Garay

MyGen Profile Generator DJ Garay by name András Garay was born in Vecsés. That small town has brought a lot for the hungarian party culture. He often undertook the role of the “music maker” already on class parties at grammar school. He was only 14 when he was already fascinated by the first electronic music wave that reached Hungary. Although he was not let into music clubs because of his underage, he was collecting mix cassettes and he had the thought that the other side of the counter will be the right place for him. He actively participated on parties at Flört and Club Speed, later he got regular visitor of Wild West in Mende and E-Play. It was 1998 when he accomplished his obsession. That time he obtained his Technics record-players and started to collect LP-s. In contrast with most of the party goers he was rather keen on house tracks with more emotional themes but the editions of Global Underground and Northen Exposure had also quite an influence on him. Every time he bought LP-s there were also not really dancefloor oriented records among them. That’s why his collection which has grown enormous by now, gives him a wide selection in music, no matter if it is about the hottest parties or a nice afternoon lounge on your coach.
Since 1999 united with his good friend they started to organize parties, whose success shows their millennium’s celebration in front of an audience with 150 party people. After visiting open air scenes near Vecsés, in summer of 2000 he started with his first own organized open air event. His vocation was shown by the fact, that he was contented with the donations of the guests instead of taking entry fee and he undertook these events on his own costs. By this time his music was already characterized by progressive trance.
The news of the open air parties went around fast in the small town. The first successful happenings were visited by bigger and bigger audience and these events made the thought of Debut nights a serious conception. The future team was brought together by joyful “music making” after well-spent clubbing nights in Siófok at the lake Balaton. This summer he often participated on underground goa parties where he played chill out music on smaller scenes for the ones who where keen on having a rest. After the second successful summer series, in fall 2001 the first Debut Night took place at Art Café on Vörösmarty square where beyond Garay also Chriss and Moonline played. From that time the new series – finding their temporary home at the new established Pacha Bar – gave also for Andris permanent opportunity to play. Of course the real essence of Debut gave open air parties in which also Garay took a serious part. He also admitted that he can give the most of himself on these nights, either in the middle of a forest, in a hunting hut, in a dried up lake bed, on a farm or on the bank of a fishing lake. He was relieved that he doesn’t necessarily have to care about the organization any more but he can concentrate with full power on his own musical self-realization.
From that time Garay – as the host of Debut – had the opportunity to play in all respectable Hungarian clubs, he became the resident of Flört, he got to Middle-Europe’s two most outstanding festivals GluGlu and Exit (Serbia) and he also turned the parties into memorable nights at Dokk or Home Club but he also become favorite in other hungarian city’s clubs for example at New Night in Tiszakécske.
Thanks to these events he could stand by one turntable with Sasha, James Zabiela, James Holden, Martin Buttrich, Dave DK, Desyn Masiello, Paolo Mojo, Steve Lawler, Satoshii Tomiee, Dave Seamen, Chris Fortier, Yunus Guvenen, Jimmy Van M., Matthew Dekay, Luke Chable, Darren Emerson, Ashley Caselle, Moshic, John Creamer & Stephane K, etc.).
In 2006 the Admirable Night- his own club night- which is organized in clubs in winter and at open air places in summer, celebrated already his second birthday. These nights give Garay the opportunity to blossom out, he delights his grateful audience with minimum of three hours sets and every time he also gives the chance to dj-s of the new generation who he considers talented.
His musical taste greatly influences his acts. Thanks to his wide interest his style can not be categorized. He is able to built up from deep house to tech-house or even to minimal and electro-house. In his sets one can notice the permanent presence of the latest innovative sounds. His plans of the near future include creating his own compositions because this is considered to be the next step in his musical self-realization.
