Felix Kröcher

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.
