Herr Krank

Herr Krank is the stage name of Louis Le Luyer, a French producer associated with jazz house. Originally from Normandy, he is based in Paris, where he has also worked as a label manager for Helios Records.

Le Luyer records and releases music under the Herr Krank name, and has also been credited under his own name. His output has been connected to a small network of independent dance labels, including Helios Records as well as imprints such as Average Records, Chevry Records, House Hats Records, and Exploited Club, reflecting a career rooted in club-oriented releases rather than major-label projects.

As Herr Krank, Le Luyer’s work is generally framed within jazz house, a style that draws on jazz-inflected harmony and instrumentation while maintaining house music’s rhythmic structure and dance-floor focus. His activity as both an artist and label manager places him within the practical, self-directed end of electronic music production, where releasing, curating, and organizing music can overlap within the same circle of collaborators and platforms.
