Porcelain Head aka Cro55
This Wrocław native loves synthetic sounds, is fascinated with the sounds of the 80s, plays and produces electronic music. His preferences oscillate around the dark side of the force, in a blend of melancholy, the psychedelic, deep base and a pinch of melody. It is musical minimalism upon the extreme of excess. He’s taken part in numerous musical projects and strained his health during countless sets of Nu Disco, Indie, Deep House, Tech-House, Dub Techno; all the genres with which he most frequently makes his musical mésalliance.
