My DJ story began at the turn of the millennium when
I explored music genres such as commercial, R'N'B,
Hip-Hop and electronica. I regularly performed as a
resident in Slovenian clubs and provided the audience
with unique musical experiences. But the turning point
happened in 2019 when I visited Ibiza. This experience had a profound effect on my musical approach and once again encouraged me to return to using vinyl records, a practice I consider rare these days, but which brought new depth and authenticity to my performances.
I’m influenced by the names like Patrice Baumel, Sven Vath, Roman Flugel, Jonathan Kaspar, Guy J,Jimi Jules, Robag Wruhme, Dominik Eulberg…

“Purveyor of deep, infectious dance grooves and a feel-good atmosphere.”
That’s how Cristian describes himself as a DJ. Never afraid to go too deep, his emotive musical selections are his own therapy. Having grown up on his parents’ eclectic combination of funk and rock music (Queen, Morris Day,...), European electronica (Kraftwerk, Daft Punk,...), synth-infused 80s music (Depeche Mode, New Order), disco & house music (Masters at Work, Joey Negro, Earth, Wind & Fire,...) all which became infused with his own love for both techno and video game music, Cristian ended up with quite a mixed spectrum of musical influence. Today, this translates into sets where he picks apart and infuses together all the pieces of this music that he loves best: beautiful synth work, ethereal backdrops, brooding basslines, and occasional vocal hooks… all on top of a pronounced foot-shuffling house beat.
