Paul Kalkbrenner
Paul Kalkbrenner builds his tracks out of separate elements and reassembles them live on stage, which is why he insists he is a live act rather than a DJ, and it is a meaningful distinction if you have seen it. Sky and Sand, made with his brother, went platinum and became one of the defining German electronic tracks of the century. He then starred in the film it came from, playing a DJ falling apart.

Where to start with Paul Kalkbrenner
The catalogue holds the film and its soundtrack. Berlin Calling is the 2008 film, in which he plays a Berlin DJ coming apart, and it ran in one Berlin cinema for years. Berlin Calling: The Soundtrack is the record, which is his best-known work by a distance and carries Sky and Sand. Start with the soundtrack and watch the film afterwards if it lands.
