Steffi*, also known as "Mind Crash", calls Bremen his home and has been involved in the techno scene since late 2009. It was at this time that he was introduced to the subcultural club project, ZUCKER, which sparked his passion for underground raves and DJing. Slowly but surely, he began to make a name for himself in the local scene, supporting underground events and eventually becoming a resident DJ at ZUCKER CLUB. He also collaborated closely with AUDITIVE, a Bremen-based vinyl label, and organized regular, in-depth label parties.

In 2011, Steffi* was invited to join the party series "Heimlich," founded by Bebetta & Le Palf, which has since become one of the most popular parties in Bremen. Meanwhile, he had the opportunity to play in various clubs and festivals across Germany, such as Fusion, Wilde Möhre, Keller Club, Sisyphos, Kater Blau, Salon Zur Wilden Renate, and his current favorite venue, Zugvøgel Festival.

In 2014, Steffi moved to Berlin to gain a deeper understanding of the scene and its clubs and to participate in events. It was on the recommendation of a good friend that he attended one of the first Zugvøgel Festivals in 2016 and was immediately captivated by the independent work and creativity of the organizers. He made the decision to support this project with passion from that moment on.

Steffi's musical preferences as a DJ are characterized by his love for deep, emotional, and particularly melancholic music, as well as hypnotic, driving, and dramatic powerful music. Since the beginning of his career, he has aimed to combine these characteristics into a recognizable style, which sometimes makes him a secret weapon, especially for morning hours, afterhours, or closing sets in clubs or at festivals.

Die späten Achtziger in Gelsenkirchen: Das Hoch des Bergbaus ist vorbei, das Zechensterben schon weit vorangeschritten. Doch in einer der letzten Loren wird Arne als Baby im Viervierteltakt von Förderturm zu Förderturm geschippert. Aufgewachsen zwischen Kohle und Stahl, Pilsbier und Punkrock, besinnt er sich in seinen frühen Zwanzigern zu seinen Wurzeln und widmet sich wieder krächzenden Geräuschen und dreckigen Hallen. Zunächst vorne links auf dem Floor mit leidendem Trommelfell, dann ab 2010 Perspektivwechsel hinter die Decks. Nach unzähligen lokalen Projekten, hunderten Stunden Play-Button drücken und Knöpfchen drehen in verrauchten Hallen, war es an der Zeit für frischere Luft. So schloss er sich dem bunten Wanderzirkus von 3000Grad im schönen Mecklenburg an, um fortan von „Wustrow nach Paris“ mit seinen Sets durch die Republik zu tingeln.
