Daniel Kovacs, also known as @kovinator tells us: When I was at school, I always tried to spread a positive mood with my music at private parties and I always found myself trying to encourage people to dance.
A few years ago I became more and more enthusiastic about the techno scene and finally got to know the majority of today's @ponyhof_official collective at a festival.
With the founding of the Ponyhof Collective and the feeling of being part of something special, I took the opportunity to learn from the other DJs in our group and get back into the game.
In my sets you will mostly find playful melodic elements with an exciting structure, as well as tracks with vocals, because they usually have even more recognition value.
I'm looking forward to the next events and opportunities to learn and develop myself further.

"We have had a deep friendship for some time and we have been able to experience a lot together over the past ten years," reveals the initial duo Wille zum Wahnsinn, consisting of Simon and Max. In the meantime, the musicians' open project has evolved from a trio into a quartet, continues to evolve and can change at any time in its general composition, as well as ad-hoc for individual performances behind the decks. Mex-Heimlich and Jules Vega enrich the open art-collective through their mutual friendship and their creative and stormy minds.
Wille zum Wahnsinn's productions are characterized by frontal synthesizer themes, rolling basses and arpeggiators of the past. The situation is similar with the DJ sets: the focus is on having fun together and creating various moods. It is important for the members to have a good time in any artistic negotiation - in the studio, recording synthesizers, on the dance floor, hanging out together or behind the decks.

Grown up between dense pine forests 🌲🌲 and icy mountains 🏔, tANNENBERG equipped himself musically in Mama Austria‘s dodgiest rock basements, in the living room of his Santana-enthusiastic musico padre from Central America and the Berliner club scene on the leave-covered and, above all, stormy shores of the river Spree.
💿 tANNENBERG‘s first single Sea Moon Waves (Beyond the Moon Records 2021) offers a teasing outlook into a new universe of sounds blowing from the frozen glaciers right to the hottest dancefloors.
💿 With his first album Im Tannenwald (Hug Records 2022), tANNENBERG keeps on developing his fusion of naturalistic impressions & noises, electronic beats & bluesy guitars. Dreamy he strolls through winterly magic forests and lets the snowflakes trickle down sunrays on enlightened forest clearings. On these winding trails, tANNENBERG receives support from Pulli & Chomba and Thias
Raun, who fill the magic winter forests up with their remixed star shootings. Stunning!
