Pole is a dubtronic/glitch artist, producer, and mastering engineer based in Berlin. He is known for his innovative sound that combines elements of dub and electronic music. As the founder of *l=~scape* (now defunct) and *Pole* labels, he has been instrumental in shaping the underground music scene.

With his unique approach to production, Pole has gained a dedicated following among fans of experimental music. His soundscapes are characterized by intricate rhythms, fragmented melodies, and atmospheric textures. Drawing inspiration from artists like Jan Jelinek, Vladislav Delay, and Monolake, Pole pushes the boundaries of genre conventions.

In addition to his work as an artist, Pole also runs *Scape Mastering*, a renowned studio where he provides mastering services for other musicians. His expertise in this field has made him a sought-after collaborator for many acclaimed performers.

Pole is Düsseldorf-native musician, producer and mastering engineer Stefan Betke, and is known for his unique musical language oscillating between melody and avant-garde in electronic music, with audible influences from Dub and Jazz music. While the subject of his critically acclaimed 2020 Fading focussed on coping with dementia and the loss of memory over time, Tempus focuses on the connection between the past, the present and the future. Translating to tense in English, Tempus investigates whether music that was created in the past, can still be audible and influential for the present, and how much can this music shine into the future.
