DJ CRYPT
Thomas Grehl, born in Sigmaringen at the Danube,
is better known to the party scene as DJ CRYPT.
Inspired by the works of DJ Revolution, Craze and Mirko Machine, his style covers a wide range of musical tastes including hip hop, soul, funk, and breakbeat, basically anything that rocks. Mixing it up with some dank nasty scratches at the highest level you get a wicked sound which makes you move. One reason for his party suited sound is definitely his first hand knowledge of the party music scene. Crypt is frequently the life of the party and knows how to spice it up, quickly transforming the lamest audience into a rip-roaring dance hall. On the other hand, Crypt is totally conscious of his responsibility as a DJ to produce quality sounds, and aims for the perfect show at every opportunity. Only at a live performance can you witness his sense dedication as he dishes up a first class sound. Menu, sprinkling each track with some of his renowned scratching style.
Originally, Crypt got into the hip hop scene, not by playing records, but by writing. Inspired by the Berlin painters Rew, Fok, Chaos & Odem he began to sketch own styles in the year 1996. Finally, in 1999 he fell into his second passion, playing records, and entertaining as well. As in a Rosamunde-Pilcher novel it was love at first sight and Crypt has been spinning ever since. Over the years, Crypt intensified his commitment to the art of DJ'ing and visited numerous events, jam sessions, and parties all over Germany, always in search to create the perfect party. This perfectionism soon yielded the fruit of his personal discography: In the meantime DJ Crypt has accomplished performances in Austria, Switzerland, Slovakia, The Czech Republic and Holland and has published six mix tapes so far. Amongst others, he cooperated with hip hop giants such as Funkdoobiest (L.A./USA), with whom he was touring Europe in 2005.
He is currently rippin the DJ Set on shows for MARS MC (Suedwestwind) . one of the best Hip Hop MC's down south of Germany.
