Felix Kröcher was born in
Frankfurt-Main on the 1st of December 1983. Already as a young
boy he found his interest in electronic music.
He got infected through his sister and her friends playing
recordings of the legendary CLUBNIGHT. With the age of ten years
he bought his first two turntables to practise and improve his
mixing skills almost every day!
When he was 14 he started visiting his first events like Mayday,
Nature One and the Loveparade, went to clubs like STAMMHEIM in
Kassel or the PALAZZO in Bingen.
Finishing school he applied for a practical training at the
music office of radio SUNSHINE-LIVE. April 2001 the motivated
new boy in radio business started his radio-career at the
nationwide Dance Radiostation Sunshine-live in Schwetzingen.
Where he appeared live for the first time on the air on april
21, 2001 spinning 2 hours live in the show "Global Trax".
In collaboration with his production-colleagues Boris Schalk he
released 2002/2003 his first vinyl DECKSHARKS on the lable SKULL
TUNES which obtained bis success. It also enqueued into the new
sound (Hardtechno) of the young and wild.
Cooperations on events, productions etc. with acts like Boris S,
Frank Kvitta, Robert Natus, Sven Wittekind or Tobias Lüke were
following. But studioworks and gigs were not neglected because
of this.
His career was minted in 2004 with new experiences and
impressions. He succeeded gig by gig to catch the attention of
the audiences through his appearing. Playing all over Europe he
casted the spell over the sight of the public. With a new
concept he started his first own radio show HARDLINER on
sunshine-live in August.
Additional releases like the "Frontline Ep" or "Réka Ep" were
following and found much success in the young Hardtechno-scene,
which he operatively built up with from scratch on.
2005 he spinned for the first time at NATURE ONEs´ Century
Circus and since that the "scene" faces him as the newcomer of
the year. He is resident at the legendary U60311 in Frankfurt am
Main and his radioshow HARDLINER gets more successful week by
week. He gives hope to the new "Techno-DJ-Generation". The Lable
COMPRESSED conducted by Felix as the A&R adepts big success, not
least because of his strict choice of artist and their tracks.
So far he produced tracks for KNEE Deep, Skull Tunes, Killaz,
Proud, Abstract and many others.
His uncompromising, hart sound gives him a more and more growing
number of fans. Also in 2005 he pulled up international. In
october he controverted his very successful South-America Tour,
with gigs in Caracas/Venezuela and Bogota/Colombia. Other stages
this year were Spain, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, Slovenia,
Croatia, Hungary, Austria, Poland, Israel, USA etc.
His success can be explained next to his productions, which he
solely does with Boris Schalk since 2003, with his charming way
to party together with the audience and his hilariously way to
communicate with them. As a pay back he will release a
compilation with 2 mixes and screenshots of his gig at Nature
One by the end of this year, which will include a live mix of
his set at the U60311 on november 18, 2005.
2006 Felix will enlarge his resident night at the U60311 with
many other national and international dj collegues.
His first Vinyl Album "Forward Movements" will be at the stores
in January, giving his personal musical retrospect of the year.
