“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!!"

Quality will find its way.

Schon als Teenager machte er sich auf, um die einzigartigen Vibes der Karibikinsel Jamaika aufzusaugen.
Er hat Jamaika und die Kultur mit großem Respekt aufgenommen und den direkten Draht zu den Menschen dort gesucht – genau das macht diesen Künstler aus. Nach über 1000 Konzerten rund um den Globus ist es immer diese verbindende Energie, die ihn als Künstler ausmacht – der direkte Draht zu den Menschen. Spätestens seit seiner Hitsingle „Intoxication“, die in der Karibik den Sommer 2004 musikalisch geprägt hatte, gehört er zur absoluten Top Riege der internationalen Reggae Gemeinschaft und Festivallandschaft.
In über 25 Jahren entstanden dabei über 100 Kollaborationen mit Top Stars wie: Shaggy, Sean Paul, Marcia Griffiths, Tanya Stephens, Ky-Mani Marley, Christopher Martin, um nur einige Jamaikaner aufzuzählen. Auch in den USA hat Gentleman mit einigen Stars zusammengearbeitet: Aloe Blacc, Pink, Destiny´s Child, SOJA, Michael Franti uvam.
Selbst in unseren Breitengraden ist die Liste lang und bekannt: Freundeskreis, Udo Lindenberg, Die Toten Hosen, Michael Patrick Kelly, Beginner uvam.
Gentleman veröffentlichte über 12 Alben mit 4 Gold- und einer Platinauszeichnung. Darunter mittlerweile Genre-Klassiker wie „Journey to Jah“, „Confidence“ oder das großartige „MTV Unplugged“. 
Zusammenfassend kann man dem Reggae Connaisseur und Autor Ulli Güldner nur zustimmen, in dem er Gentleman als „bis heute ersten & einzigen Reggae-A-List-Ambassador dieses Landes“ tituliert.
