Hartwig is an electronic music producer from South Africa. He discovered Psytrance at the age of sixteen in the forests of the Garden Route, his mind was blown by the intricate and unique sound he was hearing. His love for music and nature deepened when he went to his first outdoor event and experienced the joy of dancing with friends and kindred souls. This awakened the drive in him to create more of these experiences through music.

He got his diploma in sound engineering in 2006 and in 2009 he co-founded a band called Alive dNb Trio. Together they created and performed live Drum n Bass music with an electronic drum kit, a bass guitar and a keyboard. He unfortunately needed to leave the band when a tragedy occurred in his life with the loss of a loved-one. From 2013 - 2021, his focus shifted to farming and making music became a hobby. During this period he wrote mainly Psytrance, but he also experimented in the genres of Drum n Bass, Ambient, Folk, Psydub and Classical music. Even though he was a bedroom hobbyist producer, he was steadily honing his skills.

Hartwig draws his inspiration from nature and love thereof. In 2023 he started working on his debut album - Our Journey. The music on the album explores themes and soundscapes that delve into principles of nature, time, life & death, human connection, fantasy and mythical stories from the past. He aims to create an experience in dance that will heal the connection of the soul of the earth, through the joy of dancing in harmony and unity. The music is set to be released in 2025.
