Born and raised in the streets of Cali, Bretthagel aka John Fernando, began his musical journey at the age of 12. Where he got an old guitar and started playing songs by Metallica and Nirvana.
At 18, now in Germany a change of heart led him to make and produce rap music until he arrived in Berlin and found electronic music.
When Bretthagel beatmatched two records at once at an afterhour 8 years ago, he made the decision to continue DJing and become more musically active and evolve in terms of techno.

His musical path has led him through the electronic club scene of Berlin, where his sets filled the dance floors, which gave him the name Bretthagel.
An otherwise quiet contemporary, Bretthagel mutates into a fiery Latino on the decks, making the floor and walls shake as he walks the fine lines between techno, techhouse and melodic techno. He resided at MAZE and Shorty Bar in Berlin Kreuzberg until its closure and was also booked for gigs in Spain, Poland and Switzerland.

Since the summer of 2021, Bretthagel has been a resident at Basel-based Musik im Kopf, joining Ned O'Neal to open the next chapter and tinker with fat sound. Suffice to say, the techno scene should expect big things from Bretthagel in the future.
