I started mixing 5 months ago — mostly out of curiosity, but driven by a deep love for music. I'm not trying to be the next Laurent Garnier or anything like that; I'm just here to explore, learn, and share the sounds that move me. Here's my work.

Founder / DJ for Kapital Music, Edinburgh

Born in Dublin, Ireland. Barry O’Connell is an Edinburgh-based DJ, producer and founder of the forward-thinking techno and electronic club night, Kapital.

He has been instrumental in crafting Kapital’s defining sound, which takes in everything from deep driving techno, to minimal tech house and trippy melodic electronics.

Of his DJ style, Barry says, “I enjoy trying to make a set flow well and I try to stay clear of a constant kick driven 4×4 techno sound, but like to think of it more as a melodic journey with the odd moment of twisted madness”.

Previous Kapital bookings include: Jon Hopkins, Gui Boratto, James Holden, Dominik Eulberg, Michael Mayer, Stephan Bodzin,  Gaiser, Adriatique, Matador, Patrice Baumel, Mathew Jonson, Anja Schneider, Ellen Allien, Extrawelt, Daniel Avery, Max Cooper, Ivan Smagghe, Oliver Huntemann, Nathan Fake, Paul Ritch, Ryan Davis, Alex Smoke, Pier Bucci, Damian Lazarus, Paul Daley (Leftfield)...

Marius Tüffers, bekannt als akafollowman bzw. DJ MT, begann seine musikalische Reise 1997 mit den ersten Technics 1210-Plattenspielern. Geprägt von der zweiten Welle des Chicago House fand er früh Inspiration bei Künstlern wie Glenn Underground, Ron Trent,Larry Heard ,Juan Atkins, Gene Farris, Paul Johnson, DJ Sneak und Ian Pooley und Masters at Work .

Ab 2000 spielte er seine ersten Sets in Venlo (NL), Düsseldorf und Köln. Zwischen 2004 und 2012 arbeitete er im Music Store Köln, wo er seine technischen Kenntnisse vertiefte und gleichzeitig Schüler der Vibra DJ School sowie der Modern Music School Köln war. Seit 2006 produziert er mit Ableton Suite eigene Tracks und entwickelt dabei eine Klangsprache, die Emotion, Energie und Groove miteinander verbindet.

🎧 My DJ journey began in 1995 – not in a club, but in my childhood bedroom. Two tape decks, a few vinyls, and a lot of patience: I spent hours trying to create smooth transitions by timing play and pause just right. Not exactly elegant – but full of passion. Inspired by 90s US hip-hop and heavy drum and bass beats from London, it didn’t take long before I landed my first gigs. Soon after: resident DJ at the legendary E-Werk. Boom.

🔥 Late 90s to 2006? Wild, loud, and unforgettable. The Quer-Club and Betty Ford in Hamburg became my second home. Every night was an adventure, every crowd a new story.

🍼 And then? I became a father. Swapped turntables for diapers, sold my record collection for €500 – to furnish the nursery, not for eternity. The music paused, life played in a different rhythm.

⏳ 20 years later, she appeared – a special woman who didn’t just bring love, but also something I hadn’t felt in a long time: my passion for music. Not just nostalgia – the real spark.

🔁 And now? I’m putting the needle back on the record – with the digital sound right alongside it. Old love meets new vibe. And it feels damn good.
