First Vinyl: DJ Redoo- "Rise and Shine" (Smokin' Drum Recordings). He promotes D&B styles like Dark & Hard Drum and Bass, Crossbreed but also Hardcore. He also produces the one or other track for his mix sets in his home studio. Acriter stands for the harder electronic sounds, so nothing for the faint-hearted...
But if you like it harder, you should definitely let yourself be carried away into his
world full of relentless kickz & drumz. He has been organising Partys since 2001, events like "Manhunt" or "Intense", but also the world-famous "Therapy Sessions". And he is the organiser of the "Subland Events". Acriter revives the vibe of the former Subland Club as a series of events. Driven by his love of music, much more can be expected in the future.

How it all began......
When Acriter first saw the Prodigy video called "Out of Space" on MTV London, he was immediately highly addicted to the music. A year later, through a friend at the time, he got his hands on his first happy breakbeat tape, which totally threw him for a loop. He started looking for jungle, breakbeats and other electronic music.....tapes, records .....anything he could get his hands on....
Soon he got his first tape from the happy hardcore/breakbeat club "Milk" in Mannheim and things got heavier....
After Acriter had bought his first vinyl, DJ Reedoo- Rise and Shine (Smokin' Drum Recordings), it didn't take long until he tried the turntables for the first time and liked it right away, which led to a steady increase of his record collection...
Fortunately, there was the "Großer Bär" in Stuttgart, as Mannheim was a bit far away...
In the "Großer Bär" with Dj Tease and many more, the biggest Jungle parties in Stuttgart took place...from then on Acriter was fully infected. From then on, the Breakbeats & Jungle drove him from city to city - Mannheim Milk, Stuttgart/Großer Bär, Lampertheim/Crime Club, Ludwigshafen/Walzmühle, Mannheim MS Connexion etc....
After a few parties in youth centres and smaller venues, Acriter and some friends rented a practice cellar in Stuttgart's city centre in 2001, which was immediately converted into an "underground location". There he realised how much fun it was to organise parties. There Acriter rocked the thickest underground parties under Stuttgart's streets for a year. Unfortunately, after a raid with some cops, it was the end of the line...
In 2002, it continued with the "Crucafixion" events in the Medienhaus in Stuttgart. After that, Acriter moved to the C22 Club. From April 2003, he organised the D&B Infinity Club in Stuttgart. Jungle and Drum'n'Bass sessions with Acriter and many many more took place there every 1st and 3rd Friday of the month...
After one year, this party series unfortunately came to an end and from then on he concentrated on producing music, so he had to acquire a lot of knowledge. After that, other events like "Manhunt", "Intense" or "Therapy Sessions" followed. After Acriter got to know the wonderful Subland Club in Berlin in 2011, he was hooked and the move to Berlin was already set in stone. After the closure of the Subland Club, Acriter took over the responsibility for the future Subland events in Berlin. From then until now, Acriter has been trying things out, learning, and developing into the crazy head he is today....
Now he stands for all drums and basses that are fast, hard and without mercy. At the moment he is tinkering with his tracks and wants to continue to inspire with his mix sets and productions in the future. Like 20 years ago, his love for music is something that still drives him to organise events. That's why he will continue to create a platform for subculture with the Subland events in the future.
