nΦra besitzt die Superkraft, eine magisch-emotionale Atmosphäre energiegeladener Downtempomomente inmitten des hektischen Alltags zu manifestieren. Ihre perfekt gewählten Tracks laden sich über die Dauer ihrer Klangreise kontinuierlich auf und geben ihre Kraft in akribisch genau getimten Knalleffekten, während der gesamten Abfahrt, wieder.
Diese ganz spezielle Magie entlädt sich vom Kater in Berlin über die Bar am Ende der Welt bis in die Station Endlos nach Halle und weit über die Landesgrenzen hinaus in die Schweiz, zum Mystic Creature Festival oder nach Amsterdam.
Wo ihr Name auf dem Timetable auftaucht, ist qualitativer Downtempo der besten Machart garantiert. Gekonnte Entschleunigung trifft punktgenaue Basslines – saftig saubere Bässe paaren sich elegant mit richtungsweisender Tonation perfekt inszenierter, melodischer Klangvariablen.
Die Mischung aus emotionaler Feinfühligkeit und kräftig schiebenden Druckpassagen malt ein ideales Bild von vollkommenem Downtempo.

Florian Kruse (Last Night On Earth / Kompakt)

There aren’t many people that can say that they have devoted their entire life to electronic music, Florian is most certainly one of them. DJ, producer, lecturer, plus label owner? Yes, Kruse has ticked all the boxes. 

His passion for music began in his hometown in Northern Germany. An avid reader of Frontline magazine, and later the Raveline, his love for electronic music was born at 14, when he bought his first turntable. Early influences included legends such as Moodyman, Herbert and Steve Bug. At 16, Kruse invested in his first sampler, a mixer and a keyboard. With music in mind, he made the natural migration to Hamburg in 2002, where he studied Audio Engineering, and later taught at SAE. 
Long time in the game, he started his music career in 2007, with his first vinyl release on Stokholms, Heya Hifi. Since then, Kruse has only grown as both a producer and a DJ. With Stel Vassiloudis and Nils Nuernberg, he became project Wiretappeur, with releases on Bedrock and a remix for label head honcho John Digweed. Nils Nuernberg quickly became his partner in crime, and together became the production duo Kruse & Nuernberg, their hypnotic Deep House sound making appearances on Liebe*Detail, Exploited, and Rejected. In 2008 they started their own label, Save Room Recordings. 
A focus on his own productions, Kruse plunged into a solo career with a release on Anjunadeep, working together with his older brother Vincenzo and one of his long time idols Lisa Shaw. Followed by releases on Noir Music, Poker Flat Recordings, Stil Vor Talent, Joris Voorn’s GREEN imprint, Kompakt, Last Night On Earth and Suara and remixes by Noir, Eagles & Butterflies, Joris Voorn, Pleasurekraft, Coyu, David Morales and the list of releases and remixes goes on. After a couple of feature tracks with singer / songwriter Hendrik Burkhard Florian and Hendrik started a LIVE project presenting ‘TheGround’ with an album (Dediction) in October 2017 on Steve Bug’s Audimatique label.
With long time passion for house and techno that dates back to the early years, Kruse is first and foremost a DJ, taking his signature sound to world renowned clubs. Now settled in the German capital, Berlin, a true hub for electronic music, with regular DJ appearances at the city's infamous underground clubs.
