Koma Kurt, 33 yo 
[Bloody Ear Crew]

Mannheim, Germany

Florian K., known in the world of electronic music as Koma Kurt, is an artist with a deep and enduring passion for the transformative power of sound. His journey began at the tender age of 14 when he fell under the captivating spell of breakbeats, jungle, and drum and bass. Since then, he has never looked back.

Koma Kurt’s music is a psychedelic fusion of techno, electro, IDM, braindance, drill and bass, and breakcore—a blend designed to take his audience on a sensory journey through space and time. His setup, defined by two Technics 1210 turntables he acquired at 15, is a clear commitment to vinyl culture and the authentic art of DJing.

Inspired by the mystical aura of the Stammheim sound, the rebellious energy of the No Future & Brighton Techno movement, and the innovative sounds of artists like Aphex Twin, Luke Vibert, and Cristian Vogel, Koma Kurt has carved out a unique style that redefines the boundaries of electronic music.

With 17 years of rave experience, Koma Kurt brings a maturity and depth to his performances that are unparalleled. His sets are constructed like epic narratives, with a clear beginning, climax, and end, maintaining the tension and energy on the dance floor. His music is consistently psychedelic, hypnotic, quirky, and emotional, with an emphasis on the perfect track selection at the crucial moment.

Rephlex Records, Planet-Mu, Warp Records, and many others have played a decisive role in his musical development, and today Koma Kurt is not just a guardian of the underground culture but also an ambassador for the deep, psychedelic, and boundary-pushing sounds that are at the heart of the scene.

“My music means everything to me; it’s a part of my identity. I fight to preserve the underground and to keep electronic music from becoming overly commercialized. For those who know.” – Koma Kurt
