  • Théatrophone - DJs / Producers
    May 28 2026

    What happens when two friends in Berlin decide to turn their love for electronic music into a full-fledged production duo? Meet Theatrophone, Nico and Jonathan, the creative minds behind some of the most exciting remixes coming out of Germany right now.

    In this episode of The Sanctuary, Theatrophone talks about their musical journey: from Nico's late introduction to guitar and Jonathan's childhood piano lessons to their first EP and the moment they realised their music was resonating with people beyond just their friends. They break down their creative process, from starting with a melody to building the drop first, and share why emotion is the non-negotiable ingredient in every track they make.

    They also discuss the unexpected origin of their name (hint: it's the Spotify of the 18th century), how Berlin's dark and gritty club scene has influenced their sound, and their honest thoughts on AI in music.

    Plus, they offer invaluable advice for anyone just starting their production journey: don't rush, don't chase trends, and make music that makes you feel something—even if only one person listens.

    Théatrophone is a Producer-Duo from Berlin in Germany.

    With their phonic electronic style, they provide to you a versatile show that builds the bridge between deephouse, techhouse and acoustic sounds.
