Lights

Recycled Loops

DJ, electronic music and, sporadically, radio jingle producer. Graphics designer. Beerhouser, whose real name is Maciej Tkaczyk, was born in 1979 in Olsztyn, Poland. He still lives there. He loves whisky and beer, doesn't smoke cigarettes but is fond of cigars. Beerh, as friends call him, often spends time out in clubs and pubs. In his free time, Beerh likes listening to rock, acid jazz and sometimes blues and of course electronic music.

At first I composed for myself and friends ('90s). These were simply experiments with sound on Atari and Amiga. The tones howled and creaked but were inspired by the first records of Acen, Prodigy, Altern8, Blame, Zero B and others - more or less rave and break fields. First compositions, which could be played in clubs, rised on Amiga (1997-1998). Soon PCs with astounding possibilities appeared and enabled to improve the tone of existing tracks as well as compose new ones. I was able to perform longer sets. Everything was going well so I got the kick for further work. Few possibilities of playing appeared. I met some people who invited me to take part in various events, i.e. cult techno parties in Kolejarz (where I met more ambitious tastes and braver sounds) or festival of digital music in Lodz organized in Forum Fabricum - a place with amazing atmosphere. In the meantime - countless events (bigger and smaller) in northern, eastern and central Poland took place (with Chris Liebing, Kazu Okura and many, many djs from Poland. Since the turn of 2002-2003 I started mixing from the black records putting in my own tracks in the sets (analog and digital vinyl systems). Now (2011) I'm trying out my new toys - Akai midi controllers with Traktor software, mixing everything with everything.

Currently, I mainly deal with graphic design and my professional work. Music comes second, but there are occasions to recall the taste of communing with clubs or music production.
