HOW TO GET OUT OF THE BOX OF CLUB MUSIC?
After producing Glitch Dialectic, super audio processing and micro-resampling became foundations of my creative process. The intention was to focus the telescope on remote areas of digital sound through long generative runs with automated flows in the effects, create a series of variants of the complete take and then recompose with the best “coincidences” of each recording. With this process I try to generate a habitat, an ecosystem that is responsive to each other to establish the harmony and rhythm of the elements and the fauna that inhabit it.
RETURN TO THE 4/4
Sailing a deep sea, changing textures between glitches and samples on a 17th century ship, “Von Krup” presents “Interstak”, a combination of dub and minimal house with a rich sound palette that will appeal to those wandering ears.
Includes two remixes by “Esclavo Midi” and “Sojo”. Limited compact cassette and CD.
LATIN AMERICA GLITCH SOUNDS
This is the first collaboration between labels from different countries. In this case between Tensa Records from Chile and Discos Deleite from Mexico. This is a single that explores the IDM sound of René Roco and the electric bass style of Von Krup with samples by the alien translator Mafe Walker.
ERRORS MAKE US BETTER.
Understanding the glitch not as a mistake but as an unforeseen characteristic is how we can notice its liken in human life. The universal pedagogy we face and trying to understand the world is basically a method of trial and error on an irregular trajectory.
This album explores a dialectical approach to glitching within electronic music through 5 tracks. The design of the tones, the composition structure, and the processing of workflows that played with randomness and free will were used to translate this concept into an aesthetic oriented to the cerebral dance.

MEXICO-GERMANY GLITCH SOUNDS.
M
My second release at the german label Freude Am Tanzen with artists like Dj Koze, Robag Wruhme etc.
3 electronic tracks inspired in the microglitch sound, the melancholy of leaveing, and sundays in forest. Granular rhythims and jazz chords for the loneliness, mexican pine trees out of the window. Poems and haikus about a forgotten life and an astronaut playing melodies in the environment of his cosmic bedroom. Published en 2022 by Freude Am Tanzen.
IT'S ALL ABOUT PATIENCE.
A long wait always has its rewards. This is how this 3-track album produced at the height of the pandemic was published.
Approached from a meditative point of view, this album is my first foray into ambient atmospheres. Music created in the cloudy mountains of Oaxaca with samples from the movie "Signals" and Luna Roja's intro of Soda Stereo, electric guitars with lots of delay and handdrums. Published by Vaarios Artistas on 2021.
LOST LO-FI MEMORIES ALBUM.
When I sample I glorify the artists who guided my taste in music.
This album is an accumulation of demos marginalized from other projects like Kolorxauhqui and i release it in collaboration with my AKA Tales of Citadel. Includes references to Rick and Morty and samples from Underworld, Caifanes, Plastilina Mosh, Soda Stereo, King Gizzard, Spinetta and Erobique. Published by Discos Deleite on 2021.
THE SOUND OF AN UTOPIC FUTURE.
Earthlink emerges as a collaborative work inspired in solarpunk with the visual artist Eph3mme. The duo has elaborated a concept that merges musical synthesis —from digital programming processes with code to organic sounds, through sound design—, on par with syncopated rhythms and meticulous bass lines. The result heads to five tracks that deepen in a textured exploration of post-ambient/IDM styles, dissolving conventional production backgrounds. Published by OTONO/EKO on 2021.
SPIRITUAL POV OF DANCE.
3 Tracks, created in the framework of the production of FAT-ZIG 52 (Von Krup - Schoentl at Freude Am Tanzen). Sonically the EP compiles the fantastic and occultist spirit of Alekzal and Von Krup when they play together. The use of mandolins in different tunings is inspired by the induced folk through "Led Zeppelin IV". Furthermore you can hear the resource of the click/glitch, which Von Krup started to introduce in his percussive atmospheres since 2018.
Includes remixes of Jiony and Sarrelangue. Published by Conexa Records on 2021.
UKRAINE, CHILE AND MEXICO EP.
Collaboration is the creation engine of the new era. This release is an excerpt from the classic "Family Reworks" that Discos Deleite makes every Christmas with music from all the possible artists of the label. 3 tracks made remotely with the participation of artists such as Waveskania from Ukraine, Ochi from Chile, Barroco and Alekzal from Mexico.
Going through introspective ambient, Latin deep house, drum and bass with bossanova and organ composition madness with IDM. Published by Discos Deleite on 2021.
SOUNDLOGO BOOTLEG FOR FAT.
In this song I wanted to make a kind of musical logo for the Freude Am Tanzen label.
With cuts from his episode in the Electronic Beats series and voices with children's laughter that cause a good vibe in the listener of the intro of one of the Monkey Maffia sets to organically achieve the particular style of the label with my personal touch of making house. Published by Discos Deleite on 2020.
WHY WE LOVE REMIXERS.
Cementing relationships with artists that i had the pleasure of meeting in person and digitally thanks to the Der Musikplatz summits, i invited my favorites to remix these two tracks that originally posed a dub techno scenario that i became familiar with thanks to camping marathons in the cold mountains of Hidalgo.
2 original tracks and 9 remixes is a bit of the magic that comes from creating music together with other artists. Published by Discos Deleite on 2020
HIDDEN DIFFRENT WORKS.
I consider myself a collector, not to say accumulator.
My house is like a museum of things to which I assigned sentimental value, and the same thing happens to me with the tracks and demos produced.
I compiled the best works stored on my old computer and forged this release so they don't get thrown into the dust. It's one of the first albums where I use my AKA Tales of Citadel.
WHY I LOVE BEING A REMIXER.
When I do a remix I always think about what the artist in question likes or characterizes. It is of the utmost importance to understand the contexts of the artists and how our personal touch coexists in those environments.
On this album we compiled remixes for Waveskania from Ukraine, Delaputa Electronics from Bolivia, as well as for Mexican producers Yahualtic, Marcos Mora, Diego Madero, Ultraknife and the electro duo Ann Frontalva. Published by Nucleroto on 2020.
MEXICO ARRIVES ON THE FAT STUDIO.
We say hello to Von Krup, our new discovery from the other side of the Atlantic. This young dude is from Mexico City, s. o easily 10,000 kilometres away from the City of Jena. Not within walking distance, however musically a piece of cake. Because if there's one thing House can do, it's open hearts without boundaries. Von Krup also feels very much at home in Deep House. But as an audiovisual artist his work does not stop at pleasantly tempered bass drums and shimmering synth chords. That's precisely why we couldn't get his demos out of our heads. Von Krups tracks are musical kaleidoscopes - full of different timbres and natural sounds. Yet at the same time also abstract and glitchy, flippy and jazzy. In his first EP with us, Von Krup creates another sonic fingerprint of Mexiko city, this place of multicultural fusion, which is fascinating and almost intangible. Four Trackstracks, four faces – super schoentl. Freude Am Tanzen 2020.
PREHISTORIC COMPOSITIONS.
The prehistoric particularity of Von Krup which consolidates by once for all.
It´s a time travel which goes to the past that captures all field recordings with a Tacam to fabricate that the album defines into it´s actual concept.
Despite him getting stuck in this era he could send us the musical result.

HOUSE MUSIC WAS HERE.
The DIY and the free have a great effect on this project, they give a revolutionary spirit and provide comfort when it comes to raising your voice among the sea of ​​wavs.
This album of House nature with executions of Alekzal, saw the light thanks to the connection with the WOS collective who coexist with this spirit, being "We Only Share" the meaning of the free label project.

MEXICO ARRIVES ON UK KOSMOS.
I will always be grateful to the internet because it has helped me to interact with great people using music as a universal language.
With the English label Kosmos, the approach had radio appearances and an official video created by the film project on Mexican electronic culture: eljardindelasdeliciasmx.
These minimalistic grooves combined with house vibes and interpretations of instrumental vsts share intentions with the open air sound. Published by Kosmos Records on 2019.
GHETTO SAMPLES AND WEIRDNESS.
Rumours of politic character begin to resonate in the atmosphere of the label.
Samples and recordings from the field that involve the listener in a semi sonic protest where VON Krup´s house crosses the border of some folclore.
With Metáfone´s (Yahualtic & Sandwich Tamayo) and T.Hache participations it accomplishes an extensive dialogue in between guitars and machines. Published by Discos Deleite on 2018.
WE NEED TO PUSH IT.
This three-track album of my rustic house sound represents the initial thrust that launched Discos Deleite as a recording platform.
Being the first release of the catalog, it is an album that I have a lot of affection for because it contains songs that I planned since 2016 in a very beatnik time of my life.
Includes samples from the mexican track "Acompáñame", voices of Maa Iracheta, violins by Alekzal and a poem by Sandwich Tamayo.
Published by Discos Deleite on 2018.
CHIAPAS AND CDMX ON RUSSIAN LABEL.
Sepia is a single that contains samples from Daniel Johnston, an artist whom I admire for his persistence in art.
The beat can be too house, so we are looking for the possibility of doing a remix with the Chiapas duo Deepeace, thus connecting a Mexican touch to Russia through their Time 2 House label. Published by Time2House on 2019.
FIRST EP ON INTERNATIONAL LABEL.
This album is made up of two tracks that I produced in my vacation home, after a marathon of acid and Quentin Tarantino movies and a failed attempt at video filming in the company of Sandwich Tamayo.
Published by Time2House on 2017.
TRIPLET MEDIA WAS HERE.
The language of this work is very defined, it has a strong exotic character full of fantasy and contemporary imagery that is backed by elegant grooves designed for the dance floor. Von Krup takes all this complexity and creates a unique fresh sound that feels classic. Triplet Media 2016.
LIVES & DJ SETS.
RADIO SHOWS
HOMESICK
Homesick is a place in the digital space-time where I deposit that feeling that invades me on Sundays since my school days.
This five-episode series is made up of hip hop-based tracks rising in tempo each and is designed to stay home at medium volume as we wind down the last few hours of the week.
ELECTRONIC SHEEPS
Electronic Sheeps is a monthly radio show hosted by Von Krup and broadcast on the mexican project "Internet Public Radio".
Conceptually, it is about music made in Latin America that, thanks to its design, could be the soundtrack of future science fiction films.
COLABS
More than forty songs and counting make up this playlist where some of the collaborations and remixes I've done with great artists and friends from different latitudes are housed.
TALES OF CITADEL
This is where my double life occupies a place. Not because the projects are too different but because of curatorial circumstances, I made this AKA to store works that are outside of vonkrup's timeline.
REACCIÓN CÓNCAVA
Duo project by Von Krup and Offsteps exploring the most weird face of the dance music, under a minimalistic line his sounds can be shapes from IDM, Dub Techno, Ambient or band format. Reacción Cóncava can be every duo on the history of the duos, masked with this mexican skin.
DARK COMET
Duo project with Module_ from eljardindelasdeliciasmx focused on the open air sound with minimal grooves touching the psy techno in hypnotic surrounds, always and directly conected with the love that we feel for the forest.
KOLORXAUHQUI
This is my electronic jazz band of 5 producers that explores the psychedelic new sound possibilities with the technology.
7 tracks with all our feeling and skills to make band sounds being only electronic producers.
