This record is edited in Spain by the company REPULSE RECORDS. Thus, Kritz begins a great amount of productions for bands as NOISELAB, 448, VIRTUAL, etc.
In 1999 signs a contract with EDEL MUSIC and launches the reissue of PAIN MANAGER. In the meantime, he is hired by the record company TOWER RECORDS, working for them for three years.
In 2000, together with UNIDAD DE TRANSMISION, he makes a show with the Belgian band FRONT 242, in front of an audience of 2500 fans of electronic music.
At the end of 2001, together with Raúl Cariola, Osko Cariola (ex SANTOS INOCENTES) and César Andino (CABEZONES), creates the production company RESONADOR, with the aim of joining forces and knowledge of artistic productions. From that year onwards, MatÃas Kritz works in band productions such as CUNDEY MOLEN, SKINMASK, SUBLOW, INFIERNO 18, POOMPIWOM, CABEZONES (opening of Tiempos Violentos) among others.
In 2003, Kritz presents his fourth album, the first one in Spanish, called "Cruz de Noche". In this new project, under his own name, Kritz approaches a sound more electronic -in song format-, with an influence much more British rather than American, regarding the sound. Cruz de Noche counts on the presence of guests such as Raúl Cariola, Osko Cariola, Emilio Ihlenfeld (guitar player of SOMA), Martin Delahaye ex bass player of PANZA and now (202), Diego Cariola (bass player of 202), and Sara Ugarte ex vocalist and guitar player of VENUS, the Chilean band.
The album contains 11 songs that cover distortion, climate and acoustic moments.
In 2006, after many years working on productions only, Kritz takes up again his solo project in English, CARNE PARA CERDOS, and begins the recording of QUANTIZE LIFE" (3rd album by CPC and 6th of his career).
