“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!!"

Biography:
Ben Nolan – born in 1981 in the south of Baden-Württemberg – was awakened by the pulse of electronic music. Even in his early youth, he discovered the boundless power emanating from sounds and rhythms. At the age of 13, driven by an unrelenting passion, he invested in his first record player and mixer – a moment that would change his world forever.

From that point on, every free moment became a journey through soundscapes. He immersed himself in the world of vinyl for hours, tirelessly searching record stores for the latest revolutionary sounds, and over the years, built an impressive collection. This collection became the foundation of his craft, which he perfected with meticulous dedication and an intuitive feel for the perfect moment.

With an unwavering determination to captivate his audience, Ben developed a unique style. Local clubs quickly took notice, and his sets, which consistently transcended the trends of the scene, earned him a legendary reputation. It wasn’t long before the big stages called: festivals with thousands of guests, ecstatic nights, and unforgettable moments shaped by Ben’s distinctive sound.

His journey took him around the globe, but his musical vision remained clear: Tech-House, Minimal, and Techno, interpreted with a depth and authenticity that is unmatched. His sets are more than just music; they are experiences – meticulously curated and embraced by a constantly growing fanbase, captivated by his exceptional talent.

The desire to shape the scene with his own productions grew stronger with every passing year. Eventually, Ben invested in his own professional studio, enabling him to express his emotional style not only live but also through his productions. Today, this studio is where new sets are crafted and unique tracks are created, reflecting the essence of his years of experience.

“In my eyes, music is a universal platform that unites people – regardless of the foundation on which it is built.”

Ben Nolan – an artist who honors the past, shapes the present, and defines the future of electronic music.

TIEFDRUCK - Techno in Reinform. Salzburg, Austria. #wewantidark
Techno / Minimal Techno / Dark Techno / PsyTechno / Deep Techno / Progressive Techno

Wenn die pure Tiefe des Klanges den Körper zur Bewegung drängt. Wenn der Geist eins wird mit dem Spektrum aus Frequenzen und Tönen. Wenn Monotonie durchbrochen und wieder fortgesetzt wird. Wenn sich Raum und Zeit verlieren - dann ist der Druck erreicht, den wir meinen. Der TIEFDRUCK.

TIEFDRUCK will der Subkultur des Techno eine Heimat geben. Von Salzburg aus in die ganze Welt. Die Artists sind handverlesen, die Locations bekommen eine besondere Athmosphäre verpasst. Techno in Reinform, der unter die Haut geht. Minimalistisch, treibend, düster, melodisch, flächig, verspielt, laut, tief, bisweilen dreckig.
Folge uns, denn nur gemeinsam bewegt sich etwas.

#WEWANTITDARK

TIEFDRUCK is providing a home for the subculture of Techno. Based in Salzburg, Austria we're spreading our idea around the globe. Artists are handpicked, locations get a very special atmosphere. Techno in it's purest form going directly under the skin. Minimalistic, driving, gloomy, melodic, playful, loud, deep and sometimes dirty. Follow us, together we can move mountains.
