FL-X

English:
Matthias a.k.a. FL-X was born in 1983 near Berlin, Germany. Being very interested in music he started making music with the guitar and the e-guitar. But his heart was always beating for electronic music.
In 1999 he started producing tracks on his own. Although he had no idea about how to do so, and no one had told him, he made music that is settled between Trance and Hardstyle.
In 2001 he visited the Tresor where he was confronted with Techno for the first time. This monotone and hard music faszinated him so much, that he changed his style of music. From that time on he listened to Techno and "Schranz" and began to produce music influenced by Chris Liebing, Jeff Mills, Thomas Schuhmacher, DJ Amok, DJ Rush and Sven Wittekind. His favourite style today is Hardtechno but he is still open for other kinds of electronic music.
In may 2004 he started making his first liveacts and in november he played on Against-Silence, an Internet Radio Stream, at their 7th Special.
In october 2005 he made his first clubliveact in kashmir-club in hungary.
His first record was released in 2007 on the new spanish label Killfactory Recordings. Furthermore his partnership with the spanish agency TrivialMusik made him more popular, especially in spain .
At the beginning of 2008 he joined Artillery Bookings, one of the strongest booking agencies in Hardtechno. But although he still works together with TrivialMusik for spain.
Deutsch:
Matthias a.k.a. FL-X wurde 1983 in Rathenow, in der Nähe von Berlin, geboren. Schon in sehr jungen Jahren interessierte er sich Musik und begann das Spielen der Gitarre und E-Gitarre zu erlernen. Aber sein Herz schlug schon immer für elektronische Musik.
So begann er 1999 erste Tracks zu produzieren, welche sich stilistisch zwischen Trance und Hardstyle bewegten.
2001 besuchte er erstmals den Berliner Tresor, wo er erstmalig mit Techno konfrontiert wurde. Diese monotone und harte Musik faszinierte ihn so sehr, dass er seinen Musikstil nach und nach änderte. Ab da an hörte er Techno und „Schranz“ und begann Musik zu produzieren, die von Chris Liebing, Jeff Mills, Thomas Schuhmacher, DJ Amok, DJ Rush und Sven Wittekind beeinflusst wird. Sein bevorzugter Stil ist heutzutage Hardtechno, wobei er sich nie gegenüber anderen Arten elektronischer Musik verschließt.
Im Mai 2004 machte er seine ersten Liveacts und im November spielter er erstmalig auf Against-Silence, einem Internet-Radiosender.
Im Oktober 2005 spielte er im Kashmir-Club (Budapest, Ungarn) erstmals vor Publikum.
Sein erstes Release wurde im Jahr 2007 auf dem neuen spanischen Label KillFactory veröffentlicht. Die enge Zusammenarbeit mit der spanischen Agentur TrivialMusik machte ihn gerade im spanischen Raum weiter bekannt.
Zu Beginn des Jahres 2008 trat er dann bei der Bookingagentur Artillery Bookings ein, der mit stärksten Agentur, die in Hardtechnosektor vertreten ist. Weiterhin bleibt er aber im spanischen Raum seiner Agentur TrivialMusik treu.
