I'm born 1984 in East Germany. 1989 the Berlin Wall was History. When I was 6, my parents moved with me to a small Bavarian village. My passion for Music starts with MTV and VIVA… and my deep love for electronic Music began early. On my daily walk to School, tracks by Faithless-Insomnia, U96-das Boot or the Prodigy- Firestarter played blaringly on my Walk or Disc man. Lifetime flew by nothing When I was 14 me & some Friends went to the Love Parade for the first time. Our Parents did not know anything on off course there were Consequences after all, but …as if that had bothered us. I, or rather we, grew older and celebrated Techno in Clubs like Ultraschall / Munich, Alcatraz / Landau, Treibhaus / Meilenhofen, Airport / Würzburg, Rakete & Hirsch / Nuremberg, and Ohrakel in Ingolstadt. We celebrate excessive and surreal Party's with Sound from DJs like Sven Väth, Gayle Sun, Dave Clarke, Jay Denham, Chris Liebing, DJ Rush, DJ Hell, Monika Kruse, Ben Sims, Gary Beck, Richie Hawtin, Mark Reeve, Tapesh, Pig and Dan. Gaiser, Pan Pot, James Ruskin, Karotte, Adam Beyer, Josh Wink, Frank Lorber, Luke Slater, Steve Rachmad, Marco Bailey and many more…. In the early 2000s, I finished my apprenticeship as a Baker and went on a journey abroad for work. Started with Shanghai, Hurghada, Las Vegas, and at least London. I've been to many Clubs all over the World, but London, especially at the End of 2000, was a special peak Time of my Life. The Fabric Sound system and weekly Line up from WYS with top Headliners and DJs like Cormac, Peter Pixzel, and Jacob Husley was a Mecca for Techno every Sunday Night. The years abroad build & teach me in everything as a Human and who I am today. I saw and learned a lot about different Cultures, People, and the World as it once was. The rest is History.
