shit happens when you party naked!

Stefan was born in 1983 and started music production at the age of 16 with a Roland MC-303, Yamaha QY-70 and a few years later a couple korg electribes. In the beginning of 2007 he founded his own label 31337 Records along with Philip Rauh and Sebastian Koch. Their first release where 0x7f provided 2 tracks was a huge success, followed by his first ep on 31337 - out of the blue, a whole album in 2008 and another EP in 2012 with remixes by Akiko Kiyama, Ditch and Sil from the Easy Changes duo.

He is also part of the 8Bit Operators, an artist collective focusing on retro computer music, also known as chiptunes or 8bit. In 2007 they released a Kraftwerk cover Vinyl on New Yorks finest label Astralwerks.

"Stefan Klaas also known as 0x7f doesn’t  follow any standards or trends and has a distinct feel for deep melodic tunes with lots of  clicks and field recordings wrapped into complex minimalistic sound structures. " -- nightclubber.ro (2013)

"his current style is a mix between subtle minimal techno and deep melodic tracks. his talent to twist own field recordings into choppy rhythms or spheric crackling textures, will surely be enjoyed by everyone who loves minimal and glitch." -- kc. (2008)

Bio:
With the focus on deep electronic music two sound addicted brothers established the project Echoton in 2007. Initially playing deepest house around Berlin in the early 3rd millennium, the fascination for music production evoked and led to a deeper cosmos of electronic music. The passion of collecting vinyl turned into a sweet sickness in collecting hardware and software instruments. 

Heading towards a more elaborate-sounding techno/house direction, Echoton today is mainly known for their organic and detailed vibe somewhere in between crunchy minimal, deep techno and experimental electroacoustic music. Their search for the balance between established methods and pleasant unexpected suprises keeps them rolling. 

In addition to their studio and label work they definitely love to perform, either as a DJ team or live act. This is an exchange of two brothers who understand each other implicitly and complement one another blindly.


When you focus your attention on your ears, it sharpens the dual awareness of listening and hearing, allowing you to sense the space around you as a sonic presence. Sound becomes an improvised interaction, unfolding moment by moment, shaped by your attention and surroundings.

Through deep listening, sound transforms into art an ephemeral, ever changing experience. It’s not something we see, but something we engage with, feeling its shifts and textures as it invites us into a dynamic, creative dialogue with the world.
