Andreas Krämer appreciation thread.

Don't know how many of you know about Andreas Krämer & Thomas Pogadl aka. Russenmafia, Phuture Punk, Aquaplex, Schwarze Puppen, Solid Sleep, Blade Attack, Three Kings, S.O.D, Junk Project etc etc etc

Though he/they are eventually starting to get some recognition, I strongly feel they are under-appreciated.

The hundreds of productions they're behind are so tightly produced, featuring a minimalistic and driving trance sound that is totally unique. Besides they've had a bucketload of chart busters and are represented on practically every important german/swiss trance compilation release.

It might be the endless number of pseudonyms or Andreas Krämer's main focus on techno that hasn't yet granted him a reputation like Scot Project.

To me he definitely matches Scot's top notch productions.

I know alot of you are familiar with production and for those of you who know this guys sound, it takes alot of skill, creating such a phat expression of such a minimal soundscape. Especially when dealing with trance. Apart from inventing a few of the most dancefloor efficient club/hardtrance basslines in history, he has an amazing way of placing percussion in his tracks. Everything is just so precisely laid out.

I sure hope he will get the credit he deserves. After all he's behind a ton of projects on the huge harder edge trademark labels, such as Overdose/Pulse or the Drizzly Network.

Would love to hear some response to this.

This guy's a genious.

Well Precisely right now I'm listening an Andreas Krämer set.
But I thought this guy only produced techno

Yeah that's obviously what he prefers to spin and put his name on. Produces world class hardtrance/clubtrance under his pseudonyms.

Good one, his techno is proper bangin too.

I think Chem said it all really. One of hard trance/techno's hardest working and most talented producers. Some of my personal favs:

Junk Project - Green Series (A1)
Russenmafia - Waves To Die (S.O.D. Mix)
Thomas Rubin - Cold Night (Krämer & Pogadl/Russenmafia Mixes)
Krämer & Pogadl - So Wie Es Immer War/ Lecker Mädche' EP
Alex Whitcombe & Big C - Ice Rain (Solid Sleep Remix)
