This is the place for all the unreleased music I've been creating in the past years. I didn't really share my work before, because I always wanted it to be 'perfect'. That was until I realized that music is not about perfection - my music will always evolve. here is where i'll upload out both new tunes as well as some earlier productions.

being 13 years old, an early version of fl studio called fruityloops became my first touch point with electronic music production. i started studying it by myself right away & soon it became my passion. i started out producing hip hop beats, that was until I discovered house music. 3

In 2017, my first EP "Fade Away" got released on Analyse Records. The melancholic & groovy deep house tune "Drifting Away" as well as "Back Then" were chosen for multiple compilations on Beatport. To me, they were the first real step towards the ultimate goal of creating my own sound with punch, clarity and grooving basslines inspired by early funk & rap music.

around the time my first EP got released, a successful cologne-based DJ named Avocado asked me to send him some of my tracks so that he could play them at the famous underground club Odonien. he has been my biggest supporter ever since. he was the first person who really felt what i'm doing, so we decided to learn from each other as an artist duo. That day the project Cross & Avocado (http://www.soundcloud.com/crossundavocado) was born.
we've become close friends & I got to play at some great underground clubs such as odonien, reineke fuchs or heinz gaul. one of our first productions as a duo was the tech house anthem 'Savior', which also became our first official release. The 'Savior EP' got released on Klexos Records in march 2019 (available on Beatport). there is a lot to come - follow us on SoundCloud to support our music. 3
