Fritz von Runte is a British DJ and Producer based in Manchester, England,[1] known for his remixes and original music projects.

Fritz is recognised for remixing artists such as 808 State, New Order, Pet Shop Boys, David Bowie, Dire Straits and Lily Allen.[2] Notable works include The Beatles Hell, The Beatles Hate,[3][4][5] and Lily Allen Remixed, which is reputed to be the most downloaded album in the UK.[6][7][8]

In 2003, he began a series of mashups titled Lycantropii.[9]

In 2011, he created Bowie 2001, which incorporates samples from Stanley Kubrick's 2001 in the remixing of David Bowie's catalogue.[10][11]

In 2020, Fritz released The Last Album, his first new original album in 11 years, featuring collaborations with Leslie Winer, Beca, Peter Barakan, and long time collaborators Graham Massey and Gary Asquith.[12][13]

In 2024, he launched TRAMBIENT,[14] an innovative free musical app designed to enhance Metrolink journeys in Manchester by providing a personalised soundtrack that syncs with stations along the Bury to Shudehill tram route, creating a unique listening experience for riders.[15]

Fritz von Runte works with the American record label 24 Hour Service Station, and releases his own material under the anti-war non-profit label Marshall Records.[16] He regularly remixes for the self-produced WinterHits series.[17]
