Powerful, melodic, and uncompromisingly danceable – Niklas and Branko, aka Hidden Empire, stand for a sound that effortlessly dissolves the boundaries between Techno and House.
As producers, DJs, and live acts, the duo has been an integral part of the global electronic music scene for over a decade. Their trademark: the perfect balance of driving grooves, atmospheric soundscapes, and a production quality that sets international standards.
Their ascent is underscored by releases on some of the scene's most influential labels:
Stil vor Talent: As core artists on Oliver Koletzki's label, they played a decisive role in shaping the imprint's modern sound.
Cercle Records: With performances and releases on this world-renowned platform, they solidified their status as outstanding live acts.
Filth on Acid: On Reinier Zonneveld's label, they proved their impact within the peak-time sector.
Truesoul: On Adam Beyer’s Drumcode sister label, they demonstrated multiple times that their unique blend of House and Techno cannot be pigeonholed.
HER: With the 2025 launch of their own label, HER (Hidden Empire Records), they have taken the next logical step: creating their own platform to independently evolve their musical vision.
Whether on the "Turmbühne" at Fusion Festival, in sweaty underground clubs, or through their acclaimed albums – Hidden Empire know exactly how to transfer studio energy directly to the dancefloor. For years, they have been touring the globe: from the USA, South America, and Africa to Australia and Asia, there is hardly a dancefloor they haven't set in motion.
In this masterclass, Niklas shares his profound knowledge, showing you how to develop your own signature sound using technical precision and creative flow.
DAW-Independent: Your System, Your Workflow
In this masterclass, Niklas works with the Ableton Live 12 Suite and consistently uses internal stock devices, but the focus is on something much more important: the workflow.
The principles shown—from strategic kit-building and the analysis of energy curves to smart mixing—are universally transferable. Whether you are at home in FL Studio, Logic Pro, Bitwig, or Cubase: the techniques for creating space in the mix or forming complex textures from simple audio signals work in any environment.
Software Focus: Niklas uses Ableton Live 12 Suite.
Minimal Effort: The focus is on stock tools instead of expensive third-party plugins.
Maximum Freedom: All concepts are 100% transferable to any other DAW.
"It's not about the tool, it's about the result. We use Ableton to show you principles that will take your sound to the next level, no matter which DAW you use."
