“Being down-to earth” the art of success.
 Benjamin D. aka Crotekk clearly shows this in different ways daily. Up-most is his love of music and his drive to keep the world’s best ‘techno scene ‘of music alive.
The goals he set for himself, he has already exceeded. He is the guy everyone recognises and loves not only because of his sound but also for his balanced demeanour.
 Crotekk first visits to the Techno parties were back in 2008, at the age of 15. He realised early on that commercial ‘Mainstream-House’ did not excite him. “The first club I frequently went to was the ‘Glashaus Centre’ in Worbis. The only reason for that was the ‘Bunkerfloor’ ”, where his idol An-Dreh played Hardtechno. Crotekk credits his idol for his own love and passion for fast, hard and brute forced Techno. It took Crotekk 2 years to progress his music before he finally scored a gig at the ‘Exit Club’ in Heiligenstadt where he was to introduce his sound for the first time. 
The crowd was thrilled and Crotekk went onwards and upwards from there on in. His popularity grew without a limit in sight. Agents and Clubs from everywhere started to fall over each other to get him to perform at their venues.
Wanja from Tekk Freakz recognised Crotekk’s talent signed him. From here on in Crotekk was a celebrated name in the East of Germany.
In 2013 Crotekk met the Acid Wars Crew from Nordrhein-Westfalen. The crew loved his music and made his dream come true. A Festival Gig at Ruhr in Love and Nature One.
Overnight Crotekk became the household name for ‘Hardtechno’. His fan base kept groing and at the end of 2015 the dream of a solo release was finally coming true.
Spring 2016 this was made available online and his high anticipated remix album is expected to be released in Summer 2016.
 Crotekk- more than just noise!!"

Rich Vom Dorf, a strange foreign artist name, isnt it? But its meaning is easily explained when you
know that the guy behind the project is called Richard and "vom Dorf" means "from the village" in
german language. Born in the eighties on the countryside he discovered electronic music in the early nineties and what has begun as a passion led into a full time job as dj, producer, promoter and owner of the label "tächno". The style of his productions and sets varys from deep emotional melodic progressive house, happy techhouse and even indie dance. This maybe is a wide range of sound but all this music has one thing in common - its made to please your heart and full of emotions.

Leipzig and its musicians – they are quite something. The city’s music history includes Johann Sebastian Bach, Matthias Tanzmann and Thomas Brachmann. However, Brachmann is probably rather known under his acronym TOM B. Although TOM B. reads “tomb”, “grave” in the English language, in the context of music, it stands for his DJ sets and productions fully enjoying live. 
People say that Leipzig is the new Berlin, especially when it comes to clubbing and music. Paul Kalkbrenner was born here, however, he moved to the capital, later. What used to be dark and sooty due to the established industry and coal mining is now surrounded by newly created see landscapes, thriving with new life. Leipzig has come to be known as “Hypzig”. TOM B., born in 1984 on the southern outskirts of the trade-fair city, has experienced that amazing change first-hand, has even given it is own face. He started to perform as a DJ in 1999. In 2001 he had his first gig in the legendary Distillery club that is Germany’s oldest House & Techno Club.

Up until the year 2005 he was a Distillery resident, he was the first five years of the millennium at home, here. Since 2009 the Skyclub is his home base, unless he has gigs in Amsterdam, Budapest, Berlin, Hamburg or Munich. Additionally, TOM B. has been a member of Dusted Decks right of its outset, which counts 9 years by now. His sound is characterized by House, Deephouse and Tech House. Remixes for David K. and Nicolas Hannig, M-22 and Anton Ishutin are what he is known for.

TOM B. will take part in the “About:Berlin” Compilation by Universal Music and present “Drive without Engine”. His productions are released on Damm und Klang Gymnastik, Fukai, Music/Great Stuff and Well Done! together with remixes by Lexer, Teenage Mutants and Rich vom Dorf or by
Ron Flatter, Nico Pusch and Thomas Lizzara.

Even if the year 1984 – which marks the birth of TOM B. – predicts a rather dark vision in the eyes of George Orwell in 1949 – we have to say that looking back at 1984 now, in 2015, that year must have been an excellent one! Music by and from Leipzig is en vogue – and we rightly owe that to Tom B., too!

Tächno was founded in 2014 and is based in Hamburg. We can look back on a big release catalogue with a lot of chart positions and we had countless wild labelpartys where liters of sweat, tons of endorphins and even tears of happyness where flowing.
