Pole is the artistic name of Stefan Betke, a artist commonly associated with the genre as well as .

Pole took his name from a filter, which he accidentally dropped and broke in 1996. Though the filter was perhaps no longer appropriate for DJ work in its damaged state, Betke found the strange hissing and popping noises the filter now made interesting sounds. He then began using the broken filter to create music, launching his musical career.

Betke's first four albums, titled 1, 2, 3, and R (an intentional trilogy of albums, followed by a collection of remixes of Pole's 1998 debut EP ), were all based around this filter, with songs usually taking the form of basslines and rhythms with percussion provided by the eponymous filter. In 2003 Betke departed from this style for the album (a combination of tracks from two EPs, "45/45" and "90/90"), which utilized more traditionally electronic but still eclectic production.

Pole has been distributed on several different labels, including and , and in 1999 Betke cofounded (with ) the label , also known for publishing . On September 1st 2011, Betke founded a new artist label named Pole.
