Ellen Allien (born Ellen Fraatz, 1968, West Berlin) is a German DJ, producer, and label founder who has been a central figure in Berlin's techno underground since the early 1990s. She founded BPitch Control in 1999 - a label that launched careers of artists like Modeselektor and Apparat - and later added UFO Inc. in 2018 for rawer, harder dancefloor material. Her music blends techno with IDM and experimental elements, drawing on the culture of post-reunification Berlin as a constant source of inspiration.
Ellen Allien released the single 'Riot' on June 4, 2026 via BPitch, a preview track from her forthcoming album 'New Life'.
Ellen Allien announced her ninth studio album 'New Life', scheduled for release on July 9, 2026 via BPitch, alongside the lead single 'Steh Auf'.
Ellen Allien received the Polyton Award in the EDM category at a ceremony in Berlin on March 25, 2026, for her performance at Berlin Beats at Hamburger Bahnhof.
Ellen Allien released 'Under The Ocean' on July 18, 2025 via BPitch - a personal tribute to her mother, who passed away in early 2025.
In 2024, Ellen Allien curated 14 BPitch and 3 UFO Inc. releases, expanding the label roster with numerous new artists.
