Krautok ist kontrollierter Wahnsinn. Ein Tag Non-Stop elektronische Live-Musik, zwischen Hippie-Jam und Techno oszillierend: Krautok-Musiker spielen nicht in Serie sondern im Cluster. Die Übergänge zwischen den einzelnen Live Acts morphen, Ein- oder Ausklinken ist prinzipiell immer möglich. Krautok reflektiert die repetitive, elektronische Musik der 70er Jahre, aber auch den Berlin-Sound der letzten Dekade.
24 hours electronic live-music in a traditional german Hippie – fashion. Krautok-acts don´t line up, they perform in clusters. Dropping in to the sound or fading away is always possible for the musicians, so there´s no cut between the live-acts and jammings.
Zehn 16-Kanal-Mischpulte und eine MIDI-Clock, die alle in den gleichen Takt bringt: Krautok bringt die Studios der Elektro-Tüftler und Techno-Diven auf die Bühne. Ungefilterter Sound, ohne Umweg über Labels, Vinyl und DJ. Krautok morpht zwischen Tanzmusik und Filterforschung. Elektrizität schmiert sich durch Klangerzeuger, Transistoren versohlen die Tanzfläche, Schweiß tropft auf Potentiometer. Die Uhr läuft – Aber wen kümmert´s?
Krautok gets them out of their studios and right into the club: Old techno-farts and electronic kids swinging together between four-to-the-floor and filter-science. Electricity sneeks through sound-devices, transistors beating up the dancefloor, sweat drops on potentiometers.
Zehn Jahre Krautok werden zelebriert: Am 23. August in der Maria am Ostbahnhof, der 24-Stunden-Live-Sound beginnt um 16 Uhr: Details
Celebrate ten years of Krautok: On the 23th of August at Maria am Ostbahnhof. The 24-hour-live-sound starts at noon: Details

Sebastian Preller started playing electronic music in 1996. In 1999 and 2000 he released together with a friend two records on Authentic Music, a small label from Cologne. In summer 2000 he moved to Berlin and spent some years in learning soldering and electronics. Now his son is 15 months old, so he has time again to make some music.
Producer, vocalist, songwriter, performer, musician, international dj the list goes on, our Bozzwell first appeared on the radar as one of The All Seeing I ‘s tentacles, back in the day, wowing the crowds with his exeptionally high pitched ball clenching false etto, his funky bass lines and keyboard wizardry, and who could forget that legendary Top of The Pops appearance dressed as some kind of space aged bandit. Since then he´s gone on to produce some very fine records indeed for some of the undergrounds most establised imprints including releases through Crosstown Rebels and Eskimo as Hiem, with his partner in Electro crime Nick Eastwood, he also seems to be turning feet and heads with his solo “Bozzwell “ releases which so far have hit the racks through Eskimo’s sister label Suicide and also more recently a brand new spanking killer 12” “The Fionas Song ep “ via Firm records Cologne, who sit comfortably under the Kompakt umberella, this release has been causing a stir amongst the cooler pages of the music press with rave reviews everywhere, so with all these releases and all the superstar producer remixes from Justus Koehnke, Dirk Leyers, Konrad Black and Mathew Johnson all tucked under his belt theres plenty more to come from this sheffield hairy bear of a man. Next sees the release of the first Hiem full long player where bozzwell has been collaberating with all sorts of pop and dance royalty including Roots Manuva, Kate Jackson (The Long Blondes) and of course the Sheffield Electro pop hero of our times sir Phil Oakey of the Human Leauge, the album is expected to hit the shops around december, early 2009 with single releases from september through sheffield uber cool Society records.

Mia is neither to be confused with the Grime hype from the UK, nor the cheesy german rock band. The original Mia first takes her place behind the turntables in the mid-90’s in Cologne. In 2000 she founded her Label Sub Static, which she is running together with Falko Brocksieper since. Releasing stuff on others Labels like Traum Schallplatten and Trapez as well she moved to Berlin in 2004. In 2007 Mia’s second album “Bittersuess” turns out to be her greatest success up to the now of Krautok.
Mia: don´t catch my soul

2001 Soffy Larsson Ocklind, born in Sweden, moved to Berlin and immediately recorded “Missy Queen´s Gonna Die” in cooperation with Toktok. Everyone went crazy and so did Soffy. After the fog lifted a couple of years later Soffy O. kept rubbing against pop. 2006 Soffy had her debut as a solo artist with the album “The Beauty Of It”, a mélange of funk, disco, R´n´B, 70s soul, rock´n´roll and 60s girl group sounds. This year, together with the musician Manne Svensson, she has founded the live project Soffy O. & And A Group Of Os and is currently recording her new album and some new tracks with Toktok.

Pom Pom sind Gespenster: Keine Fotos, keine Track-Titel, aber alle halbe Stunde kommt eine EP, zuletzt “Pom Pom 30″. Pom Pom sind Irre. Jeder Track ein Hit, und alle völligst merkwürdig zusammengeklaubt aus verschiedensten Hitideen, merkwürdiger Drogensucht, dem Sehnen nach diesem völlig unwirklichen Sound der plötzlich aus der hintersten Ecke des Clubs auftaucht und so hartnäckig ist wie das Nikotin an den Wänden. Pom Pom sind irre Gespenster.

Khan pays tribut to life’s ever-changing richness. Already known as the grand entrepreneur of electronic music able to add the ever so burlesque touch of true entertainment to all his projects, Khan now gives birth to Khan Of Finland and a new label called „I´m single“. At Krautok he is also going to perform together with Nerk & Dirk Leyers as well as taking part in the jam. Why should you be resting your head on just one style if there is so much more to discover?
