About Me


Katovl Menovsky grew up in the heart of Berlin. His interest in DJing started at the age of 14 when he got in contact with the hiphop culture of the 90ies. As it was not easy to expand the record collection and save money for good equipment at the same time, it happened that his knowledge about music grow very fast, but his turntables were still of the cheap kind. Katovl some day almost reached the point to quit his turntable activities. That was before he got addicted to the the four to the floor bassdrums. It was the summer of 97 or 98 when he decided to go to the Berlin loveparade. His motivation was not the music, but to see all those crazy ravers with fancy outfits and sunflowers in their pockets. Very soon after his arrival he started to get angry because he and his friends realized that it was not that easy to move in a crowd of one million people. So they inched their way through the masses and shook their heads about the stupid bummbumm music. After a while they realized that it was a lot faster to walk behind the parade trucks. And thats how it really started: very soon they got stuck with the groove and started to dance while they were walking behind the truck. They began with single tapping of the foot to the music, but it went very fast to exhausted jumping and screaming. It still took seven more years for Katovl Menovsky before he bought his first house records. From then until now he uses opportinities to play his selections from little private raves to bigger events. His favourite kind of parties are open air raves in urban environments of Berlin. Katovl Menovsky has a lot of different faces. It depends on his mood and of course the crowd whether his set is going to be dark and stompy or minimalistic and housy.
