Lawrence

Aka: Sten

Peter M. Kersten aka Lawrence / Sten launched the dial label in 2000 together with his flat mate and dj friend Carsten Jost. In 2005 he released the record store and Label "Smallville" in Hamburg St. Pauli. After his Lawrence releases on Ghostly International, Cocoon, Mule Electronics, Kompakt and Sender it is the Sten moniker which reduces Kersten`s musicality to the magic moments on a minimal dancefloor. His deep and functional Detroitish minimal techno hit the djs choice from the first 12inch to Sten's Album "Leaving the Frantic" 2004 on dial. So DJs like Sven Väth, Tobias Thomas, Andre Galluzzi, Josh Wink caught tracks for their compilations.  Due to his large Output Peter Kersten toured around the world to invite the dancing people on a deep journey into Lawrence/Sten-sound, hitting the floors in Russia, the United States, South America, all over Europe and even Japan, where he released a compilation in 2006 of his best tracks, Remixes and some exclusive new tunes on Mule Electronic. His deep love to house and techno music made him launching a record store in Hamburg, St. Pauli called "Smallville".
