- Crocy is one of the finest DJs and producers of his generation. With over a decade of experience Crocy redefinined the Slovenian electronic sound and pushing it further through the warm melodic groovy and progressivehouse realms.Crocy belongs to the generation of artists that found their calling in the electronic music in the new Millennium. Growing up in Slovenia and despite his focus being on various shades of house music, he could not avoid being at least a little bit influenced by the dominating techno sound in the formative stage of his career. The crucial moment for Crocy was listening to Eric Fischer’s 1999 Love Parade mix. He instantly fell in love with the fusion of techno, house and electro, including Mr Oizo’s Flat Beat and Daft Punk’s take on Mothership Connection. Intrigued by this sound, he started gathering information on the scene and at the mere age of 14 he experienced his first rave, sneaking out without parents noticing. Enjoying the sets of his Slovenian elders such as Umek, Valentino Kanzyani and Eddie F, he decided to follow their footsteps. He bought a set of second hand belt-drive turntables and started practicing. He needed some time to figure out how to beat-match and mix, but once he did he started doing mixtapes for his friends. Eventually people noticed him and he got his first gigs. In a couple of years, he became a familiar face on Slovenian scene whilst DJing at various parties in Germany, France and Austria as well. Listening to his music you might not guess he’s a classically trained accordionist (he rarely brags about that, as he wanted to play keyboards in the first place). These days he can’t stand the sound of accordion but he uses the knowledge and skills acquired at music school in creating his own music. It is the combination of his skills as a musician and a self-taught producer that makes his sound so unique. He learnt music production on his own, by watching colleagues and trying out ideas in Reason. By playing his first loop in a club he managed to clear the room though no long after that he broke through with a remix for Uruguayan artist Federico Epis. Progressive house title ‘Sunday’, released on San Francisco based Dub Coast records in 2006 was Crocy’s first official recording and it was played by top artists such as Hernan Cattaneo, Anthony Pappa, Martin Garcia, Christian Cambas and Jason Jollins. After this Swiss Off Shore records got in touch with a request for a remix of the official Street Parade 2006 anthem. That was the project that opened many doors for Crocy at other labels, including Balkan Connection and Bonzai. Since 2010 he has worked tightly with this Belgian’s institution and artists such as Airwave, who is also one of the biggest supporters of his eclectic sound escaping the genre pigeonholes. Next major leap forward came when he teamed up with Canadian singer and songwriter Ashley Berndt for a string of releases, such as ‘Mind’, ‘Passion’ as well as their hit single ‘Cry’, which has stormed the airplay and got heavily licensed for compilations in 2014. It became a major radio and club hit in various parts of Europe, which boosted demand for Crocy’s DJ gigs and got him invite to mix the third edition of Bonzai’s ‘In The Mix’ compilation, in which he perfectly showcased his eclectic approach to vanguard progressive sound. Being a verified all-around artist Crocy proved himself on more than one occasion he’s got a special touch for giving good tracks that little something they are missing to really stand out. He’s sprinkled a bit of his magic on Matt Holiday’s ‘God Forsaken’, Gai Barone’s ‘When in June’, Manu Riga’s ‘Urge To Love’ (charted well on Beatport) as well as his countryman’s Brlee’s ‘This is The Place’. On top of that he remixed Marco Bailey’s ‘Scorpia’ (played by Steve Parry, Airwave, Cristian Varela, Gai Barone, M.I.K.E., Paul Mendez and Suzy Solar) for Bonzai’s 25th Anniversary project as well as Airwave’s forthcoming release ‘Rain Upon My Skin’. His own original production ‘Because’ on Just Movement was passionately supported by Dale Middleton and Ruben De Ronde, while Simon Huxtable secured ‘Pathfinder’ for his Astir Records. Crocy’s signature sound is based on warm, bass line driven grooves, vocals as well as euphoric moments but if the melody doesn't fit the production he doesn’t force it. So, if you grew up with original progressive masters and have an ear for melodic house, you have to check his output that has secured him especially strong support of Bonzai family.̸Crocy - Pathfinder Marco Bailey - Scorpia (Crocy Remix) Crocy feat.
