The Swiss producers duo Cryptonites, are living up to their reputation of elusiveness.
Two years ago, they appeared for the first time on myspace. Only a few weeks later, they received a lot of support from well-known blogs and their initial productions were spread over the internet. In May 2008, they released their first EP called «Hands of God EP» on their very own label Destruction Music. DJ-gigs all over Europe were the result of it. They played several events in France, Hungary, Norway, Portugal, Austria, Italy and Germany together with big names such as MSTRKRFT, Shadow Dancer, Feadz, Les Petits Pilous, Sinden and Punks Jump Up. Back in the studio, they started doing remixes for the Australian electro-pop band Grafton Primary, German shooting stars Jennifer Rostock as well as fellow producers like Russ Chimes and Futurecop! One year later in June 2009, they announced their second EP;«Boots Electric EP» which includes three new productions of the duo as well as a remix of German producer Saint Pauli. The positive feedback of DJs all around the globe leave no doubt that this is just the beginning of a long journey for these two guys. C R Y P T O N i T E S - BOOKiNG REQUEST TO: ingo@freakz-me-out.de  "Even after days of investigation, i have not been able to find out more about them besides that they're coming from switzerland and are obviously having a problem with superheroes. but what i can tell from the tracks i have got ahold of is that they have definitely found the perfect formula to conduct banging tunes. digitalism and teenage bad girl are references that are coming to my mind, but just listen for yourself..." discodust.blogspot.com "These guys pick up where the Ed Banger/Digitalism crowd leaves off, adds in more funk twists and turns, a sprinkle of Daft Punk's earlier House leaning, and some secret X component that just makes it all seamlessly work in the catchiest, danciest way imaginable." www.bibabidi.com "I've blogged Cryptonites before, but they deserve a whole post. It's not the just the music, it's not just how they play it - it's both. I simply can't get enough of this two-piece's eclectic mix of genres, simple but effective mixing style and startling regularity. Every month they put out a new mix and it is always, without fail, better than the last..." alb-log.blogspot.com "We got a new mixtape this morning from the CRYPTONITES that is DOPE AS SHIT! These guys have been laying down the serious heavies lately and this tape continues in that tradition. Look out for the part where they go back and forth btw Justice and Mr. Oizo, it's sick as shit. There's some unrelased stuff on this as well. Geeks, get ready! Keep an eye out for the CRYPTONITES remix of OCELOT's 'LO SFORZO' that will be on the upcoming single out later this fall on IHEARTCOMIX!" www.iheartcomix.com "Cryptonites are a pair of bang-'em-out dudes from Switzerland who've been collecting blog nods and spots in DJs playlists more and more over the past year for their hitting electro. Now, on their eve of their debut EP, 'Hands of God', let's give the boys a full push, because this is some hype business." www.missingtoof.com
