Christian Kleine (born 8 December 1974, in Lindau[1]) is a German musician.
Kleine grew up at the Bodensee and with 10 years age started to study classical trumpet.[2] He later learned to play electric bass, drums and guitar.[2][3] Influenced by new wave music, post-punk and later by electronic music, Kleine started with DJing at the age of 17.[2]
In 1995 Kleine moved to Berlin, where he produced his own electronic music. In 1997 he met radio DJ Thaddeus Herrmann and both founded the project Herrmann & Kleine.[2][3] The duo released the album Our Noise in 2002 as well as two EPs.
Kleine's solo debut album Beyond Repair was released in 2001 on the City Centre Offices label.[3][4] The Valis EP followed in 2002 on Morr Music.[5][6] He later collaborated with Arovane for a split EP and co-produced Arovane's second album Tides.[2]
His second full-length solo album, Real Ghosts, was released in 2004, back on City Centre Offices.[7][8]
