Tribez* = Timo was born in 1980 

The feeling for rhythmically driving beats and singing gripped him long before his school days. He 
would listen to the radio for hours, and when a song came on that he liked, he would turn up the 
volume and celebrate his happiness by singing and dancing loudly. For his first day at school, he was 
wishing for headphones. While other children usually find lots of sweets in their school bags, he 
found a Sony Walkman with headphones and 6 music cassettes in his school bag to record himself. 
His joy lasted longer than the sweets - which he also got . 
In those days, you had to wait for hours until a song came on the radio to record it. So it took a lot of 
patience and effort to record an hour of music on tape. At the same time, he intuitively started 
sorting the songs, reworking the tapes, re-recording them until the structure harmonised with the 
mood at the time.
A real milestone for him was when a regional radio station introduced a fixed weekly slot for the Top 
100 charts and played the songs in their entirety from beginning to end - recording and copying 
songs was exclusively encouraged at that time - crazy, isn't it? ;-) 
For the next 10 years he sat in in front of the radio every Friday from 7pm - 10pm and kept 
handwritten lists of newcomers, relegations and chat placements to all the Top 100 Media Control 
Charts. From then on his tapes became more and more professional, so that he was welcome and in 
demand at every party to deliver the right music. This passion and most importantly the ability to 
use music to convey emotions and put the audience in the right mood can be felt in every single set 
of Tribez. 
Besides his technical skills in various mixing techniques, it is above all the balance and the sometimes 
emotional and dramatic increases and decreases that round off his sets. 
He convinces even critics of electronic music, creates understanding and enthusiasm -
A true ambassador of electronic music. ❤
