Alex Niggemann @ LeBain NYC 07.08.12

Toygan’s passion for music emerged as early as he was 12 years old when he started programming music in his first computer commodore 64. This experience has always been his blueprint in his DJing style in the venues: he likes ‘old school’ which is why he is also called ‘manual toygan’ by his peers and mates. He loves to party for hours, share musical experiences and believe in the sacred power of afterhours that brings music lovers together closer in a higher existential state of mind. After zigzagging between Copenhagen, Rotterdam, Munich and London for years and finding his soulmate Toygan is currently a ‘resident’ evil in Istanbul EDM scene.
