Proud to present the recording of legend I-F who we had the pleasure to host at Krake Festival's 2022 edition. The man from The Hague set the dancefloor of Berlin's OXI on fire for 3h and now you can do the same to your headphones, earbuds or any audio system you like to please with this unique selection of banging Disco, Electro, Techno and House tunes.

Michel Amato's contribution to electronic music can barely be overstated. As The Hacker, and under different aliases, he has inspired generations of dance music fans and artists. Since his first release in 1996, Amato had a Techno phase, dipped into EBM, sci-fi tinged Electro and New Wave, but is perhaps most famous as a founding father of Electroclash.

We are have been delighted by an exceptional DJ performance of the maestro at our 2023 edition of Krake Festival and we are glad to be allowed to share the recording of the show with you.

KrakeCast 052: The Hacker (Live at Krake Festival 2023)

We are releasing a line of recordings from our last festival edition, starting with this recording of Jerome Hill. 
Jerome Hill has been related to Killekill and Krake Festival for quite some time now, so it was high time to finally record one of his sets. For Krake Festival 2024 he took over an empty floor and turned it into a sweaty pit with humidity dripping from the ceiling. We are proud to present such a belter of a set to you. Enjoy!

Bio:
As the popularity of dance music soars, and the contemporary environment becomes saturated with DJs, the roots of the artform can become somewhat lost. In Jerome Hill, we have an artist who represents DJing in its most vivid, creative and versatile form.

Owner of a seemingly endless library of music Jerome began DJing in 1990, honing his craft on London’s illegal warehouse party scene of the mid nineties and today juggling a hectic gig schedule where he strives to find, as FACT magazine described it “precisely how much funk is possible for raw and uncompromising electronics to have” utilising a deep love of the music and his infamous ‘hands on’ scratching and mixing skills that have made him a crowd favourite all over the world.

The sheer momentum and creativity of Jerome’s sets coupled with his timing in dropping unexpected gems in a context created on the fly never fails to throw up impromptu moments that are symbolic of the true rave spirit

Sole proprietor of the labels Don’t (est. 2000), Super Rhythm Trax, Bleeper, Fat Hop and Hornsey Hardcore, Jerome also runs the fiercely underground Don’t club night in London, now entering it’s 7th year as well as presenting a long running weekly radio show ‘The Roots Of Rave’ on London’s Kool FM.

In Jerome there is an unquenchable enthusiasm that ignites an endless supply of possibilities; with no one sequence sounding the same, and an infinite love for dance music that shows no signs of diminishing. It’s ‘proper’ DJing in its no-mucking-about nature. An explosion of energy that is capable of lighting up any dancefloor in the world.

“If there’s one man who embodies rave spirit in modern dance music it’s Jerome Hill” – FACT Mag

“I’ve said this a lot before, and that’s that Jerome’s DJing is so good that it has often overshadowed his own music-making. The same goes with his labels, you might tend to overlook Jerome’s productions as you try to keep up with all the other incredible music he’s putting out. But let’s get real, Jerome is one of the best producers around too” – Sunil Sharpe

Koma Kurt, 33 yo 
[Bloody Ear Crew]

Mannheim, Germany

Florian K., known in the world of electronic music as Koma Kurt, is an artist with a deep and enduring passion for the transformative power of sound. His journey began at the tender age of 14 when he fell under the captivating spell of breakbeats, jungle, and drum and bass. Since then, he has never looked back.

Koma Kurt’s music is a psychedelic fusion of techno, electro, IDM, braindance, drill and bass, and breakcore—a blend designed to take his audience on a sensory journey through space and time. His setup, defined by two Technics 1210 turntables he acquired at 15, is a clear commitment to vinyl culture and the authentic art of DJing.

Inspired by the mystical aura of the Stammheim sound, the rebellious energy of the No Future & Brighton Techno movement, and the innovative sounds of artists like Aphex Twin, Luke Vibert, and Cristian Vogel, Koma Kurt has carved out a unique style that redefines the boundaries of electronic music.

With 17 years of rave experience, Koma Kurt brings a maturity and depth to his performances that are unparalleled. His sets are constructed like epic narratives, with a clear beginning, climax, and end, maintaining the tension and energy on the dance floor. His music is consistently psychedelic, hypnotic, quirky, and emotional, with an emphasis on the perfect track selection at the crucial moment.

Rephlex Records, Planet-Mu, Warp Records, and many others have played a decisive role in his musical development, and today Koma Kurt is not just a guardian of the underground culture but also an ambassador for the deep, psychedelic, and boundary-pushing sounds that are at the heart of the scene.

“My music means everything to me; it’s a part of my identity. I fight to preserve the underground and to keep electronic music from becoming overly commercialized. For those who know.” – Koma Kurt
