Music is my great passion since I was seventeen. But even when I was a kid I had tried to play two tapes at the same time with the twin tape-recorder/player and replace the pickup of my father’s turntable with a fixing pin plus paper taphole to create something like a grammophone effect to play the records. Later I got a simple turntable and a simple 2-channel mixer. Naturally the crossfader on this mixer was most important for me. My favorite music at that time was Hip Hop and I was very interested in learning how to scratch (cut). In the beginning I dubbed beats and pieces of music onto cas (...) Mehr anzeigensette and let them play later while adding the scratches. At this time I already founded some Hip Hop bands where I was involved as DJ. Together we arranged several Hip Hop Jams (Concerts). I especialy liked the electronic- style of Hip-Hop music. Hip Hop took another direction and the former kulture of it was destroyed. Now it is also called Gangsta-Rap. The electronic-style of Hip Hop-music, I met in Techno-music again. In 1995 Members of Mayday (Westbam & Mr.X and Mr.Y etc.) used that style in there Mayday-anthem-track "Sonic Empire" for the gigantic Techno Rave-Party in Dortmund/Germany. That track is the reason for changing my mind about music-style from Hip Hop to Techno. I got to know the szene, people doing Dee-jay'ing with Techno-music, who lent me a lot of Techno records for Dee- Jay'ing Techno. Soon I provided my own, it didn't take much time to increase my library of Techno disc-record. All my money I gave for disc-records. First I started Dee-Jay'ing at commercial dance-clubs, shortly after membership at some Dj & Booking-comunities, and because of being passionate of music, I am also producing tracks. Weniger anzeigen
