It doesn't really matter if you are one of those lucky fellows who burned his/her shoes in the clubs and festivals of the eighties and the nineties or your experience only dates back the two-thousands. Whatever your know-how is, recognizing an awesome oldies trance meex is always easy as pie. Our 42nd instalment by Vacanza's KRUE is one of those, it comes from Leipzig, Germany and it's all about smiling faces and stomping feet.

I'm more than happy to announce my very first edit! Since almost a decade I wanted to get into producing, kept procrastinating instead and never finished a project. Finally I've got the confidence to share some music with you. More stuff will be released soon. 

This one is especially dedicated to my brother, who's an inspiration and helps me getting through difficult times. Love you bro <3

KRUE‘s sound was influenced by his childhood, listening music in the backseat of a car on long distance night drives and collecting Trance or Techno sampler at the latter stage of his youth. He once went to a LoveParade in Berlin and immediately fell in love with the idea of mixing music in front of a passionate crowd. 

After moving to Leipzig he developed his sound over the years on smaller venues and became an integral part of the Vacanza crew. Wether it’s driving Melodic Techno, Trance or Eurodance you can expect it all with one goal only: smiling faces and stomping feet!

He once went to a LoveParade in Berlin and immediately fell in love with the idea of mixing music in front of a passionate crowd.

Next up, we welcome Leipzig's KRUE. His sound was influenced by his childhood, listening to music in the backseat of a car on long distance night drives and collecting trance or techno samplers in his later youth. He once went to a LoveParade in Berlin and immediately fell in love with the idea of mixing music in front of a hyped crowd. 

After moving to Leipzig he developed his sound over the years at smaller venues and became an integral part of the @vacanzaev crew. Whether it’s driving melodic techno, trance or eurodance, you can just expect one thing: smiling faces and stomping feet!

Thanks @kruevacanza

Starting from house parties and smaller raves in the woods to regularly playing venues such as Elipamanoke, Kulturlounge, Mjut or Global Space Odyssey (Leipzig), Station Endlos (Halle) and Tarmac Festival he recently started producing as well and released his first tracks. KRUE is an integral part of the Vacanza Crew from Leipzig and delivers energetic and melodic Trance and Techno.

Rapid Eye - Circa Forever (KRUE EDIT)

Here's to you my recording from Vacanza x Apostrophé @ Institut fuer Zukunft, Leipzig (05102024). Considering the location will be closed at the end of the year and it's been an integral part of my life since it's opening in 2014, this was a very emotional turnout at Trakt I. Therefor I've selected some harder trance and techno tracks. I've enjoyed every minute of it and thank you for everybody who came along, danced their feet off and made this night unforgettable! Very humbled with all the lovely and kind words after my set. See you soon <3

SACHSENTRANCE x MAYDAY @ exDUQO Leipzig

Here's to you my recording from this year's Hochebene stage at the infamous MediMeisterschaften, Flugplatz Obermehler. Thank you Til for the opportunity and shoutout to the whole Hochebene crew for the hospitality and their lovely artist care, the fantastic sound system and detailing all around. 

It's been a hot and sunny day, though I've enjoyed every minute of it. And obviously thank you to everybody who came along and danced their feet off, especially for the spontaneous dancing class taken on the floor while Meet Her At The Loveparade was playing.

See you soon ❤️

KRUE - RAVE FOR PEACE SOMMERFEST 2025

Well, that escalated quickly. 🌅🔥

What was supposed to be a 2-hour closing set at Treibsand-Freiland Festival spontaneously turned into more than 5 hours of pure magic and the longest set I've ever played. Classics, all-time favorites, endless energy… and a sunrise that I’ll never forget. The vibe was absolutely insane – thank you to everyone who stayed, danced their feet off, and shared that moment with me. ❤️

Big love to the whole crew for the warm hospitality, their artist care, and for making all of this possible. I'm forever thankful. My legs are still dead, but my heart is full of love.

See you soon! ❤️🔥

5 HOUR CLOSING MADNESS @ TREIBSAND FREILAND

I was invited by @orgia3000 to play the Friday morning closing at their stage Zustressic Park at this years Tarmac Festival and this is how it turned out. Much love and thanks to everyone who found their way to the floor after the rain-soaked night, and to everyone who kept dancing tirelessly. Shoutout to the lovely Artistcare team and for even letting me play a little encore :)

Enjoy listening, and see you soon. ❤️
