Tripping balls with Music since Day 1, and loving every minute of it! I make music for the movies in my head.

Back in 1992 a great friend of mine convinced me to try playing the Bass so I could join a cover band he was starting. One year later I had pushed the notion to him that copying was far less rewarding than doing it yourself, and we founded Primitive Reason.

To this day I’m still going strong with Primitive Reason, although I try and ‘complete’ my need for a varied musical diet with other projects, of which most are solo experiments.

Although I started with the Bass Guitar, I quickly moved on to experiment with other rhythmic languages, particularly percussion. Although I am from Madrid, Spain and born of Spanish parents, my first few years were spent in Angola where according to what I am told I became ‘hooked’ early on percussive music. Still today this is the most important feature in musical construction for me, and so obviously all the music I write has a strong rhythmic component.

I’ve been recording albums since 1995, and there are more than 50 lbum releases to date that I can call my own, not counting studio recordings for other bands and projects.

Staying true to my nature as a musician I have dedicated most of my earnings to musical instruments and studio gear, so I am fortunate to have a massive collection of ethnic and modern instruments, and professional gear with which to mix and master it.

My interests are everywhere, which is, well…everything, but I do aim to write only unique and characteristic material.

Anyone who have seen Drakenberg live at any type of venue knows he’s least to say one of a kind. Utilizing massive amounts of customized gear to perform in a sort of animalistic way, where the borders between his creative mind and the speakers are non excitant.
He also defies generic boundaries when it comes to the actual music, with so many years as a true fan of the underground sound, and vast experience behind the booth. Sets tend to fit in perfectly as everything is built upon the overall vibe in the surrounding atmosphere.

As an artist he's been attending the infamous WMC festival in Miami three times as a dj as well as traveling throughout Europe several times.
Over the years Drakenberg has been performing alongside international artists such as Chris Liebing, Joel Mull, Alan Fitzpatric, Pleasurekraft, Paul Ritch, Kaiserdisco, Mauro Picotto, Gregor Tresher, Lützenkirchen, Luigi Madonna, Marco Bailey, Uto Karem, Dustin Zahn, Cari Lekebusch, Nakadia, Style Of Eye, Dustin Zahn, Joey Beltram, Jay Lumen, Stonebridge, Sasha Carrassi, Thomas Krome, Funk D'Void, Samuel L Session, Djuma Soundsystem, D-Nox, Rebekah and many many more.
