Kroto

Originally from Aleppo, Syria, Kroto has long been obsessed with electronic music, combining Progressive, Melodic and Deep House, Techno and Electronica-Downtempo amongst many others. Beginning his musical life as a drummer in Aleppo listening to Psychoaleppo and Boshoco, his library grew with his travels around Turkey, picking up records from the likes of Township Rebellion, L.S.G., Adana Twins, Solee, Clawz SG and Blancah. For Kroto, music is as much about feelings as it is about the drum and the base, all of the ones that keep you moving long after your legs are tired. During 2018 Kroto performed with a group of Turkish and Syrian DJs looking for ways to bring their sounds to a Southeastern city with a population of over three million, but with music venues for about ten. Using a little imagination and a helping hand from a growing local and foreign fanbase, they began to put on nights wherever they could. Venues included empty swimming pools, abandoned buildings, circus tents and finally regular nights in some inner-city caves, one of the only venues that could deal with the growing crowd - and the bass.
