about

In 2023 it will be exactly 40 years since Enzo Kreft saw the light of day. In 1983, the then 22-year-old Eric Vandamme came up with the name Enzo Kreft and that same year he released his first album on cassette, “Me Is!”, in genuine DIY style, recorded at home with minimal resources. The obscure “Me Is!” ended up in London via underground channels and eventually spread through collectors to all corners of the world. The following year there was a second album “Cicatrice” and then Enzo Kreft went into a long hibernation. However, Eric Vandamme did not sit still, he was part of a number of bands in that interim period and he had musical projects with some good friends. He was also visually active with drawing, painting, sculpting, etching, screen printing and video.

Around 2011, Enzo Kreft slowly started to wake up from his hibernation and some new tracks were in the pipeline. In 2016, Kreft made a definitive restart. The release of “Dark Matter,” the vinyl album released by Walhalla Records featuring tracks from “Me Is!” and “Cicatrice”, fueled the “craving” and at the end of 2016 Enzo Kreft released “Turning Point”. Then things went fast, new albums followed each other (“Wasteland” in 2017, “Control” in 2019, “Different World” in 2021 and “Shelter” in 2023), all in his typical DIY style. Everything involved in the creation of albums, including production and artwork, is consistently done in-house. Lyrics full of social criticism are combined with often dark, but danceable and melodic electro. Enzo Kreft has performed successfully a number of times with not unnoticed shows, accompanied by breathtaking video projections.

40 years of Enzo Kreft, reason enough for a party! For this special occasion, the compilation album “XL” (40 in Roman numerals) is released.
