He became known for his versatility, which he always combined with his extraordinary sound mix of Tech House and HipHop. In the background he always followed his secret passion, techno music. In 2017 Jan decided to end his previous, yet very successful concept and created a new one. Newfound enthusiasm for electronic dance music and a passion for techno led to the birth of “IAN CRANK”.

In the same year, together with five friends, he founded the collective “Westgefüge”. With the extraordinary series of events “Wunderland” & “Westopen” they have made a name for themselves within the region.
