About the artist:
Hailing from the Hessian fairytale forests of the Brothers Grimm, maniac&me was significantly shaped by the "big bang" of e-sound in the early 90s. In the epicenter of Frankfurt am Main, he experienced a dreamlike era of unleashing energies—a unique birth of music, culture, attitude and freedom. This formative period became the source of his consistent dedication to underground electronic music designed to suspend space and time. Throughout the 90s and 00s, he organized several raves in the Rhine-Main region, led a party series in an underground location in Darmstadt, and played numerous sets in bars and smaller clubs in the region.

 In 2013 he formed the b2b project “Nachtflug Widerstand”  with his best friend, the Hessian DJ Kire.

In 2017, his move to Berlin ignited a new appetite for performance. The inclusive, diverse and often hedonistic music scene mirrored his 90s experiences. It didn’t take long to find like-minded spirits such as Sciarada, Solco Privato or Mutlu San to share musical intelligence and visions. Since 2023, maniac&me has been a permanent member of “Duma, The Collective,” organizing and playing at iconic Berlin locations like SchwuZ, Orangerie Neukölln and Renate.

Since 2024, he has been running his event series "U10247" via the Nachtflug Widerstand platform at Minimal Bar in Berlin-Friedrichshain. The series acts as a platform to feature new talents and established artists, primarily showcasing guest DJs from the Berlin scene. By 2025, his reach expanded to other German cities and Italy and in 2026, he joined the deep.in_audio collective to establish a musical axis between Berlin and his old home base in Darmstadt.

Maniac&me remains strictly vinyl-only. His sets are a journey through powerful house tunes, minimal surreality, light neotrance and industrial progressive. He is characterized by his ability to blend wicked, twisted and edgy technoid-styled house into straight-to-the-face progressive techno. His goal is the "loving release" of all ravers through collective freak power activation, following the motto of his e-godfather Sven Väth: “No dancing, no paradise.”

Enjoy! <3
