Artist/Label Owner Magic Music(CH)

MAGIC KEY IS THE OWNER OF THE LABEL “MAGIC MUSIC PRODUCTION“.
HE WAS BORN IN BERNE ON FEBRUARY 8, 1982. IN HIS SPARE TIME HIS FATHER WAS A DJ AND HE ALSO LET SOUND SYSTEMS. SO MUSIC WAS OMNIPRESENT DURING MAGIC KEYS CHILDHOOD AND HE WAS MUCH INSPIRED BY HIS FA-THER. HE GREW UP WITH THE EVENT TECHNIQUES OF HIS FATHER AND PARTICIPATED REGULARLY IN THE INSTALLA-TION OF THE AUDIO TECHNIQUE OF MUSICAL EVENTS. MAGIC KEY WAS ESPECIALLY ATTRACTED BY THE RECORDS OF HIS FATHER, AND HE STARTED TO PLAY IN SECRET WITH HIS FATHER’S EQUIPMENT.
DURING HIS SCHOOLDAYS HE HAS PLAYED ELECTRIC GUITAR AND ELECTRIC BASS IN A SCHOOL-BAND FOR THREE YEARS, AND THUS GAINED EXPERIENCE IN THE HANDLING OF AUDIO TECHNIQUE EARLY ON.
MAGIC KEY DISCOVERED HIS LOVE FOR ELECTRONIC MUSIC THROUGH HIS EARLY EXPERIENCE IN 2000 IN THE SWISS CLUB SCENE. IN THE VERY SAME YEAR, HE BOUGHT HIS FIRST TWO DISC PLAYERS (TECHNICS SL1200 MK2) WHICH ARE STILL IN USE TODAY.
HE HAD HIS FIRST GIG IN 2001 AT AN AFTER-HOUR AT THE BIERHÜBELI UNDERGROUND CLUB. AT THAT TIME HIS MU-SIC-STYLE WAS HEAVILY INFLUENCED BY ACID- AND HARD-TRANCE. GRADUALLY IMPROVING HIS MIXTURE OF PRO-GRESSIVE AND TECHNO, HE PLAYED AS RESIDENT DJ IN THE BERNESE ASSOCIATION “7TH HEAVEN” AND HE HAD A BIG SHARE IN THE PROMOTION AND THE SUCCESS OF 7TH HEAVEN.
IN 2004 MAGIC KEY DISCOVERED HIS FONDNESS AND ALSO HIS TALENT FOR THE COMPOSITION OF PSY-TRANCE. SINCE THEN HE HAS PLAYED SEVERAL ELECTRONIC STYLES OF MUSIC BUT NEVERTHELESS REMAINED TRUE TO PSY-TRANCE. FOR TEN YEARS HE HAS PLAYED PSY-TRANCE AS RESIDENT DJ AT EVENTS OF T-EMOTIONS AND ARJUNA/7TH HEAVEN.
IN THE FOLLOWING YEARS MAGIC KEY SIMULTANEOUSLY STARTED THE BUILD-UP OF HIS LABEL “MAGIC MUSIC” AND HIS STUDIO “MAGIC MUSIC PRODUCTION”. IN 2009 THE LABEL ORGANIZES ITS FIRST EVENT AND SINCE 2012 MAGIC MUSIC HAS REGULARLY ORGANIZED THE EVENT SERIES “GROOVETEK” ORIENTING ITSELF TOWARD THE GENRES DE-TROIT, PROGRESSIVE AND TECHNO.
BEING ONE OF THREE ORGANIZERS OF THE “PROJECT: EVERGLADES FESTIVAL” IN SMÖGEN (SWE) IN 2014 MAGIC KEY FINALLY EXPERIENCED HIS INTERNATIONAL BREAKTHROUGH. THE FESTIVAL ON TWO FLOORS, ONE PSY- AND THE OTHER TECHNO, IS RECKONED THE BIGGEST OF ITS KIND IN SWEDEN.
