Big Thanks to @arkadiusz-dmytrow for this beauty and for answering some of our questions! <3

Musical beginnings?

I got into electronic music at the age of 14 through my older cousin. He gave me Prodigy and Moby on the good old mixtape. I listened to that for years until I got bored with it. After times of rock, new metal and rap, I only came back to electronic music when I moved to Offenbach am Main. I lived within walking distance of the Robert Johnson Club, which I visited almost every weekend. I was fascinated by the versatility and variability of the music. I quickly started to get to know the different subgenres and to collect music myself. I didn't actually start djing until years later during my studies in Würzburg. An acquaintance from my old home gave me two turntables and a mixer. I also bought a tractor toy from Native Instruments. From then on, I rehearsed on both almost every day, much to the chagrin of my housemates at the time. After a while, I started uploading my mixes to Soundcloud 2010-2012, the scene was still quite small. I quickly met Uwe aka Elektro Uwe who pushed me and my sound. I also met an old companion at a seminar. The two of us joined forces with another person and started to organise the legendary picnic events in Würzburg. After that, everything went quite fast and I got bookings from all over Germany and abroad.

Key experience in your musical career?

One of my key experiences that got me into DJing was about 13 years ago at the Nation Of Gondwana during Mano Le Tough's performance. His sound was truly unique for that time and literally fit like a glove there and at that moment. Sunshine, Sunday afternoon and lots of relaxed, dancing people. Add to that his bass-heavy, super spherical sound. One goosebump moment followed the next. And that for over 3 hours. Wow. In retrospect, I have to admit that not only this performance, but his sound and his set conception in general have influenced me quite strongly in my own style.

First thing you do when the pandemic is over?

From a musical perspective, I obviously wish for a quick end to the measures by the German government. Not only for me, but of course also for the whole scene itself. I would wish a quick resumption for everyone involved, no matter if club owners, bouncers, bar staff, technicians, bookers, etc. The only thing I lack is the belief in it. Even despite the vaccine. If the German government continues to stick rigidly to the incidence value and the related testing strategy as the only constant for assessing the pandemic situation, nothing will change quickly. As things stand at present, there will be no big events. Perhaps the next government will come up with something better, more freedom- and culture-friendly. That is the only glimmer of hope I have for germany. Otherwise, I see no hope for the majority of the current German club scene.
However, I will be playing festivals abroad this summer. The next festival is the LAZ Festival 2021 in Poland. I'm particularly looking forward to that. Besides the festival and playing in front of people, I can finally see my family again, which I've been missing since the beginning of the pandemic.

Favourite Recipe and Secret Ingredient?

I don't really have a favourite recipe. I love to cook almost every day, but I haven't really stuck to recipes for a long time. And most vegan recipes don't really blow me away, to be honest, or are either quite similar or unhealthy in the long run (burgers etc.).
Secret ingredient? Phew, depends on the dish. With vegan sausages, for example, cooked rice is a must, along with many other ingredients. It makes the sausages quite fluffy and juicy in combination with saitan etc. For salad dressings, I swear by the cumin, coriander and nutmeg spice mix. It really adds that certain something to the sauce that blows everyone away. I won't tell you more about my secret kitchen weapons here. Just come by and let me surprise you.

Getting Deeper Podcast #129 Mixed By Jake The Rapper

For Chrystal Chris, DJ sets are a mosaic of changing beats, rhythms and frequencies of life, retold as synthesis of the perfect imperfection. They polarise between fragility and strength, stagnancy and progression, despair and hope - with the aim to shine you bright.

Her sound travels vary from Electronica to Deep and Acid House, IDM, Trip Hop, Glitch and Ambient (Techno) - being influenced by artists like Max Cooper, Rival Consoles, Jon Hopkins and Four Tet. When playing live, she enthuses the audience with a rousing performance and her literal bounce.

In 2017, she found her homebase in Berlin where she is constantly being inspired by the diverse music community. In August 2019 she released her first track ‘Beary Me!'. 
As @Saphear, Chrystal Chris teams up with violinist @Sawatzki who improvises to her DJ sets. With @kolibrisinfonie they not only started an event series but also a platform to highlight electronic music artists they appreciate from their heart.

Venues & Festivals CC played at:
Aduka Festival, Anomalie, Antaris Project, Bar 512, Beate Uwe, Birgit & Bier, Bulbul, Crack Bellmer, Freundetreffen Festival, Fusion Festival, Hafenklang, JupiBar, Int. Studentenclub Witzenhausen, Kili Club, KELLER, Klunkerkranich, Kurhotel, Meeresrausch Festival, Mensch Meier, Polygon, Südpol, Süss. War Gestern, Turtur, Vorland, Wale Literaturcafe
