Ben Santo @U60311 Frankfurt
Ben Santo was born at May 14th 1977 in Offenbach/Germany. He got into electronic music in the early 90s being a big fan of Depeche Mode and his love for this kind of music should follow him his whole life. Soon he got into club music and realized the music which was reduced to what makes the people move was the nonplusultra for him. At 94 he started going out to famous clubs like Omen and Dorian Gray in Frankfurt/Germany where DJ´s like Sven Väth and DJ Dag were playing and the sound of Frankfurt was the first big influence on him. He started buying records and spinning on his own at 97 and soon he also started producing his own tracks. He started with Frankfurt typical trance tracks but soon lost motivation since his favourite genres developed in a strange way and in his opinion lost their spirit. He missed the energy he felt in the middle of the 90s and wasn´t satisfied with the momentary club scene. After taking a break for some time Frank Kvitta, a good friend of him infected him with the hardtechno virus and he finally found back what he missed, real energy!! :) It didn´t take long he started to produce Hardtechno-tracks on his own, and soon he got his first releases. Today he is running the hardtechno label "Bullshit Records" together with Frank Kvitta.
Beside of making music he succesfully pursues a career as a professional poker player.
