Waldeck, the brainchild of Austrian musician Klaus Waldeck, is a project known for its eclectic blend of musical styles, ranging from downtempo and trip-hop to electronic and nu-jazz influences. Emerging in the mid-90s, Waldeck's sonic palette is often rich with moody atmospheres and seductive rhythms, characterized by a cinematic quality and an affinity for incorporating retro sounds with modern production techniques.

Over the years, Waldeck has delighted audiences with a unique fusion of genres, creating an aural tapestry that feels both nostalgic and forward-thinking. With a career spanning over two decades, the project celebrated its longevity with the release of "20 Years Dope Noir," a retrospective collection of albums colored in Oranje, Green, and Red, which marked the celebration of Waldeck’s twentieth anniversary in the music industry. These albums encapsulate the essence of Waldeck’s diverse discography, showcasing the project's evolution while honoring its roots in the downtempo and electronic music scenes. Alongside these commemorations, recent tracks like "Never Let You Go" and "Look at me Joe" from the "Beach Club Conviction" series continue to demonstrate Waldeck's ability to craft atmospheric and engaging soundscapes, solidifying their reputation as an influential and enduring presence in the world of electronic music.
