Skruuul is a German electronic music producer, songwriter and composer known for blending house, trap and experimental club. He has released several self-produced singles, videos and remixes since 2018.

Future Bass phase & spirit of optimism

He began uploading music videos on Youtube under a previous alias “Smelly” in 2016, including unofficial remixes and original work. He adopted the name Skruuul around 2017 and released his first official track, “Luuuve”, on 31 May 2018 which falls under the genre Future Bass. Later that year, on 25 November 2018, he released “Night Sky” featuring US Rapper Cole The VII.

Slap House collaborations

Throughout 2019, Skruuul produced collaborations and remixes in the Slap‑House era, including tracks for German Rappers UFO361, Juju feat. Henning May, and Apache 207. In 2020, he continued self‑releasing introspective tracks like “Youniverse” and “Never Letting Go” which stood out because of the upbeat/euphoric breaks, gaining attention of big names such as Sigala. These were his last Slap-House projects to date.

Shift into Deep House & introspection  

Later on he melted into melancholic Deep-House with releases such as “Staying Up” (Released on “Inameit”) which featured the classic organ bass, “When I Lost You” (Released on “LillyEra”), “Let’s Drive Away and Never Come Back” which included a guitar melody that is still uncommon to use in Deep-House, “Girls Night” and “How It Ends”. This era reflects his first touches with introverted styles and motives, moving away from pure euphoria. 

Workflow

Skruuul’s creative process treats music production as “painting on a dynamic canvas”. Melding composition, sound design, mixing, and mastering in a single expressive flow. Rather than the typical music production process with modular stages such as songwriting, pre-production, recording, editing, mixing, and mastering, his tracks emerge organically over long time and multiple emotive touches.

His sound design demonstrates a nuanced sensitivity to spatial and emotional depth. Skruuul describes his productions as “sometimes un-intentionally genrefluid”. Shifting between house, trap, experimental, ambient pop and melodic bass, sometimes even within a single track. This refusal to be pinned down by stylistic borders reflects his view of music as an emotional continuum rather than a fixed category.
