Merk & Kremont (Fede and Joe) first met in Fede’s basement in their home town of Milan. They started talking music, soon realizing they had the same vision, and started working together on a series of bootlegs all the way to their first successful original production, Tundra, in 2013.
The Italian duo’s musical influences range from Daft Punk to Fedde Le Grand, and the great House classics – and although Joe started out producing Hip-Hop beats whilst Fede was more into Pop– they found the perfect combination of ingredients to develop what is now recognized as their unique sound. A sound that has been described as “grinding ‘n’ groovy”.
Merk & Kremont have since been unleashing massive club hits, garnering the support of everyone who counts in clubland.
Their tracks have featured on labels like Flamingo, Protocol, Size, Premiere, Revealed, Musical Freedom, Future House, Ultra and Spinnin’.
Some of the big ones include Get Get Down (2015), Ciao (2016), Turn it Around (2017), Sushi (2018) and Gucci Fendi Prada (2019), Bam Bam (2020)
They’ve been alternating club releases with more radio-oriented vocal tracks. Sad Story feat. Ady Suleiman on Spinnin/Positiva in 2017
Hands Up feat. D.A.N.C.E. on Island in 2018
Kids on Island in 2019
Numb, with Svea feat. Ernia on Island and Universal in 2020. She’s Wild ft The Beach on Island in 2021
In their spare time between a club release, a pop release and their live dj sets, they write and produce for other artists and in this role, they’ve been dominating the Italian pop charts for the last five years. Amongst the most sought after producers in Italy, they’ve clocked up hundreds of millions of streams with their production of megahits such as, for example, Rovazzi -Andiamo a Comandare; Benji & Fede – Dove e Quando; Ghali – Good Times.
They play their unique grindingly groovy sets all over Europe, Asia and North America, be it a festival like TomorrowLand or a club in Las Vegas.
Over 30 platinum discs later, Merk & Kremont are the hottest act of their generation to come out of Italy, djs, producers, influencers…. these guys know how to make records and how to spin them too.
