My name is Martin Naus. Until I was eighteen I was not really interested in music, but then came the era of indies guitar bands and I was most affected by the music of The Cure. In 1990 music became my hobby No. 1. Gradually I was attracted by electronic music more and more, especially EBM. I went to the first EBM concert of The Blind band in 1991. Since then EBM became my most favorite genre and most I liked bands as Front Line Assembly, Skinny Puppy, Project Pitchfork, Leather Strip, Ministry and Young Gods. At that time I also met Prague’s Radio 1 DJ Josef Sedlon, with whom we used to go to all EBM concerts in the Czech Republic and even to some abroad.Between 1993 and 1994, following the take-up of dance music, I was more interested in this new trend. I was regularly visiting favorite Thursday techno nights in the Radost club in Prague promoted by Planet Alfa and I bought my first deck. For almost a year I was practicing mixing technique and style at home. It was a self-teaching and all the knowledge at that time I acquired by watching foreign DJ’s who played in Prague. The first unofficial party I played at was Josef Sedlon’s residential night at club 19 in Kladno in 1995. In December 1995 I played my first official gig in Beroun. The band Orbital became my longtime No. 1 musical act for many years. Dance music was all to me so as of 1 January 1996 I quit my job and started living off gigs and music. I became the official DJ of the Lighthouse agency which helped me a lot in the beginning and I had the credit to play at all parties organized by this pioneering musical agency. This was one of the reasons why I was getting more and more bookings all around the Czech Republic.Musically, I was leaning more towards harder and faster tracks. From being originally almost a hit-based DJ I gradually became a more crystallized interpret. My sets were becoming harder and since the start I had always been particular about clean mixes full of energy. I started trying to produce first tracks and slowly buying studio equipment which I was learning to control at the same time. It was a self-teaching in this field too. Between 1998 and 2002 I was the most booked DJ in the Czech Republic. Besides that I have played in clubs almost all around Europe and my own production was beginning to be able to compete. Together with a friend and colleague Dzejar we promoted a successful festival Svojsice in 2001 for the first time. It was mostly a techno festival with no musical compromises and such it remains while we still organize it. So since then I am not only a DJ and producer but a promoter as well. In 2000 I founded my own label Fylo where I present mainly my own material and works of my close friends. I mixed several compilations, some of them presented my own tracks. It was a big honor to me to make a remix for my longstanding most favorite Czech project Ecstasy of St. Theresa. Since 2001 I have been an official DJ for the Pioneer brand in the Czech and Slovak Republic. In August 2005 I performed at the biggest European festival Sziget in Budapes along with Rush and Speedy J. Rush and Tina from the Kne'deep agency liked my set so much that they offered to represent me. I was honored and accepted the offer without hesitating.My style is very specific, mostly hard and often experimental. I am not corroded by trends and I try to go my own way.Thanks to the fact that I do not depend on DJing, I am musically free and that is most important to me.
