Sven von Thülen has contributed in innumerable ways to the rise of what we today call “club culture." As a promoter, writer, producer and DJ, he has witnessed the emergence of Berlin as a world capital of electronic music and been an integral part of its growth. Sven von Thülen is as important as anyone in the city's creative ascendance. He has had a significant intellectual impact on the Berlin scene through his analysis of its earliest beginnings, co-authoring an oral history on the rise of Berlin techno called “Der Klang die Familie: Berlin, Techno, und die Wende”.
