Slippy Beats is far from being my first production. I’ve been doing this for quite some time now. My first release was back in 1994, Jil Bee "Magic". My goodness, I just realized I’m old as fuck! I put out a number of tracks as DJ Maui. My studio partner and I wrote and produced for other artists (Fun Factory, etc.) as well. We also worked on the Remix of the Modern Talking Song "You’re My Heart, You’re My Soul" which sold well over 800.000 units. Not that I made any money from it. In 1998 I met Spanish DJ and producer Jerry Ropero. We found we had a lot in common musically and became fast friends. Together with vocalist and songwriter Terri B. we "secretly" started the project Avantgarde and produced the single Get Down the same year. Secretly, because at the time, as above mentioned, Terri was under contract to a different production company and not allowed to work with us. However, often times necessity is the mother of invention so, we did the following: we pitch shifted her vocals to a lower key, making her sound almost like a male singer, which ironi- cally then became the signature sound of Avantgarde and certainly contributed to the single’s suc- cess. Well, those were the days. In recent years I have produced and recorded songs solely for the fun of doing it and I like to keep it that way. Big business is not the prime objective anymore. I re- leased tracks as a solo artist and did collaborations as well.

PRESSTEXT 

GERMAN
Er ist das Partytier schlechthin. 
Es gibt fast kein Wochenende in dem er keinen Club rockt.
Seine DJ Sets sind immer etwas Besonderes und so er schafft es jedesmal 
die Menge mit seinen technoiden trancy Klängen in seinen Bann zu bringen. 
Vor etwa 25 Jahren wurde er durch eine Bookingagentur ins Rampenlicht geschoben und 
seitdem in Deutschland, Österreich sowie der Schweiz nur für Euch @ the Decks. 
Zu den besten Clubs und Events gehören unter anderen der Club Ocean 971 auf Ibiza, der Tunnel Club Hamburg, das D-Lite (Zurich/CH), der Lava Club(Winterthur/CH), die Nature One (Kastellaun), die Beatparade (Empfingen) sowie die Street Parade (Zurich/CH) und einige mehr…. 
In der Radiolandschaft ist er bereits auch ein bekannter und gern gesehener Gast. 
Auf diese Art und Weise liefen bereits einige Sets von Ihm auf Radioneckar (Stuttgart), Freies Radio-FM (Ulm), SMK Radio (Kirn), DJ-Radio (Zürich) und auf Tranceairwaves (Vereinigtes Königreich) über den Äther! 
Auch auf Radio Sunshine Live ist er kein unbekannter Gast mehr. Es fühlt sich einfach an keinem anderen Platz so Wohl wie hinter den Playern.
Seit 17 Jahren präsentiert er jeden Sonntag Abend die neuesten Trance Tunes mit Absolut Trance auf dem globalbeats.fm Radiostream. There is Trance Inside...und das ist alles was zählt!
