AVACast - Claus Backslash

My musical journey started when I was about six years old when I heard someone playing music outside my house. 

This particular music was DJ hype at the old rave dreamscape. That was it I was hooked￼￼￼

As a ￼10-year-old I asked for a CD called Rave generation.I was then introduced to the prodigy/ altern8 /and Acen

Early teens I decided to start buying vinyls and DJing. I moved away from the rave scene and started listening to early house music ￼Brandon Block Alex P Carl Cox￼

These have massive influences on my music tastes and life however very early into my DJ career I discovered OceanLab a.k.a. Above & Beyond that was a complete game changer that was it trance music was for me￼

I’ve DJs at small venues big venues and absolutely loved it

I do enjoy mixing lots of different genres from Balearic house/ funky house/trance /and hard house￼￼

My  main focus is now power trance/tech trance 

I use all these different music genres in my production and try new different elements from different decades to make my tracks stand out.

I hope the sets that get uploaded you enjoy￼

Review:

His career as edm DJ started in 1998 in the legendary trance-club "A2" in the town of Peine (Germany).He was able to let the techno-crowd go crazy on every event while performing with the top of the national and international DJ-stars as there were:

It was the time you were able to watch and listen to Claus Backslash on all other main events as for example as the permanent local hero of the "Reincarnation Rave" in Germany, on "Radio Sunshine Live" and other well known radio stations.

In the beginning of 2002  Claus Backslash meet the producers of the 'Plasticstudio' of that time:

Tom Porcell "Funabashi" and later "Alphazone" & "Ralph Novell".

From the first moment on everyone got along with each other so well, that they decided to start some new trance-projects together.
