Christian *C-Rock* Rindermann, born 1972 (Frankfurt, Germany), first DJ-gig 1989, first release 1994 (on Ladomat/Playhouse). one of the heads of the new German House movement along names like ata Macias (Playhouse/Robert Johnson), Yannick (Needs Not Wants) and Dixon (Sonar Kollektiv). Founder and editor of Germany's first House-underground-magazine "SiZE!" (together with DJ Yannick).
From 1994 to 1997 C-Rock was the man behind a couple legendary events (together with Ricardo Villalobos) and clubnights with guests like Chez Damier, Dan Curtin, David Alvarado, John Acquaviva, Carl Craig and many more. A residency at Frankfurt's Box (former XS-Club) started in 1999 and a monthly residency at Club Monza followed in 2000.
Summer 2004 marked the start of C-Rock's *Going Deeper* clubnight every friday at Cocoonclub Frankfurt. *Going Deeper* stands for a broad selection of Housemusic, Disco, classics and contemporary Techno and House productions with guests like Chez Damier, Charles Webster, Markus Enochson, King Britt, Jef/k, Vincenzo and many more.
Running labels are Stir15 Recordings (Deephouse), Lofi Stereo (Electronic & Minimal) and Release Music (Chicagohouse Oldskool influenced). Side-projects include the management of the music network Mad-Net and the technical-conception for the Red Bull Music Academy. A development-collaboration with Ecler Audio Barcelona brought up the effect-mixer Nuo5 and the first real Midi DJ-Mixer Nuo4.
His productions and DJ-sets are influenced by the early work of Curtis Mantronik, Kraftwerk as well as Chicago-House and the strong European Electronic Body Movement. Deephouse always has been a major influence as well as all kinds of Jazz and Dub productions.
Crock's debut album Track & Feel (Stir15-DLP1/CD1, 1998) is still classified as one of the milestones of the new school of German Housemusic and has been voted up to position #8 in the Spex "best-of-1998-charts". Collaborations with Needs (aka Boobjazz), Ricardo Villalobos, Luciano & Pier Bucci, Sven Vaeth, Clair Dietrich, Chris Duckenfield, Glance & Chris Gray, Russ Gabriel, Richard Davis, Swayzak, Richard Davis and many more.
His DJ-career took him to clubs around the globe in cities like Santiago de Chile, Barcelona, Zurich, Chicago, Sao Paolo, Lisabon, Capetown and many more.
Latest works include remixes for Phonique & eErlend Oye, Abdullah Ibrahim and Blaze. Besides his solo-projects and remixes C-Rock also teams up with Neville Attree under the name of "Further" and with Matthias Vogt for their "Motorcitysoul" project.
