Biography Crookram, whose real name is Chris Angelovski, is a musician from The Hague. In 2006, he was invited by the Hungarian Budabeats label, an internet-only operation, to release music through their website. Crookram had been brought to Budabeat's attention by a Hungarian musician, who had received a favourable review from Crookram via their MySpace page. His first release, 19/76, consisted of five tracks, all downloadable for free. Through Windows (2010) received significant airplay on VPRO's 3VOOR12.
