power of positive vibrations.
After spending his youth in rock bands in the GDR/East Germany, Abu-Id began playing vinyl records in smaller clubs around Frankfurt and at his first festivals in 1998. To get rare records from the UK, he and a friend opened the Adore Record Store in Frankfurt in 2001, which became the first local source for UK Progressive House, Techno, and Breakbeat in the area.
In 2007, Abu-Id chose the Canary Islands as his new home, where he contributed to building the house and techno movement. He became a resident DJ at Club del Mar and Cacatua and co-founded the Pan-O-Rama Festival in La Gomera. In 2017, he teamed up with Celeste Love from Ibiza, forming the duo Celeste & Abu.Id to blend her downtempo style with his, creating extended, immersive audiophile dance journeys. As of 2024, he has been traveling, recently staying in Central America.

To date, he has played more than 150 radio shows and nearly 500 resident gigs, open-air events, and festivals. The purpose of his sets is to take the audience on a journey—starting in the depths and unfolding an unpredictable adventure of diverse tunes and rhythms. He strives to keep the experience exciting yet not exhausting, leading to peaks of ecstasy, joy, and hypnotic states of movement. His sets typically culminate in a smooth, playful landing, which is why they usually last between 3-4 hours. For his Ecstatic Dance sessions, he follows the same concept but in a more compact and selective format.

DJ since 1997, until 2004 mainly Chill Out and Goa Trance, later also Techno, Minimal and Progressive House, all kinds of electronic music. Current favorites are Newschool Goa Trance and Progressive House and some kinds of Straight Techno.

DJ manuell’s sound can be described as a mix of deep and minimalistic techno, sexy minimal tunes, enriched with loops, effects and layers of his self recorded field-recordings.

Aka “manuell maschinell” he mixes with up to 4 decks and integrates a drum-maschine and other machines as live components into his setup.

With the partylabel Inteam, manuell is organising together with Jestics little parties for dance-manicas, mostly at off-locations.

Besides club music, the "Monday-Mix by manuell" has for two years been broadcasted weekly live on the net. The Monday-Mix features sound that is a smooth mix of electronica, deep- and dub-techno and many of manuell's field-recordings. Initially, this was meant to be a mix for his best friends, but very soon it became a well known address for the perfect musical mood on a Monday. Listen to the last Monday-Mixes on Soundcloud. The mix stopped being broadcasted weekly at the end of 2010. It is now being produced on special occasions and spontaneously.

Startet mixing electronic music in 1995, progressed over nearly the full spectrum of the genre, finally reached to progressive, minimal, elektro swinging partly vocal influenced tribe-house. Loving to play and combine  tracks with a fluffy atmosphere and lovely hooks with rhythmic and progressive ones.

In 2008, Denis Lihotzky and Max Keck noticed a void in the Cologne underground music scene. So the two friends decided to start a project with the aim to fill that void: to provide Cologne with a regular event, which focuses on Melodic Techno. As an ode to their homeland, the Oberbergischer Land, they named their event Bergwacht or “Mountain Rescue”, and began to host parties once a month in Cologne’s Artheater. Denis “Liho”, who not only manages its bookings, but is also Bergwacht’s resident DJ, programs each event with an eye for upcoming talent and an ear for extraordinary music. Bergwacht’s guest DJs continue to attract a loyal and energetic audience, and by 2012, Bergwacht has become an important part of the Cologne underground Techno scene. Continuing to follow their passion, in September of 2012, the Oberbergischer troupe launched Bergwacht Records as an outlet to curate and present the music they love most, “Melodic Techno”. Their debut release features Max Keck and his longtime friend and collaborator Sven Kirchner as Tool..8 with remixes by Lanny May and Boss Axis. Bergwacht releases will be available on Vinyl and as digital download. Open your ears and let Bergwacht rescue you.
