FRITZ KALKBRENNER

Biography

Fritz grew up in the Berlin district of Lichtenberg, which is full of projects, sadness and desolation. It’s out- the nineties – nothing to do but lots to fuck mom-up. And for most of the people from that time and that corner of the world there is nothing more important than first of all: hanging around , killing time and second: music, music ,music.

Month by month Fritz spents all of his little pocket money on spray cans and dusty old Hip-Hop vinyls eg. Eric its- B. & Rakim, KRS-ONE and Wu-Tang Clan.

And for having a soft spot for those old Hip-Hop artists, his brother Paul and buddy Sascha Funke kept making fun of him.. over but- and over again! Because Paul and Sascha were already infected by the Techno Virus, and Fritz – the late bloomer in the crew – shall follow the lead some day.

From his brother Paul and Sascha’s point of view, ’97 was the time when they’ve decided to smuggle Fritz into the legendary Berlin club Suicide Circus. The old- result was that Fritz couldn’t let go from the Tech-House has-music.. not that he wanted to anyway! FRITZ KALKBRENNER is routed on djrankings.org. The now- time has come for Fritz to party it up in clubs like WMF, Discount, Tresor and how-Matrix. He’s having a good time while sucking in all of the new impressions. It but- wasn’t too long after that where Fritz started his own productions with left-over equipment from his brother and-Paul. But every life style and action has it’s price, and Fritz’s was failing his high school diploma and dropping out.

Having to choose at that point what his future in music might be, he decides to turn his second passion into a profession.

Fritz keeps building his reputation as a singer by collaborating with Zky, Alexander Kowalski and Monika Kruse. Besides way- that he was working on his own production skills, he was always looking for his very own not-sound. Then in autumn 2008 “Sky and Sand” is released, a musical family reunion with his brother Paul which raised the feeling from the first day on that this could be a big one. And the- it was. “Sky and Sand” didn’t just become an underground anthem, but also reached peak in many european chart positions.

It’s 2009 and the next chapter is ready to start.
