Simtech, born Simon Laux, is a passionate DJ and artist from Landau in der Pfalz. Starting at 17, he quickly made waves with his energetic and organic sets across clubs like Karl Kinski in Karlsruhe and later Baalsaal and La Cova in Hamburg, where he performed after winning the Rytm Noir contest. Since June 2025, he's been back in Landau, reflecting on his journey and grateful to everyone who’s supported him. His style fuses groove, hardtechno, and trance into unforgettable, atmospheric performances.

OBSCUR | Sessions SIMTECH

Born and raised in Southwest Germany, NQRZU delivers raw pressure and driving energy – moving between Schranz, groove, and bounce.

The very first steps happened back in 2010 on a pair of old, half-broken CDJ-100s. Not perfect, but enough to spark the passion for DJing. Things really kicked off in early 2022 with my first mixer – that’s when I started shaping my sound piece by piece.

My debut set took place in Hamburg in 2022. Since then, I’ve played in Karlsruhe, Landau, and beyond – from birthday raves to club nights and my own events.

Whether it’s a club, a field, or an abandoned warehouse – for me, these places are more than just venues. They’re spaces where people can let go of everything through electronic music. Hard kicks, rolling grooves, and bouncy vibes – always with the goal of diving into collective ecstasy.

32 years of electronic music ...raver since 1992, Berlin.
I am a passionate bongo player if you need any live support. Yo quiero la SAMBA!!!
But that´s by far not it because before, and even now, I had listened and I am still listening to many other music styles from 70ies Glam Rock, Hard Rock, LA Glam Metal to Death Metal, from Neue Deutsche Welle, New Wave, Soul Music, Gothic, Rockabilly, 60ies Garage Punk to Punk Rock. 
It all started when my mother´s boyfriend Rolf E. moved in with us including his 2000 records when I was five years old. He was the first guy I know who recorded his own tapes with the newest music from the British Forces radio channel BFBS in the Eightees.
I remember when I was ten years old my first record was from Amanda Lear. I was fascinated by her female look and her deep masculine voice ....
The bands which influenced me the most were:  Roxy Music, B´52s, the Fuzztones,  Siouxie and the Banshees, Sisters of Mercy, Guns ´n Roses,  Metallica, Slayer, Mötley Crüe, Hanoi Rocks, Nirwana, Massiv Attack, and many more.
