Haris Voloder, aka Harido Benz, has met with techno music since his early childhood. In Germany, where he spent many years, he met with the true techno sound with the help from his aunt, otherwise a fan of good music, and a visitor to famous festivals such as Loveparade 94 'and Mayday. At the end of the nineties he returned to his native Sarajevo, where with the help of modern technology and the Internet he began to discover all the magic of techno and his subgenres. Hard techno and acid techno were those to whom Haris devoted most of his attention and interest, and studied them to the smallest detail. At the age of fifteen, he receives the first mixer as a gift from his older cousin, who at that time played music at city discos and clubs.
At the age of seventeen he begins to make small private parties for his friends, but soon he realizes that the masses actually like to listen to more commercially sounds, not real techno. Shortly thereafter he met DJ Keon and started making parties for lovers of techno, but also for his soul. Because of all the familiar situations of finding a job in our country, Harris decides to work in Vienna in his twenties. There he had the opportunity to enjoy the real charm of the Vienna techno underground. Two years later, he returns to his hometown and meets with the NN Nights team. It shakes the speakers again to the maximum, and in the meantime online "NN Radio" is launched, where every Saturday from 19 to 00:00 plays its music. In his sets you can hear the magic tracks from the '90s, 2000s and certainly the latest tracks wisely combined that make Harris a definition of pure-blooded techno ambassador.
Some of the role models are Emmanuel Top, whose tracks are pure acid symphony and the synonym of the real techno (Emmanuel Top - Turkish Bazaar), Sven Väth and Jeff Mills with their casual style of mixing the impossible, Dave Clarke for his sharpness of sound, fast hip-hop transitions, courage in terms of choosing music, and the fact that when the "Baron" plays, it is impossible to remain indifferent. Another very important influence left Dj Rush with his bouncy hard techno, and Cristian Varela with his tribal techno. Of course, the techno hammer Chris Liebing should not be missed, and some other legends like Alexandar Kowalski, Carl Cox, Dave the drummer, Ben Sims, Hanson & Schrempf, Marco Bailey, Du'Art, Richie Hawtin (Plastikman).

Musician, Writer, Producer. Formerly of Ultrasound & Minuteman, keys player with Jamie T, Beady Eye, Engineers, Iain Archer, Chris Robinsons New Earth Mud, Beth Rowley.
