about
Much time has passed since Kris Baha swapped the parched red earth and searing midday sun of the Australian outback for the brutalist buildings, communist-era apartment blocks and slate-grey skies of East Berlin. Now firmly embedded in his adopted city, Baha bas become known for a trademark DJ and production style inspired by sun-baked hallucinatory visions and the clandestine, concrete-clad industrial hum of the metropolis after dark. Kris is now a regular fixture at celebrated Berlin institutions CockTail D’Amore , Sameheads & Panorama bar. There, and during guest spots elsewhere across the World, he dives deep into the void, to deliver extended sets of otherworldly machine music driven by emotion and mood, be it energy, joy, lust or sadness. The same ethos applies to his hardware-driven, performance-based live shows, which were initially inspired by his love for the pioneering gigs of the first industrial era. When not channeling the musical spirits to inspire dancers, Baha can be found lurking in the shadows of his studio space. There, he performs mixing, mastering and remix duties for the likes of Die Wilde Jagd, Boys Noize, Joakim and Red Axes. There has also been a noted collaboration with fellow Aussie outcast Dreems as Die Orangen. Yet it’s his own skewed, mutant dancefloor productions for which Baha is undoubtedly best known. Inhibiting their own sound space between industrial, EBM, minimal wave, early ‘90s IDM and krautrock. User-contributed text is availabl
