Biografía
- In search of a perfect loop.… were you madly in love into something and you immediately knew it’s going to last forever? “How long is forever? Sometimes just one second.” Hailing from the sleepy town of Logatec, Slovenia, this is exactly what happened to Christian in the summer of 2008, while hanging at some drum and bass party, with no idea he is about to enter an unexplored pathway. The pathway is not so unexplored anymore. In 2013, Christian surprised the Slovenian music scene with his original approach to dark ambient music, while he was performing on the Radio Študent’s Club Marathon tour. Since then, he proved his skills and innovation as a participant at the Red Bull Music Academy, performing on different festival stages (like Sónar in Barcelona, Dimensions in Pula, EMAF in Tokyo), as well as in various clubs from Belgrade to London, from Warsaw to Venice . He is currently exploring more electro, EBM, wave and similar electronic music derivatives, forming a strong partnership with Le Chocolat Noir and marking their debut vinyl + digital release, on a freshly established KRI record label, from Ljubljana, with Mannequin Records boss Alessandro Adriani on the remix duty. Adding a new vinyl release in the meantime- this time on the mighty Mechatronica from Berlin. With more exciting news just around the corner. But on the other hand, Christian is also keeping an eye on house, techno music, while being no stranger to industrial or experimental sounds, making appearances on the legendary R&S records, Fabric 90 Mix compilation, Meda Fury, his own Greyhound Days (now defunct), Dimensions Recordings, and most recently an album for Natural Sciences with his alter ego, Alleged Witches. A project based for dictating the dance floor, with a tribal vibe drum workout, industrial sounds and also luring you into its deep ritualistic feel. In the meantime, he's also curating Flash Forward radio show, on the oldest student radio in Europe, Radio Študent from Ljubljana.̸Black Dot– Structure Without Tomorrow (Mechatronica) Christian Kroupa x LCN – Worlds Connect EP (KRI records) Christian Kroupa – A Little Flower (Fruit Merchant) Christian Kroupa – A Dangerous Game (Farbwechsel) Various – Trust The Rust vol.1 (KRI records) Various – Da Capo Al Coda (GRID) Various – Victim Of The System (Twin System)
