Kr!z

More than a decade at the front of techno, shaped by the hypnotic, energetic end of Jeff Mills, Steve Rachmad and James Ruskin before settling into an identity of his own. Token Records launched in 2007 and became a leading outlet for heady, purist sound — always straightforward, sometimes weird, often catchy — carried around the world through label nights on every continent. After twelve years curating other people's records, his debut EP "Mantra" arrived on Token in 2019, followed by work for Voltage Imprint, MindTrip, James Ruskin's Blueprint and Setaoc Mass's SK_eleven. Behind the decks it runs on deeply hypnotic grooves, syncopated rhythms and wide reverberating atmospheres, intensities built and collapsed with the precision of a calculation.
