Marodeur (Tocaknox)
Nicolai Staufenberg
Marodeur appeals by means of his authentic Minimal Tech-House Sound. His driving tracks, with their pulsating plainness, make no effort to deny his roots in the German Electro Scene. Three years ago he started to produce music on Audiotool. Judge for yourselves how far he has come to date.

- Message to the community
- Music production has become an important part of my life. Andre Michelle and team, I want to say thank you for this fantastic app! Keep it up! Dear Audiotoolers, I would like to quote Zone: "Make the music you want to make, don't make the music everyone else wants you to make. Good artists evolve when they follow their heart, think outside the box and experiment. New sounds and concepts can evolve from simple ideas and this is what makes music such an amazing thing." I just want to say: Have the courage to be yourself. Make music for your heart not for followers.
