benjamin fehr, the berlin based producer, Dj and head honcho of catenaccio records
is permanently working on the development of "groove noir".

artists like ricardo villalobos, roman fluegel, falko brocksieper, jay haze, butane, dana ruh,
or labelhead benjamin fehr I ffwd are working perfectly together
towards the definition of "groove noir", which is the final destination of the label.
basses well under the radar, buzzing sounds, subtle darkness and stumbeling
grooves grow together to the special irritating and hypnotizing idea of catenaccio,
that is also brought to you through the special weird artwork of the covers.
you will find catenaccio tracks in charts and cases of magda, ritchie hawtin,
dinky, luciano, zip, jeremy caulfield, karotte, mia, chloe, jennifer cardini and many others.

he was resident in several clubs, like ostklub frankfurt (1997-2000), the institution robert johnson
club offenbach ("electric circus" with roman flügel, zip, heiko m.s.o. and krystyna, 1999-

since 3 years he is working also on his project "the result" that is a coproduction with

dark and organic and abstract techno.
