As a producer, musician, DJ and serial collaborator, Chris Schwarzwälders distinctive style of deep, restrained house is hard to pin down, but you’ll always know it’s him when you hear it. 

Born in Frankfurt am Main in the 80s, he started playing hiphop in the 90s. While making beats on his MPC2000, he dropped into Offenbach’s Robert Johnson club and fell in love with techno. 

In 2009, Chris moved to Berlin and started DJing at KaterHolzig, where he found a group of people who thought about music in the same way he did. In contrast to the trends of the late 00s, the sounds being made from this little paradise on Berlin’s river Spree were slower, softer, and more soulful than a lot of what was being played in clubs at the time. 

It was here that Chris began to cement his reputation as both a solo producer and collaborator, who was capable of bringing his trademark sounds to a whole number of side-projects - many of which have gone on to play to crowds around the globe. He joined the Feathered Sun collective in 2013, together with a group of friends including Acid Pauli, Nu, Jo.Ke and Raz O’Hara. Dreamy, groovy and often improvised, the collective represented a special kind of musical freedom in which a group of producers came together to create something new in a singular, live moment. 

At the same time, Chris’ friend Mira was making moves of her own, and they started to play back-to-back sets, soundtracking the legendary Monday mornings of KaterHolzig, and now, Kater Blau. The two, who are both residents at Kater Blau, have now been playing together internationally for almost a decade, and have formed a common musical understanding that translates throughout every one of their sets - deep, clubby and melancholic. This partnership has also carried on into the studio, where they have collaborated on numerous hits. 

His most light-hearted side comes out in collaboration with Iannis Ritter, where the two musicians take on a weirder, more melodic & electro approach than Chris’ other proejcts. 

If you were to ask him, Chris would describe himself as reserved, logical, rational, melancholic and humorous. Which is why you’d never hear him telling you about the hundreds of nightclubs and festivals he’s played around the globe, or the number of hits he’s had with his productions. If you’re lucky though, Chris might tell you about his favourite synthesizers, and get lost in a conversation all about electronics and sound. Which is exactly where Chris wants to be - lost in electronics and sound.

Thank you and f you to the DJs that introduced me to the unnamed artists that captured my imagination in the dark warehouse parties of the 90's. 30+ years of techno does a number on you.

If we think of those magical moments out on the dance floor, what likely comes to mind is that moment when the DJ and the crowd find each other in a rare kind of symbiotic balance of give and take. If you see this happening between two DJs it becomes obvious that two of a kind have found one another.
Those who love this kind of confluence will adore watching Mira and Chris Schwarzwalder doing
what they do best; playing back to back.
Having influenced the East‐German techno scene throughout the last twenty years, Mira established her musical home in Berlin’s legendary Bar25. There, she shaped her very own unique sound that can be considered as a story of these endless nights full of intensity.
Bar25 was also the place for her to meet DJ and producer Chris Schwarzwalder. Moving from his Hip Hop­‐roots towards electronic music, it was not by accident that Chris followed the beat of time to Berlin.
Anyone who has experienced their endless sets already understand why Berliners speak of the particular sound being created by both of them.
A soulful, mesmerizing sound that you will sense sinking under your skin and leaving you with a feeling of deep warm­‐heartedness.
What happens is the perfect chemistry of classic mixing skills along with ingenious live productions that really deserve to be called a moving experience.
All of their styles and sounds can, not only be discovered live behind the decks, but also on prosperous vinyl and digital releases.

PolyGroovers got started by a young couple in 2001, Konstantin Gredeskoul & Telene Johnston, who got married shortly thereafter. Konstantin was the brains behind compositions, lyrics, and song arrangements, while Telene contributed her beautiful voice on many of the vocal tracks.

As time went on, Konstantin and Telene parted ways. Konstantin remained as the solo creative force behind it, but took a long break after releasing their second album "Tips and Tricks". 

PolyGroovers are known for bringing groovy downtempo, filled with lush harmonies and unexpected polyrhythms, shaken by the funky bass lines and progressively intricate melodies.

PolyGroovers released a total of two albums, "Moods for Taking Out" (2006) and "Trips and Ticks" (2009), that are available on iTunes, Spotify, CDBaby, and many other online outlets. 

Some of the new materal is available for free here on SoundCloud.

PolyGroovers would like to thank those who supported, inspired, taught, and made this project possible. The list of influencers is nowhere near complete, but it includes Pyramind San Francisco, Blue Bear Music SF, FnF (Friends & Family), Ethan Miller (DJ Ethan), Decadent Oasis, Tracy Wadley (DJs as stickybeats), Cloudfactory, Jeff Cross (Apple), Tony Rose (Technostate), Captain Tinrib (Jon Bell, UK), Fil Jach (DJ Kem), Rhythm Society, Space Cowboys, Burning Man.
