dancing to electronic music is still subversive. surrendering our bodies to the music creates common utopian spaces – answers to the senselessness of contemporary life

To deejaying I came via detours on the Way of St. James, in the summer of 2012. I mixed the tracks that accompanied me on my journey to create a DVD with memories in the form of pictures and videos. This is how my first Ableton Mix was created. In those days I was not aware of the potential behind this program. In the years before I produced my own tracks without any success. At nights I listened the same beat hours for hours. First live sets were created. But they never lived up to my expectations. What I like to hear is rare. The one beat where every note has its place. Crystal clear and driving.

Electronic music has always been an integral part of my life. In the 80s, influenced by my daddy and his love for Revox & Technics. The "Neue deutsche Welle"  ran up and down. I like the sound of the synthesizers. Pink Floyd was always there acoustically. When Culture Beat, Snap and U96 appeared on the scene, I was finally influenced by my current music style. Enigma. Completely new tones. I am just thinking back to the time when I recorded mixtapes with my double cassette deck. The Hessentag '95 with Mark Spoon and Sven Väth comes to my mind. Or the annual live broadcast of Energy on Swiss radio. Even back then there were such incredibly cool sets and pieces. In school we dealed with tapes of the past weekends. Broadcaster like Evosonic, BBC Radio One and Sputnik now broadcast techno regularly. The clubnights with Talla, Taucher & DJ DAG were the non plus ultra. For me there was no other form of audible music.

With the first CD compilations like Trancemaster and Rave Mission I finally started to play in the late 90s. On 99 Penny events. A funny time. But I decided to celebrate. For listening. For the Rave.

The Millennium Energy was legendary. To celebrate the Love Parade in Berlin with one million people, unforgettable. Mayday and Sonne Mond Sterne Festival-just amazing. In the years around 2000, things got really intense. I left almost nothing out. Schranz! I miss the good old days a little bit, like dancing the soul out of your body on Sunday mornings at Nature One with DJ DAG. We're poisoned.

Thanks to internet and flatrate I only listened to Frisky Radio via iTunes. A completely new era. Via eDonkey there was sound for download. I simply didn't need anything else to satisfy my desire for good music. Sasha's first "Involver" album was the decisive factor for my style today. From now on, digital purity was in the foreground. For me, this music has become a way of life. The older I became, the more intense. That's how I sometimes have the feeling. What makes me especially happy is that techno has grown up with me.

The world is a sum of discs
