Productions

After setting the tone with two originals and one remix with us back in 2020, Berlin-based producer @fabiankrooss returns this year with his debut solo sortie, 'Planet D'. A nod to the ecological nonsense that envisages salute in departing our beloved 'Planet A' for other celestial bodies to tear down - such as a fictional 'Planet D', the EP runs the gamut from minimalistic club grooves to blissed-out tropical chuggers, via further atmospheric excursions.

Artist: Fabian Krooss
Title: Planet D
Label: Stil vor Talent
Catalog No.: SVT294
Release Date: 2021-04-06

1. Fabian Krooss, Jacob Stille - Watatata
2. Fabian Krooss - Time to Act
3. Fabian Krooss - Night Owl
4. Fabian Krooss - Twisted Mind
5. Fabian Krooss - Night Owl (Midas 104 Remix)
6. Fabian Krooss - Time to Act (Theo Meier Remix)

Whilst 'Time To Act' serves up a dynamic symphony of FX-laden elements joining forces to fight off anxiety for our future, Theo Meier’s revamp takes the track into further functional club territory with clinical poise. The even lusher 'Night Owl' reels out as an ode to nature and its healing powers, bringing forth a vibrant mix of bassy power and refined, balearic-informed ambient scapes, whereas Midas 104’s version injects just the right amount of bounce and jazz into its hypnotic folds. 'Watatata', a collaboration with Jacob Stille, smoothly takes you on the other side with an innovative and playful touch and 'Twisted Mind' simply rounds it all up with an intergalactic bang.

Channeling earthly energies with a strongly poetic power of evocation, 'Planet D' is an invitation to refocus, carried by the hope of fuelling a new, sustainable vision for tomorrow.

Schattenspiel - Auftritt Des Peitschenanglers (Fabian Krooss Remix) [Rebellion der Träumer]

Click for more ♬

Published earlier this year, Stil vor Talent main operator Oliver Koletzki’s ninth studio full-length “Made of Wood" gets the remix treatment courtesy of label staples Super Flu, Fabian Krooss, AFFKT and newcomer Kunterweiß, each of whom add their distinctively vivid and elegant spin to Koletzki’s tribal-informed, drum-centric narratives. 

Artist: Oliver Koletzki @oliverkoletzki
Label: Stil vor Talent
Catalogue No.: SVT308
Release Date: 2021-12-03

1. Oliver Koletzki - Copal (Super Flu Remix)
2. Oliver Koletzki & Niko Schwind feat. Judith Ahrends - Picture (Fabian Krooss Remix) 
3. Oliver Koletzki - Made of Cashmere (AFFKT Remix) 
4. Oliver Koletzki - La Veleta (Kunterweiß Remix)

First in line, high-profile Halle duo Super Flu takes on the desert caravan groove of “Copal” with a deluge of sub-heavy gunnery, processed oud, darbukas and incantatory whispers weaving a mist-shrouded tableau of hi-tech shamanic ritualism primed for climactic big-room use. SVT alum Fabian Krooss then tweaks the nostalgia-drenched “Picture” (feat. Judith Ahrends) into an infinitely sleek, smooth-tongued delight of whirling electronics and enticingly hypnotic pop motifs - perfect for either sunrise or sunset limb-shaking with your loved one. Or a good, healthy cry too.

Back to a hyper dynamic mindset, AFFKT’s hi-octane reshape of “Made of Cashmere” goes straight for the jugular with its paced-up EBM meets electro-rock momentum. A savage groove paves the way and it’s a no-nonsense thunder of raucous riffs and cosmic arpeggios that awaits for the dance-floor. But are they ready? Going the more intimate path, Kunterweiß rounds it off with a muted downtempo revisit of “La Veleta”, meshing the slo-blazing suavity of the slap bass with Andean flutes and an enhanced focus on faux-organic textures and envelopes to lose yourself in.

G. - Feel Good (Fabian Krooss Rework) [trndmsk]

The convergence of artistic minds births magical synergies that inspire the creation of wonders beyond the grasp of singular imaginations.

Tucumán & Rembrandt are sonic illustrations of that and we are grateful that @fabiankrooss joined forces with the @kon-faber duo to create this energetic EP as we celebrate SAISONS022.

Berlin-based Kon Faber & Fabian Krooss are masterful electronic musicians whose works are characterized by an artful blend of futurism and intricate, emotional soundscapes. Their songs are carefully crafted, pulsing with deep grooves and jazzy melodies that transport the listener to earthy, fantastical realms.

Each note is imbued with hope and a sense of wonder, creating a truly unique and profound listening experience. Whether you're lost in the dreamlike textures or caught up in the infectious rhythms of their groovy beats, Kon Faber and Fabian Krooss are sharing an EP that leaves us inspired and uplifted long after the final note has faded away from the dance floor.

We hope you enjoy this EP as much as we do!

Wondrous and intriguing, deep and oh so captivating. ‘I just wanted to Fly’, our newest release here on YION, will move you one way or the other. Spoken word flows freely over genre-border-defying synth stabs and a bass-heavy groove in this collaboration between well-established Berlin DJ and producer Fabian Krooss and label-co-head Yannek Maunz. And what a great track to get the cold limbs moving to.

Premiere: Fabian Krooss, Samaha - Staring - A Tribe Called Kotori

Fabian Krooss – Oh Darlin'

@fabiankrooss

Pre order: https://lnk.to/Fabian-Kross-Coquin-A-Tribe-Called-Kotori

Back to the fold with the first extract taken from his upcoming debut long-player on A Tribe Called Kotori, Fabian Krooss takes us to a delicate and transporting headspace with his twofold single, "Oh Darlin'". Infused with laid-back Chicagoan rhythms and feelgood Afro soulfulness, this opening brace of cuts from the German producer weaves solar-powered sensitivity with vaporous floor dynamics to hypnotic effect. An ode to impro and the free-flowing power of gut instinct, Krooss' newest offering translates thousands of places, feelings, moments and encounters into a buoyant melting-pot of debonair grooviness. "Producing has a meditative and balancing effect on me" Krooss says, and it definitely shines through in these, as we're taken on a seamless ride up serene moodscapes and ethereal club-ready apexes.  

A track that "captures my musical vision like no other" in Krooss' own admission, "Oh Darlin'" oozes a cross-pollinating elixir of hi-NRG house and folk-informed downtempo, gracefully threading its way in limbo between proper DJ-friendly functionality and loungey hedonism. Composed earlier this year and refined over the summer, "Oh Darlin'" stacks positive energies and beams them across the room like a vital call to channel the good vibes and move in the direction of love and unity. The second track, "Staring", recorded in collaboration with Samaha during his stay in Seattle in March 2023, engineers a nice mix of both artists' distinct melodic universes, while encapsulating memories from Krooss' journey in North America. A further balmy slice of atmospheric electronica tinged with hints of dream-pop and balearic house, "Staring" cruises at its own tranquil pace across colour-shifting horizons and gently jagged reliefs, ready to soak up full sound systems with its soothing, poetic funk. Lush as it gets.

Premiere: Fabian Krooss & Frida Darko - Phoenix [A Tribe Called Kotori]

Following a cascade drop of singles that kept everyone on their toes this past couple of months, time has come to unveil Fabian Krooss' eagerly awaited debut long-player, 'Colorfuel'. A portmanteau word for the vivid colourful spectrum that infuses Krooss' blends and that role of energetic provider it plays, 'Colorfuel' oozes a vibrant mix of dance floor-ready dynamism and effervescing curiosity, packed with surprises at every corner. Completed and finished in the Autumn of 2023, Krooss' debut album takes you on a smooth journey from start to finish, showing the variety in his productions, spanning from melancholic to uplifting, playful to funky and deep to chill. Starting with the soulful 'Oh Darlin', Krooss steers us on the path of laid-back Chicagoan rhythms and feelgood Afro soulfulness, weaving solar-powered sensitivity with vaporous floor dynamics to hypnotic effect. A further balmy slice of atmospheric electronica tinged with hints of dream-pop and balearic house, "Staring" cruises at its own tranquil pace across colour-shifting horizons and gently jagged reliefs. Pumping out an exquisite blend of sluggish house jack alongside archetypal Andalusian flavours and bass-driven manoeuvres, 'Phoenix' (feat. Frida Darko) ticks all the boxes of a festival season-ready chugger, whereas 'Move Your Booty' relies on a slightly more low-slung melody and further languid swing. All in bounce and playfulness, 'Your Soul' pulls out a bass-heavy chassis mounted with EBM synths' firepower, nostalgic riffs and orient-flavoured melodic flights, injecting a sense of spiritual elevation to its solid club-focussed engineering. Drawing in a more subdued palette of rhythmic elements, sprinkled with an eerie melody and stripped-back synth funk, 'Inside of Me' makes for a perfect transition track, with 'Manaki' going a further jagged route, as Krooss draws further deep into the Italo style, infusing his stellar arps and brittle piano chords with a thick FX gravy. Contorting itself at the junction of straightforward jack and a more prog-minded construction that seem tailored for stadiums, 'Elasticity' (with Atish) finds Krooss at his most precise and adroitly versatile. Beaming up unadulterated joy and sunrays across its six minute-ish ride, 'Coquin' bounces back and forth, ushering us into a jam-packed hacienda where the thick volutes of freshly lit havanas coalesce with the exhilarating scent of ron. A trippy ride down memory lane, 'Back To The Oldschool' conjures up images and components straight out the 90s, buzzing with that fun swash of hip-hop and tech-tinged hybrid. A delicate slab of balearic-informed deep house, 'Mtende' serves up a lascivious mishmash of coastal iridescence and sub-Saharan style polyrhythms. Topping off that broad sweep across house's manifold colour chart, 'Tied In Knots' (feat. Harry Charles) treats us to an elevating mix of Spanish guitars and 303-marinated acid bass, taking us from classicism up the modernist ladder in the blink of an eye.

‘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, Bucht der Träumer, Feel, scene highlight ADE or shows around the world in Oaxaca, Tulum, Zanzibar, New York, Miami, Washington, Seattle, Istanbul, Amsterdam and many more.
