It’s all about the surprises.
 
I get behind the console and go where the flashing lights and music take me. I play in the moment, judging my next move by the pulse of the crowd. It is challenging yet exciting to communicate with people through music; to have the power to control moods and movement.
 
I try to keep it fresh, real and true at all times. I need to enjoy listening to what I’m playing. Repeatedly surprising myself with an unpredictable mix or effect, pushes me to take it further. Because the vibe of a crowd can’t be foretold, I always have to play with an open mind. I love long sets and opt to open my sets as it prepares the mood for the entire night. 

I don’t follow genres, and I wouldn’t slot myself under one either. As a DJ I’m constantly evolving, being inspired and contributing my own style to the industry. Assorted influences stir me, and it shows on the mixing table. I make music I am proud of. 

Electronic blended with deep house, minimal, tech-house, progressive house and techno is rapidly becoming my signature. As electronic music is still at a very niche stage, I often have to accommodate the taste of mass club-goers by dishing out commercial dance numbers. Experimenting often drives my music into unplanned territory and gives the crowd tunes they didn’t even know they wanted. 

From being a wide-eyed 18 yr old mixing at ‘My bar’ in 2002, I’ve come a long way. I now take my music to elite clubs all over India including Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad and Bangalore. I’ve had the opportunity to showcase my work at the Sunburn Festival, Goa and Volvo Ocean Fest, Cochin. In being named the first runner up in the Beatport Cocoon Remix competition, with over 300 contenders, I know that my efforts as an artiste are being recognized on a global plane.  ‘The most stylish DJ’ award at the Globus Style Awards 2010 was a very welcome compliment!

My residency stint at ‘Bike & Barrel’ and, of course, ‘Speed’ played a colossal role in propelling my career and popularity forward.  With time and technology I grew to create a sound that was distinctly mine. Although not a lot of my music has been captured on video, the quality is apparent from the dedicated fan following I have amassed over the years. I mix, create and recreate music for those who want it and support it. Stand alone DJ sets to original compositions and producing – I do it all.

By developing on my individual style, and being faithful to my musical character I hope to leave an everlasting mark on the music movement.



There's only one obvious thing in the sound of Neelix: Relentless forward boost. Exactly how this boost is generated is not obvious at all – which makes it catchy in the most subliminal way possible. The German artist playfully incorporates elements of Progressive Trance, Progressive House and Electro. However, the actual magic of Neelix happens somewhere inbetween those genres. For 10 years already this unique formula made him a crowd-pleaser at a great variety of dance events on all 5 continents, including monumental festivals like Electric Daisy Carnival, Tomorrowland or Boom.

It's 2005 when Neelix stirs a revolution. His album 'No Way To Leave' fulfills all the expectations of the dance floor – but it does so in the most unexpected way. Within no time, party goers refer to his highly dynamic hybrid style simply as 'Neelix sound'. It's the beginning of a stellar career that keeps building and building – just like a typical Neelix track itself. During the last decade, the music of Neelix has inspired a whole generation of producers, it can be found in the collections of countless DJ, in film productions, and in the catalogues of prestigious labels like for instance SpinTwist Records or Paul Oakenfold’s legendary Perfecto imprint.
