With two strong debut releases on the Praterei imprint, 7 Citizens aka Viennese musician and producer Felix 'BNCKD' Bergleiter quickly nurtured a respectable name for himself within the small but thriving underground scene. Well supported by the likes of Tama Sumo, We Play House, Cottam, Sammy Dee, Iron Curtis, Marcello Napoletano, Snuff Crew, Murphy Jax, Tyree Cooper, ItaloJohnson and many more, his analogue sound, set off with nostalgic house vibes of the very early 90s and smatterings of detroit techno; even some hiphop, mos definitely is an ear-catcher. Shibboleths? Certainly never heard of that. Classic functionalism won ́t be found in his productions, nor the, alas, so common subliminal attempts of making house sound authentic and dirty. They simply work as they are. As pure analogue and ruff drafts. As complex instrumental dance songs with a hidden romanticism per se.

Felix started off djing in 1993 with lots of hiphop, headz and turntablism, making his acquaintance with broken beats in the early 2000s and finally falling for those house vibes pretty soon after. Thereby, his sets have diversity, technical skills and guts in abundance. Since 1997 Felix has been (and still is) part of one of Austria ́s most influential HipHop trio, the Waxolutionists. Playing festivals and shows worldwide for years, recording and releasing dozens of records. While on the broken beat tip he released some work with his outfit Circus and in 2009, together with Danilo Plessow (Motor City Drum Ensemble), he teamed up to deliver HUNDRED20, presenting their outfit of fully analogue Chicago crumbled house.

The debut on MCDE dropped in January 2011, rapidly climbing up various dj charts and bestseller lists worldwide. In March 2012, Amsterdam ́s finest label and collective 'Dekmantel' featured them on their 5th anniversary compilation, alongside shining guests such as Hunee, Skudge, Redshape and Juju & Jordash. With his mates willFling and Kido Soon he takes care of the monthly clubnight (at the famous Pratersauna in Vienna) and the vinyl-label Praterei.
