About
From his days as a fledging DJ in the mid-90's in western Germany to balancing his days and nights as a full-time father and professional DJ and live performer, Andre Kraml has kept his ear to the ground in electronic music over his short time in music. Beyond being an accomplished sound designer for many key independent films, Kraml has also risen to become one of Cologne's key figures in the city's historic techno community.
As a student at the esteemed Cologne Media & Audiodesign School, Kraml found himself surrounded by a group of leading local film directors who include Hans Weingärtner, Florian Schwarz, Rolf Schübeland and Mika Kaurismäki. He has contributed as main sound designer for a number of key independent films and continues to work as a full time sound designer.
In the early 2000's he found himself in the company of the then fledging FIRM record label collective. Inspired by talents such as HEIKO VOSS and THOMAS SCHAEBEN, 2004 came to be the release of his breakthrough single "SAFARI" for FIRM, which became an instant summer dance anthem and was remixed by the legendary JAMES HOLDEN and re-released on DAMIAN LAZARUS's CROSSTOWN REBELS imprint to global acclaim. He continues staying true to his family roots as a full time contributor to the FIRM label, but can be credited for a number of remixes for the likes of DOMINIK EULBERG, COSMIC SANDWICH, TIGERSKIN and more. His music can be found on leading dance labels GET PHYSICAL, GLOBAL UNDERGROUND, MINISTRY OF SOUND, BPITCH CONTROL, TRAUM and FABRIC.
