of being sad
but also happy. It’s depressive in a good way,” he says.
