Dancing techno at the clubs since -98. 
Starting DJing. In my own technomixes
I want to combine my dear intrests scifi, latin music and spirituality. 


Isn't it so that it does good to your mentality to allow yourself occasionally to retreat into You on the dance floor?  
It can be a space to calm down, reflect on your life, and current state.  Or just to let Go. 

I have a selection of material that, at least for me, has created a powerful sense of capability — that kind of melancholic euphoria, you probably know what I mean. Isn't it good to go there as well, you think? 

Shared experience and piecing that together is sacredly important to me. I am willing to take risks when crafting that together. 

Over the past year, I’ve more often managed to create that “in the same boat” feeling on the dance floor. That’s the most important thing for me: when I see people exchanging approving looks, collectively building a co-created experience. With my set, especially, I want to try to weave the dance floor into a shared experience.

I’ve noticed that having a few surprises up my sleeve in terms of music selection really helps with that. When the crowd is even a little on edge, wondering what’s coming next, it keeps that good tension and collaborative vibe alive.

I’m happy to put myself in a vulnerable position — even risk becoming laughed in a situation where some electronic music purist might say, “You can’t do that, it’s tasteless crap.” But then it ends up working on the floor in that moment. And if it doesn’t, that’s a small price to pay for when it does.

I believe emotional intelligence is essential for a great DJ, alongside great musical taste and a huge collection of records. Hundreds of nights at the dancefloor will also help to get the job done. 

I take this craft very seriously, but that doesn’t mean I can’t approach it with a touch of playfulness. I' active atm and in the past year I have played from Après-Ski in the Alps to Clubs, Bars to Underground Raves to regional Burning Man events. 

I spend hours daily digging new music. I have a huge collection, ranging from disco to minimal, progressive, and deep house, as well as techno.  

I'm always excited to play. I have a deep addiction to moments where magic and emotions are co-created on the dancefloor ✨✨

"Digging deep into the psychological effects and ripples that influence our minds while listening to underground electronic music has never ceased to amuse me. Each beat tells a story, each drop evokes emotion, and every track is a journey into the depths of consciousness. Join me on this sonic exploration, where the rhythms resonate and the melodies inspire. Let's lose ourselves in the layers of techno sounds together!"
