Balazs aka HOOPERFUNK is a versatile DJ with a world of experience under his belt, in the night scene since the early 90s growing up in Toronto, Canada. He was born in Budapest and moved to Berlin in 2005, where he quickly found his feet sounding 'different' in the land of techno. He now holds residencies with Berlin's BalearicFreaks collective + SoberSensation + Lost My Love To Italy Events and he also runs his own weekly summer OpenAir event series Hoopla! @ Rosengarten Berlin, Mitte where he not only provides music but also movement with big hula-hoops for guests to play with .oO° 

His style is Balearic where the soul of the music is the key, the groove is deep and infectious and the feel is always sunny and warm - ideally suited for small to medium size clubs, open-airs, dance bars, cocktail bars, beach-bars as well as events and festivals. Over the last 20 years he got to play around the world from Ibiza, to Shanghai, to the beaches of Italy as well as the Berlin club, bar, event and festival circuit, delivering his brand of Funkin House. His influences come from a wide variety of places, starting with a music loving family listening to pirate radio from behind the iron-curtain through the 70s in Budapest, then moving to and growing up in Canada in the 80s, starting a business MADMEN Productions running parties & fashion events in Toronto for about 10 years, surrounded by Classic House, Funk, Soul, Jazzy HipHop in the clubs and a smorgasbord of underground sounds in the finest afterhours of the time. Upon moving to Berlin in 2005, he lived through the end game of the crazy post-wall hedonism of off-licence parties with frequent whirlwind trips to Ibiza, where he found and fell in love with the ethos of the classic Balearic vibe, which he bases his sets around * nothing to do with the for-the-tourist cheesy commercial big clubs :) His vibe is ‘familiar with a twist’, 'genre-fluid' and ‘full of nice surprises’ ...not only musically, but also in influencing the environments where he plays to create an atmosphere and extra movement to his sets, including using big colourful hula-hoops from the business he runs with his partner HooplaBerlin (www.hooplaberlin.com). 

Aside from club & bar gigs, he is also available for select special events public & private / art events / promo & marketing in-store events / trade & corporate functions ...with or without HulaHoops.
