Krunoslav Nerad had his first contact with electronic music by the late nineties. The musical consciousness that appears in that time has occupied him in the full sense of, not only word, but sound as well. The great wave of electronic events in the new millennium, at the beginning of 2000s, marks all that will happen in the next twenty years or so. For Krunoslav, it was listening and capturing the beat. During his high school education, Krunoslav and his group of friends were musically inspired by hip hop. At that time, the first amateur radio station of Technical High School they attended had opened. That radio station was what encouraged his interest in DJ-ing. After visiting the first electronic music events in his hometown, he became enamoured with electronic music, but more precisely, the techno sound.
His public debut as a DJ was in 2006 on a local TV station in the electronic music show Nucleus, where he first presented his musical selection which was inspired by both international and national names in electronic music. Getting into the House style, under the pseudonym Housejaxx, he is getting into, for him, a new and unexplored area of musical selection, which has, in following years, profiled him as a temperamental DJ behind the decks. Recognized for his originality and quality by a local electronic music event organization agency Esaa Association, he got to his first residencies in clubs such as Valinor and Scotch and a residency at a Graffiti festival in his hometown. He also had performances in surrounding towns where he became a synonym of a quality “underground” sound, which at that time started to become more and more popular on the local scene.
Various collaborations with local associations and electronic events organizations offered him to perform with Croatian electronic music masters and with names from abroad, so he was able to show his sound in its entirety. After several years of active work, in 2009 he cooperates with a German-Croatian electronic events organization Expressed Movement. He had his first appearance outside of Croatia in Neuraum Club in Munich 2011. That same year he changed his stage name to Jaxx Pot and with it continued his journey through electronic music scene as an organizer of electronic events, with performances in other cities in Croatia, and guest appearances at local radio stations. During years of activity on the local scene he went through various styles of electronic music, but in the past few years he has held on to “progressive house” sound, which has always been present in his music, but never entirely. With this, the search and the defining phase of what he wants to present to the audience on the dance floor has ended. Still, he hasn’t closed himself in a safe sound zone, as the story goes back to the beginning and techno, which he decides to experiment with.
As a result of his stylised and technically improved series of studio mixes named Confessions, in 2012 his music started to play at radio stations abroad. It’s not rare for his music selection to be broadcasted at Los Angeles based Proton Radio. In 2018 he debuted in shows E-Motion and VS Show. Similarly, his progressive selection played on MixOne radio in Argentina.
By the mid 2017 his first Ep called Life in poetry was published by a Croatian label Abandon. Working with Hatar, they formed a new production project Hatar&Keuno. That same year, under a recording company A must have, his second Ep called Sunset vision came out featuring many Croatian and regional musicians.
