Klangphonics are a trio that produce and perform live electronic music. By using a combination of electronic elements and acoustic instruments, they bridge the gap between producer and live band. 

​This results in a very natural, organic sound, whilst still retaining the energy associated with deep house and melodic techno.

This way they established themselves as DJs playing over the years several genres of electronic music. Their style is best described as melodic techno, easy to dance to and always with positive energy. As the owners of their own club in southern Germany, they first came into contact with Boris Brejcha, Ann Clue and their label Fckng Serious in 2016 and have been friends and partners since then. Now they produce their own music for Fckng Serious and touring alongside Boris, Ann Clue, Moritz Hofbauer & Deniz Bul.

Alexi Kutuzov aka I.F.U. is not a stranger to eastern and central european club scene. He started his professional DJ and promoter career back in 1991 in his hometown Minsk in Belarus, when electronic dance music culture didn't exist at all there. Pioneering electronic music sound with his partners in crime, Alexi dropped lots of parties, mainly in acid house and techno styles. Organizing numerous promo groups and clubs in Minsk, I.F.U. touched his hands on pretty much every underground music style he thought would be interesting for local clubbers, from downtempo electronica, through to electro to hardcore drum'n'bass. 
Live project Vacuumable was born in 1996, which successfully released a couple of albums of acidy techno, breaks and d''n'b tunes for the next 2-3 years. Vacuumable played gigs everywhere around Belarus as well as in Germany and Holland.
 With his legendary hard drum'n'bass sets I.F.U. played a lot in Berlin ( Maria, im Eimer, Acud, etc.), tours in Poland and even world famous Effenaar club in Eindhoven. 2001 year was a changing year for I.F.U. He won "Best Breakbeat DJ" award in Minsk in association with Moscow magazine Ptuch, played "Vostochniy Udar" festival in St.Petersburgh in front of 3000 people, then moved to London, which became his second home till present time. 
In London Alexi started to run his Kautchuk night, organizing regular parties around Hoxton and Shoreditch clubs and dj bars. The same time he started to work in booking business, helping clubs and festivals in Eastern Europe to get international artists, DJ's and live bands on their dancefloors. Promoters in Moscow, St.Petersburgh, Ukraine, Belarus, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia where happy to work with I.F.U. ( and still do) as a booking agent and, of course, as a DJ too for their club events and festivals. Later Alexi becomes representative of Renaissance and Ministry of Sound brands, organizing regular events in Belarus and Ukraine for them. 
2005 - 2009 I.F.U. is based mainly in Minsk and St.Petersburgh, not forgetting London of course. It gives him opportunity to win "DJ number 1 in Belarus" in interactive voting poll BestDJ.by 3 (!) years in a row ( 2005-2007) playing just underground music. Also as a DJ, Alexi slowly moves out from breakbeat and d'n'b territories being fed up with noise and broken rhythms. When the "minimal" wave comes from Berlin, I.F.U. goes back to his techno and house roots, starting to discover more and more interesting music in that styles and dedicating himself to this sound till now on. Strong reputation of a quality vinyl international DJ gives I.F.U. more and more opportunities, warming up big names artists incl. Thomas Schumacher in legendary The End club in London, Green Velvet in Ministry of Sound as well as Tiefschwarz and M.A.N.D.Y. at the first Global Gathering Belarus festival in 2008. Also not forgetting regular gigs in Russia, Ukraine, Baltics, Poland and Holland. 
In 2009 Alexi moves back to London again, starting to study Audio Engineering course, then Music Business course in SAE Institute London. He relaunches Kautchuk nights with residencies in The Russian bar, Gramophone, Nomad club and other underground venues of east London, inviting regular guest artists, incl Yapacc, Jacek Sienkiewicz, etc. 
Summer 2011 was remarkable for I.F.U. He celebrated 20 years of professional DJ career with some gigs in his hometown Minsk, Riga, Berlin and of course Kautchuk in London. His love of different kinds of music is clearly recognized in his eclectic, though groovy and deep techno and tech house sets, being it played on big dancefloors or in small bars and radio stations.
