SPECIAL ISSUES, the producer who has been known by many embarrassing names over the past 15 years, but now he has arrived and ready to spread his quality music over the planet! His music style is quite multifaceted and diverse, he cannot stick to one genre. His repertoire includes light vocal and deep house, techouse, melodic tribal and afro house, all shades of groovy techno, but perhaps he is the most outstanding in minimal and progressive styles.

He does not spare the time to send his latest tracks to many deserving DJs, which is why his tracks are played all over the world, mentioning the biggest ones, e.g. Solomun or other greats of Diynamic or Innervisions. In addition, he shares a lot of his own music with the general public, which can be downloaded for free by anyone.

Special Issues also acts as a DJ, he has been a resident of several clubs in Budapest, and in 2023 he also created a very successful live mix podcast in many styles, called "The Punishment".

His studio, Special Issues Music, does mixing and mastering work for  producers over the world with his passion for the sound engineer profession since he was 2 years old.

His future plans include touring the world with his music and creating his own label, so the electronic music fans can get as much quality vibes as possible!

From the start of the 1990’s Captain Knuckles started collecting vinyls and made mixes for fun.
