“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!!"

Anfang 2011 entstand das Label Tekk Freakz, das bis zum heutigen Tag schon viele Anhänger gefunden hat.

Hinter dem Namen Tekk Freakz stehen zahlreiche Acts die der Musik eine andere Bedeutung geben.
Aus Kreativität werden Töne-aus Töne Emotionen, denn aus Emotionen leben wir!

Getreu dem Motto...

Radu, a musician from Saarland, got infected by the electronic music scene at the end of the 1990s during the "Golden Age" of Techno. His passion ignited when he visited the Mixery Castle, and he decided to acquire turntables to make music himself. His sound was inspired by the trance and techno scene of Saarland, particularly places like Kufa Saarbrücken or Flash in St. Wendel.

Radu is known for his legendary Classic Vinyl Sets, which still captivate the masses today. Over the years, his sound evolved into something more driving and harder, Hardtechno, influenced by countless club visits, including Palazzo, U60311, and other well-known techno clubs and festivals.

As Radu made a name for himself in the Saarland scene, his career began to steadily rise in 2008, and he started performing outside of Saarland as well. A pivotal experience was his participation in Psytekk events in Trier, where he met artists like Jan Fleck and the United Schranz Bord, soon becoming part of the USB Hardtechno Family.

When the Hardtechno sound became more prevalent again in 2020, Radu returned to his roots, dusted off his vinyl, and performed at the prestigious Mauerpfeiffer in Saarbrücken. This led to new opportunities, including the founding of Gravity X with none other than Chris van Neu. Radu remains an integral part of the techno scene, both in Saarland and beyond, and his influence on the local scene and beyond is undeniable.
