About Me



Create a playlist at MixPod.com

I started out as a DJ 15 years ago with 2 good friends in a Mobile Disco, played all sorts of music at private parties and such, but I soon developed my skills, music selection, crowd response reaction etc. enough to be able to play as a club DJ in some of the more commercial discotheque's in Copenhagen City and Farum. I always had a love for the more funky side of music, but it wasn't until I met my buddy Greg (DJ Hipp) 9 years ago that i specialised in only playing the FUNKY STUFF, and exploring my collection into all kinds of Funk, Disco, Original Black Funky Soul, Dancefloor Jazz etc. I teamed up with him and started playing at the nightclub afterparties for the concerts at LOPPEN in Christiania. That was some really heavy parties, and the crowd was open to dancing to just about any groove that we could find. That all started the carreer that I have today, playing at some of the most prominent places in Copenhagen. Also lately I was booked to play three times during the summer in Bar M in San Antonio, Ibiza, and twice in Monaco. February '07 i became the Programming/Playlist Manager for the internet radio station DV.FM , wich showcases the music selections of Greg and myself, but also the talent mass of the Discovelopment Community , with liveshows from Swedish upcoming house act Pingo & Bobby, Gregory Del Piero, DJ Riis, DeanJay, Stevo & Mark 'E' C and many more to come. Liveshows will also be transmitted from many events around the globe in the near future, keep informed by checking the DV.FM Website and the DV.FM MySpace . DV.FM and Discovelopment has also allowed me to be part of many great lineups, including warming up for the likes of Louie Vega, Gregory Del Piero, Can7, Henri Kohn, and in dec '08, will also be DJ'ing at the coolest event of the year with Bob Sinclar Don't Stop Loving Check my calendar for gigs, and tune in to DV.FM to listen to my styles of music.If the DV.FM player does not start automatically, please open my profile in Explorer, OR in an IE tab in firefox!
