Not a real DJ
Looking for a new wave trance/house/techno 🔎

32 years of electronic music ...raver since 1992, Berlin.
I am a passionate bongo player if you need any live support. Yo quiero la SAMBA!!!
But that´s by far not it because before, and even now, I had listened and I am still listening to many other music styles from 70ies Glam Rock, Hard Rock, LA Glam Metal to Death Metal, from Neue Deutsche Welle, New Wave, Soul Music, Gothic, Rockabilly, 60ies Garage Punk to Punk Rock. 
It all started when my mother´s boyfriend Rolf E. moved in with us including his 2000 records when I was five years old. He was the first guy I know who recorded his own tapes with the newest music from the British Forces radio channel BFBS in the Eightees.
I remember when I was ten years old my first record was from Amanda Lear. I was fascinated by her female look and her deep masculine voice ....
The bands which influenced me the most were:  Roxy Music, B´52s, the Fuzztones,  Siouxie and the Banshees, Sisters of Mercy, Guns ´n Roses,  Metallica, Slayer, Mötley Crüe, Hanoi Rocks, Nirwana, Massiv Attack, and many more.
