Lars Wickinger

Music was always his companion and his great passion! At the beginning of the 90s he made his first contact with the Techno Sound. He got hold of his first electronic equipment and so, while still playing in bands, he did more and more programming of his own. In Berlin he starts with a project called Vanilla Krepp featured a woman singing to be heard on Freizeitglauben03 and on the second „Notaufnahme“ Sampler of the Popagenten. 2003 he met the ingenious songwriter Michael Skelton from Hamburg and a highly productive phase began, out of which two projects emerged: The Hip hop-Elektro Band Citizens International and later the Elektro-Techno Duo C.I.T. (www.myspace.com/citmusic). Numerous releases of C.I.T. followed on Electric Avenue Rec. (the label of Monika Kruse), Spoiler Music, Lebensfreude Rec. and Killa Beat. Since 2006 he also produces minimal style techno with Dj Markus Schatz under the name of Schatz & Wickinger. Releases on EK-Records and Opossum Rec. from Berlin comes out. As the next obvious thing to do Lars Wickinger started producing solo-tracks.
