One could say Kruser is a jack of all trades, promoter, graphic designer, sound boy and one sick ass DJ! Growing up in Green Bay Wisconsin, Kruser was in a few bands playing funk slap bass until one day being exposed to a whole new world of music, electronic dance music. Becoming a fan of such music as Underworld, and The Chemical Brothers, he was then turned onto underground party’s and got a chance to see what it was all about. He noticed the vibe of the party and how everything was manipulated by the DJ. With every drop of the bass and the smooth transitions of the tracks he realized that this is were he wanted to bring his musical performance. 2000, Kruser started buying vinyl like a madman on a rampage. More as a record collector than a genre stickler, buying anything from all variations of House (mostly), Techno, Breaks, Drum & Bass, and Hip Hop. Coming up quickly Kruser played anywhere from Green Bay, Madison, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Chicago, Rockford, Kansas City, Lawrence, Quad Cities, Detroit, and everywhere in between. Meanwhile Kruser was also starting Locked Down Productions throwing some of the bigger party’s in the Northeastern Wisconsin area with a crew of DJ’s and friends. Then Kruser moved to Chicago to build Hedroom Productions from the ground up, a live sound reinforcement / recording studio / graphic design company. Chicago is were he honed his turntablism skills, and his ear, and love for audio. Now residing in Milwaukee, Kruser is buying up production equipment and software to take the next step and start getting his thoughts out on playable media.
Also Kruser was the frontman for the Konkrete Jungle Milwaukee chapter, keeping the D&B / Dubstep scene alive and well in the brewcity, Kruser decided to cancel the chapter and continue promoting under the promotional group Locked Down Productions (LDP).
Kruser has opened up for the likes of Pendulum Live, John B, Doc Martin, Klute, Starscream, Ewun The Gun, DJ Irene, Paul Anthony, Danny The Wildchild, Kyle Gieger, DJ Empress, Reid Speed, Jack Trash, Bryan Jones, Nustylez & Aztek, Ric Roberts, and Pipeline, just to name a few. Kruser’s quick mixing abilities, scratching, and pure raw energy behind the decks is sure to fill the dancefloor in any situation, in any venue!
