Your Disco Is NOT My Disco!

About Me

Hi! I was born in Berlin, then raised in Bologna & upper Bavaria; from my early childhood on i am used to be surrounded by music: my father who is deeply into classical, jazz and singer/songwriter and my mother from whom i "inherited" a huge collection of black music. then growing up, me & my posse got infected by what we used to call the "mad club disease". cruising from club 2 club in an old red beetle of lou (whom you can meet nowadays as a bouncer at the door of "registratur" club in munich) listening to old cassettes full of Pharcyde, Acid House etc...ahh these were the days. after organising a bunch of parties all over the place, i got to know Tobi Neumann in munich, who at that time made "Flokati House Club" in munichs infamous Ultraschall, he instantly hired me as a warm up-DJ for people like Karotte, Losoul... At that time Mathias Modica from Gomma (whom we first booked for a party in 95) asked me to do a regular warm up-set at their gomma-parties at muffathalle. in 2000 i got to know Claas Brieler from Jazzanova in Berlins fine "Rossi" Recordshop (patrick where are you?) and soon i released my 1st music on Sonar Kollektiv-Sublabel No Zession. In the course of my studies (yeah, i am not just going into clubs & collecting records) i transferred myself to vienna.
And thats where we are today: times change, old heroes fade away, new heroes rise... be prepared 4 something new this summer...
and always remember: dont take it too serious, music is about fun and having a good time and not about the business & the dollar bill!
