Climatic, a musician, producer and video-artist, was born 1971 in Southern Germany. Already by the age of 16, he gained attention as a keyboarder and composer for various live bands. Pursuing a career as a jazz/fusion pianist at first, he studied piano, drums and percussion at the conservatory in Mannheim. It was then in the early nineties that he also established himself as a studio musician and producer. However, his growing Interest in dj-culture and electronic music drew him to Cologne a few years later.

While in Cologne, he built up his studio and began to work on his own tracks and remixes. Inspired by Kruder&Dorfmeister, The Orb and Erik Satie, yet deeply rooted in Jazz and soul music, he developed a colourful and wide variety of sound-sphere, which could be best described as somewhere between Ambient/Downbeat and Deep-House.

Being a live-partner of Naoki Kenji lor many years, he became familiar with the club-scene in and out ot Germany. This Collaboration also lead to several tracks, as released on Kenji's album "E-coustic" or "JP-Juice/Fukai Remixed". His music has additionally been released on various compilations.

Over the past year and a half, his tracks and videoclips have appeared constantly in the hr-Femsehen television night program "man-vs-machine".

Climatic sees himsell as crossing-over, rather than puristic. With "Around And About" he presents a very personal and wide-ranged debut album, proving remarkable musical maturity.
