2005 - 2020 -
15 YEARS OF
CLIKNO
This year I
celebrate 15
years of
CLIKNO music.
Exactly in
January 2005 I
started to
work with
Ableton Live
with the goal
to produce
dancefloor-friendly
tunes highly
inspired by
minimal techno
and the clicks
& cuts
compilations
on Mille
Plateaux.
No wonder my
friend Caro C
just came up
with the term
CLIKNO, which
I immediately
adopted and
which I use
since then.
The new term
allowed me to
fill it with
whatever I
want and so
over the past
15 years I
produced and
released
electronic
music between
experimental,
ambient, IDM,
electronica,
dub techno,
minimal techno
or whatever
one will call
it.
Basically
it is
hypnotic,
trippy, deep,
dark, funky,
quirky,
experimental
and kind of
weird.
My first
CLIKNO release
followed one
year later on
the former
netlabel
Direktschall
and was
entitled
CLIKNOLOGIC.
Since then you
can find my
music on more
than 100
releases
spread over 40
labels or so.
In 2016 I
finally
founded my own
label and
called it
CLIKNO.
Two years
later I
relaunched it
as a vinyl
label.
Four vinyl EPs
are already
out and the
fifth will be
a double 12"
in the MAT
editions on
CLIKNO.
So
here is a
short summary
of what´s
coming up:
- new album AI
on the CLIKNO
label
- new album
POST TECHNO
CRISIS on
Goldmin
Music
-
new Anomali
album DRONES
& TONES
FOR THE FREE
II on Microrama

My
contribution
to the huge 5
Years of
Goldmin Music
sampler:
"In
celebration of
5 thrilling
and inspiring
years of work,
we’ve gathered
well-known
artists,
Goldmin
regulars and
emerging
talents for a
new
compilation
available as
4x12" vinyls,
now available
digital
including 20
extra tracks"
This
track is hard
to categorize
being not a
typical
Dr.Nojoke
track, but
represents my
adventurous
ambition of
exploring
sound and
rhythm under
the CLIKNO
theme.

newsletter
now, which I
will send
every now to
give you
exclusive
insights and
the newest
gossip:
gigs,

Why
a newsletter?
I still find a
newsletter is
something very
direct,
personal,
though serious
and more
sustainable
than a blog or
social media.
- You read it when you want
- It is easy to archive and to track back
- information is not so liquid, doesn´t get lost or forgotten so quickly as on social media platforms
- The news come directly to you
- It
looks good ;)
