Pipe Dreams fading into Reality - Fabian Krooss

Sounds Of Khemit builds on the success of their first release by quickly following up with a superb
various artist collection. A broad mix of artists from around the world all contribute to what is a
brilliantly diverse album.
The Sounds of Khemit label is focused on serving up music to transport the listener to higher states of
consciousness, unlocking and strengthening our life mission on this planet. It aims to bring harmony and joy
to people in their daily lives, and this new collection sure backs that up.
LA-based deep house dreamer Sarkis Mikael kicks it off with 'Mountain Rising,' a gently undulating groove
laden with bittersweet chords and keys that rise through the mix. UK duo Death on the Balcony has a stylish
house sound and has released on the likes of All Day I Dream. They offer 'Lake Andromeda,' a humid roller
with wispy pads and the gentle patter of toms papering the groove. Label co-founder Nhii and Wild Dark
return to Sounds Of Khemit after contributing 'Hanga Roa' to the first EP. 'Dreamers' is seven seductive
minutes of cloudy synths and pillowy drums that sink you in deep.
Ykonosh is an up-and-coming Mexican duo composed of life-long friends. They have already turned heads
with tunes on Underyourskin Records, and now 'Heka' takes you into a late night and exotic world of
enchanting house music. Fabian Krooss is a Berlin-based talent who also appeared on this label's first EP.
His 'Papilio' is beautifully delicate and roomy, with fractured melodies darting about over soft drums. Turkey's
Serkan Eles has travelled between downtempo, ethnic and melodic house throughout his career. Here he
does so to spine-tingling effect thanks to the heavenly vocal that hangs above his succulent house grooves.
The Seville outfit Holed Coin always tends to tell musical stories that fuse the organic with the electronic. With
'Learning', they go slow, leaving you plenty of space and time to get lost in the arcing pads and jumbled
percussive sounds. B.o.T's 'Poor Stranger' then gets more upright with a breezy house groove packed with
melodic and percussive details. London based Kindisch artist Jim Rider brings the majestic 'Hunter's Harp,'
before Jordanian pair and alternative desert house duo Fairplay deliver 'Things' a slice of eerie and
atmospheric house. The album closes with Vruno, a Chile-born but Berlin-based artist who again showcases
his naturalistic sounds with the epic strings and melodies of 'Pali Satty.'
Khepri is a fine statement of musical intent from this already vital label.

EG SPOTLIGHT.193 Fabian Krooss

I've always been a huge fan of longer set times as it enables me to fully tell my stories without any boundaries, which is why the concept of Flow Sessions deeply resonated with me early on. I deep dived in my library for days and after everything was set, I've just let it flow in my studio for 3 hours 33 minutes and 33 seconds, fluently grooving to higher BPMs, playing some of the most beautiful tracks I've collected over the years. Some hidden gems, some long forgotten beauties, a few new unreleased tracks of mine... I hope you flow as much as I did while recording this and it makes the upcoming autumn and winter months a little more bearable to you if you're based in the northern hemispheres. If you're to be found in the southern hemispheres I hope it makes you smile to the sun and appreciate life and music to the fullest. Isn't music such a beautiful thing?!

The September Wonders - Fabian Krooss

Fabian Krooss (@https://soundcloud.com/fabiankrooss) presents Afterhour Sounds Podcast Nr. 197

 Wie würdest du deinen Stil beschreiben und wen möchstest du damit erreichen?

Verspielt, frech, groovy, minimalistisch und melodisch wären so Adjektive die mir da in den Sinn kommen. Welchem Genre ich mich zuordnen würde - keine Ahnung. Mein Ziel ist es immer gewesen meinen eigenen Stil zu entwickeln, eine eigene Handschrift sozusagen. Meine Musik setzt sich aus vielen, unterschiedlichen Einflüssen zusammen. Von einschneidenden Erlebnissen in Berliner Clubs oder Festivals bis hin zu Produzenten wie Midas 104, O/Y, Roy Rosenfeld oder Frivolous, die mich immer wieder aufs Neue inspirieren. Aus all diesen Einflüssen koche ich dann mein eigenes Süppchen. 
Wen ich mit meiner Musik erreichen möchte? Jeden der die Sprache meiner Musik versteht. Für mich ist Musik etwas Einzigartiges. Manche Tracks haben eine ganz besondere Wirkung auf mich und lösen unglaublich schöne Emotionen in mir aus. Letztendlich möchte ich mit meiner Musik genau das Gleiche bei Anderen erreichen. Ich möchte Menschen überraschen, berühren aber gleichzeitig auch ein bisschen verwirren und überfordern. Mit persönlich fehlt das alles nämlich ein bisschen beim Feiern. Mir fehlt häufig die Emotion und Einzigartigkeit in der Musik. Letztendlich ist das auch Geschmacksache, aber ich denke ein bisschen verrücktere happy Musik tut uns allen gut.

Du bist ja in den letzten 1-2 Jahren überaus aktiv gewesen, was eigenes Produzieren und den Partykosmos angeht. Magst du uns ein bisschen was über deinen Werdegang erzählen?

Ja das kann man so sagen. Vor allem war ich sehr aktiv im Studio. Ich habe im Frühjahr 2019 mein Studium abgeschlossen und mich daraufhin eigentlich voll und ganz der Musik gewidmet. Aber auch in den Jahren zuvor war die Musik immer mein Anker und meine Leidenschaft. 
Im August 2018 hatte ich mein Debutrelease auf Dantze, 2019 habe ich dann genutzt um meine Musik weiterzuentwickeln und somit sehr viel Zeit im Studio verbracht. 2020 erblickt nun endlich mehr Musik von mir das Licht der Welt. Im März habe ich 'Insomniac' auf Serafin Audio Imprint released, vor zwei Tagen erschien dann eine EP mit zwei Titeln von mir auf Weirdos Records und Ende Juli und im August folgen noch zwei Nummern auf Einmusika Recordings und Stil vor Talent. Darauf freue ich mich sehr! Es ist ein sehr schönes Gefühl wenn die eigene Musik ein Zuhause findet. 

Kannst du uns noch etwas über diesen Podcast erzählen?

Viele Menschen verbinden mit einer Afterhour entweder harten Techno oder Downtempo. Ich kann mich auf einer Afterhour durchaus auch an solcher Musik erfreuen, am meisten holt mich jedoch flotte, minimalistische, verspielte und abwechslungsreiche Musik ab.
Wenn ich an Afterhour denke, hab ich den Kater Kiosk vor Augen. Ein Gläschen Sekt auf Eis in der einen Hand, mit der anderen hält man sich an den Seilen fest, denn die Beine können eigentlich nicht mehr. Das Einzige was einen noch bei Laune hält ist die Musik. Für eine gelungene Afterhour gehört natürlich noch weit mehr dazu als nur gute Musik, aber spätestens wenn die Kräfte langsam schwinden, steht und fällt eine Party für mich mit der Musik. Denn am Ende ist Musik die beste Droge. 
So gesehen ist dieses Set ein gesunder Mischkonsum aus einzigartigen Produktionen, genau die richtige Mischung um bei Laune zu bleiben und zu tanzen bis das Licht angeht.

‘Music is my anchor, my passion, my favorite form of expression’, Fabian says, adding: ‘I want to surprise’. It’s this belief in freedom that drives his work as an artist, unafraid to experiment and craft a profoundly personal sound in the process. A juxtaposition often sits at the heart of his tracks, as Fabian sprinkles lush or mischievous melodies over springy, sometimes elastic and other times static rhythms, nodding to organic and minimal house at once. It’s Fabian’s deep-rooted feeling for sound that fuse these disparate motifs into an irresistible whole as his productions unfold and flourish with intricate details and surprising touches, always united under a tight groove.

All of these addictive attributes are equally omnipresent when Fabian helms the booth – with a nonchalance rooted in pure joy that’s perceivable in an instant. Here, again, he intrinsically becomes the storyteller, weaving an authentic narrative while turning the room upside down. Whether that’s with a sunny selection at Sisyphos Strand, peak-time power at Bucht der Träumer, Wilde Möhre or Feel Festival or a dubbed-out affair for Afterhour Sounds. While by no means a recent presence in Berlin with past gigs at favourites like Kater Blau, Sisyphos, or Ritter Butzke, the last years took Fabian further afield to festivals like The Monastery, Feel, scene highlight ADE or shows around the world in Tulum, Zanzibar, New York, Istanbul, Amsterdam and many more. 

With itchy feet for the floor and a bright future ahead, Fabian’s firmly set sail to return to the booth – enabling big emotions and wide smiles in the meantime by way of his ever-evolving, always-sparkling music.
