When I was given the opportunity to interview Felix Kr\u00f6cher<\/a>, the first sound that came to my mind was that of \u201cRequiem For A Dream\u201d in its schranz version, an edit that placed the German at the epicentre of the rave scene more than a decade ago. That was a very different rave scene to the current one. The more abrupt and sharp styles dominated the picture. Genres such as hard-techno, hardtek, the so-called \u2018tekno written with a k\u2019 and the aforementioned schranz ruled with authority. However, even then, Felix Kr\u00f6cher opted for diversity. His production studio produced old-school electro pieces, low-intensity techno approaches and everything in between. \u201cI play the music I feel, not putting music too much into genres,\u201d he admits. Felix Kr\u00f6cher is celebrating 20 years of artistic career in this 2020. It is not the best of celebrations, but Felix is calm and happy, taking time to be with his daughter and his garden: \u201cStuff to keep me calm during the day.\u201d To celebrate these two decades of music, the techno legend is preparing a 20-track album of which we know nothing… and of which he dares to tell us very little for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s talk about Felix Kr\u00f6cher\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uhm\u2026 I\u2019d introduce myself as a kind and humble human being, I guess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

And as an artist?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Playing the music that I feel, not putting music too much into genres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Your name has been in my iTunes library since I started to listen to electronic music more than 10 years ago, and I have tunes from you catalogued as low techno, electro, hard-techno\u2026 even schranz. Would you use the same words to define all the music that built your career until today?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Definitely!! There are different sources of musical influences that defined me as an artist, and also as a human being, so yes, definitely true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
