Aki (Dj Aki Dala / Dj Treibsand) musical exploration began in the late 80´s. After playing an e-organ, he noticed a rising interest for electronic dance music - especially for the techno & house genre. A certain sympathy for psychedelic music and its background increased around 1997. Immersed in a new world of musical possibilities, Aki was impressed by the culture as a whole: arts, music & decor, as well as the mind frame of the scene. Curiosity, fascination & enthusiasm drove him to initiate an event project called „Akitoka“ with buddies in 2002. Mainly focused on outdoor events, Akitoka did also organise many indoor parties during the following 10 years. Playing dj- sets at underground events from 2005 on, he was/is known under the name „Dj Treibsand“. More than a decade later Aki spinned the decks at countless events in western Germany and beyond.

His definition of sound covered a dynamic & warm, straightforward bassline, in combination with pretty balanced micro- shots of melodic chunks and a vast repertoire of effect- complexity.  Influenced by the forest genre for a couple of years, he intended to evolve to that certain kind of musical expression. Catching the audience with an average speed around 148bpm, Aki performs on a more spacious and less melodic, but still straight & forward level nowadays.
