Wow, what a ride! Super stoked and full of gratitude for having the opportunity to play tunes of my favorite Bush Techno wizards on our self-built festival stage during this year's edition of Wald und Bach Festival. 

Directly following after a performance of firespinning artists, the scene was set to start melodic and funky. The session continued to get steeper — allowing to go deeper and deeper into the musical realms of contemporary and emerging Bush Techno artists. More and more, the dancefloor turned into a jungle of euphoric, organic tunes and wicked basslines. ❤️

Recorded in June 2023

DJ & Producer of groovy, smoothy, funky, chunky psychedelic music.

Groovy Smoothy crafts a sound that is as precise as it is playful, a deep dive into psychedelic, techno-driven rhythms full of hypnotic energy and vibrant textures. Rooted in Zenonesque, Dark Progressive, and Psy Tech, his music bridges the dancefloor and the subconscious.

His musical path began at the age of four behind his grandmother’s piano. Later came drums, guitar, and live performances as a singer-songwriter and band member. He started DJing in 2010, and a life-changing experience at a festival in the Australian outback in 2014 led him to psychedelic electronic music and the culture surrounding it.

Back in Germany, his homebase in Darmstadt/Frankfurt, he began playing in clubs, events, and festivals from 2016 on. In 2021, he started producing his own music fusing psychedelic aesthetics with solid techno foundations heavily influenced by the sounds and rhythms he witnessed in Australia.

His sound can be described as a rich musical smoothie: groovy, deep, dark and light, structured yet organic. Each set and track is a journey, both physical and mental, through layered rhythms, modular textures, and subtle sonic storytelling. Somewhere between minimalistic and complex.

Energy travelling through sound spreading deep down into consciousness.
