Both Rietsch and Wagner have been active as producers since 2002 yet they formed the duo now known as Camo & Krooked after meeting at one of Rietsch's gigs in 2007. Their first collaboration was the track 'Play It' from Camo's 2007 single 'Drop It' and things simply escalated from there.
The real turning point for the duo can be traced back to the release of 2010 EP 'Edge of Mind' which received international support from huge renowned DJs such as Pendulum and Grooverider. They picked up the accolade of Best Newcomer DJs at the 2010 Drum & Bass Arena Awards and their reputation on the scene appeared to be cemented as one of the most exciting new acts.
They continued to experiment with a minimal techno and house music sound and released another EP entitled 'Pulse Of Time' which gained support from further celebrated artists including Andy C, Subfocus and High Contrast. 'Cross The Line' was released in the UK in 2011 and achieved moderate commercial success, breaking the top 200 of the albums chart. It was the duo's relentless appearances on the festival circuit that summer which helped build their fan base substantially and brought their music to new audiences.
They released the follow-up 'Zeitgeist' in 2013 and have continued to develop new material and sounds. They have also remixed music for a high calibre of artist including London Grammar, Lana Del Rey and even Jefferson Airplane. The future appears to be very exciting for the young duo as their reputation and skill mounts at a lightning pace.
I’ve seen Camo & Krooked, an Austrian drum and bass duo perform around the UK at festivals and smaller club venues, and it’s safe to say they have remained one of my favorite DNB acts of the last few years. Ever since I heard debut 2011 singles ‘All Fall Down’ and ‘Cross The Line’, with the latter featuring the infectious sing-a-long vocals of Ayah Marar, I’ve made sure to catch them whenever possible. Although they haven’t broken into the top of the charts as of yet, the duo who are signed to Hospital Records and are made up of Reinhard “Camo” Rietsch and Markus “Krooked” Wagner have a firm fan base around the world. They’ve played shows around the world and always give 110% to their live and DJ sets. When I’ve seen them, the audience are always up for it, happily bouncing up and down to album tracks like ‘Watch It Burn’ while the floor boards rattle beneath them and their hearts pound from the heavy bass beats. BUT, they also like to mix up their sets, not afraid to defer from their trademark drum and bass sound, with trap hits like Baauer’s hit ‘Roll Up’ and the rock/dubstep mix of Modestep’s ‘Show Me A Sign’. Camo & Krooked are one of the best dance acts I’ve seen live, go see them now!
