Schoenflies & Klein is a project of Ben Schoenflies and David Klein.
Located in Salzburg, Austria they are producing House- & Technomusic since 2018.
„Dekadance“, their club night in Salzburg, established them as serious DJs in the Austrian electronic music scene.
With several appearances on radio shows like Austrian FM4’s „la boum deluxe“ and "Davidecks" or Portuguese Radio Oxigenio „sequence radio“ they also put their name on the international musical map. 
Their first release „Pierrot“ on Viennese Technolabel Schönbrunner Perlen in 2020 was a logical consequence of their creative output
and reflected their distinctive sound. The sampler „Vision“ of what „Pierrot“ was part of, entered several charts on Beatport.
Producing music with artists from around the world they are having several tunes in the pipeline which are ready to get unleashed. 
The fact, that their musical preferences range from Indie Dance, different styles of House all the way to Techno, manifests in a very unique combination of different genres in their own special way. This reflects the different approaches and show how versatile they can get in terms of production and djing. 
As „Pierrot“ was more on the progressive side, their next joint „Abyss“, for which they teamed up with singer Jon Darc, dives deeper in a melancholic, almost tragic mood and testifies their variability in terms of production, underlined by Darc’s poetic lyrics. The new release is a remix for Salzburg's Cloud-Rapper and "König der Alpen" Crack Ignaz called Oda Ned and already is making waves throughout social media with airplays on FM4.

Traveler. Soul person. Free analog and digital spirit. Berlin based. World engaged.

Originally known as ‘Spiel mit einem Schmuddelkind’ loosely translated means ‘play with a grubby kid’, the perfect statement for the Schmuddelkind experience. Dance floor warriors, party people and music enthusiast from around the world enjoy listening to the diverse range of sound that Schmuddelkind offers. He encourages the little grubby kid within to come out and play, let go and be free.
 
Originating from East Germany, Baltic Sea region, Schmuddelkind immersed himself in music and the techno scene from the age of fourteen. He first attended the infamous Melt Festival in 2002 where his passion for that bass line and groove that makes you move was truly ignited. Moving to Berlin in 2006 saw Schmuddelkind dive deep in to the underground and progressive world of techno where he was able to explore and develop his style and sound. 
 
Schmuddelkind has no preferred genre, always providing an intimate selection of tracks varying from down tempo, organic, melodic, tribal, deep house, techno and psy-tech. The extent of Schmuddelkind’s music collection extends right back to the beginning of his exposure to techno. You’ll be sure to hear some classics; mixing timeless tracks together with the newest sound available is a skill that he seamlessly delivers.
 
Inspired by Perfect Stranger, Eitan Reiter, James Monro, Miss Kitten, DJ Hell, Wolle XDP, Michael Mayer, Guy J, Marus Henriksson, Sebastian Mullaert, Asem Shama, Jossie Telch, Sven Dose, Sportbrigade Sparwasser, Matthew Jonson just to name a few.
 
Where Schmuddelkind comes from, the importance of music and the cultural significance that it holds represents the revolution of music, sound, art and expression. The respect that he gives his music and the understanding of the overall impact it has on others is a vital aspect to how he finely tunes his sets. Schmuddelkind is sensitive to mood, atmosphere and the overall energy of any dance floor. He shares part of his soul whenever he stands behind the DJ booth and carefully curates each musical journey specifically to the occasion. He endeavours to reconnect with his inner self while connecting with the people he plays to. He openly expresses what he feels and shares his emotions through the music he plays, creating a unique and unforgettable experience.
 
Some know him as Schnotti, others know him as Christian and when he plays it is none other than Schmuddelkind. A fine import to welcome to Australian shores, Schmuddelkind welcomes all to join him to get a little bit grubby. Und los!
