About Me


I love:
music with soul and rocking the decks to make the crowd dance ... bpm’s - a lot of beatz per minute! BIG & beautiful basslines .. technoid, neurofunky, dark & deep DRUM’N’BASS … mostly straight but some broken beats too … fast & tight mixing ... storytelling sets with drive … well tuned music & PA sound systems …

I buy:
Renegade Hardware, DSCI4, Offkey, Violence, Sinuous, Lost Soul, Quarantine, Commercial Suicide, Metalheadz, Habit, Subtitles, Dom&Roland Prod, Project 51, Revolution, DNAudio, Freak, Obscene, Tech Itch Rec, Barcode, Ohm Resistance, Obliterati, Virus, Habit, Citrus, Syndrom Audio, Cymbalism, RedLight, Defcom, Universal Project … and more!

I spin:
since 2002 - with many years background as a music lover and dancing at techno parties.
I played:
public appearances since late 2005 in Clubs in Switzerland: @ I-Fluss-Reithalle / Graffiti / Aarehuette (all in Bern), @ 'our home club' Gaskessel/Coupole (Biel/Bienne), Dynamo (Zuerich), Merkker (Baden AG) ..
spinning as support act alongside some of my favorite artists: Hive, Break, The Upbeats, SKC, Phace, Silent Witness, Prode, Storm, Masheen, Mayhem, RAIDEN … and with my crew, the USP DJ’s, with whom I promoted most of above Partys.

I dream:
- of many more bookings and international gigs ... !:)

and checking out my crew: USP Underground Sound Promotions on (MYSPACE)
I scream:
Keep up the spirit – keep on dancing!
I'm dancing:
also to Darkpsy (Goa/Trance) music, especially outdoors (played around 152bpm, most advanced cyberdelic kind of hardcore psychedelic sounds of Artists such as; Goa Gil, Kindzaza, Psykovsky, Amanda, Ocelot, Mubali, Furious, Para Halu, Polyphonia, ..) some industrial .. noise and some of the activist explicit complex energy sounds of Breakcore (Artists such as; Enduser, Bong-Ra, Venetian Snares, Doormouse, Shitmat, Sickboy, Hekate, ..) or listening to some gems in Dubstep, like from Vex'd, Skream, DJ-Distance, Tech Itch.

SPIRIT
and Music:::
Drum'n'Bass, DJing
Dark Psychedelic Trance,
Dancing, Partys,
my crew:: USP (myspace link) , Promoting,
some: Dubstep, Breakcore, DarkNoiseIndustrial
much: Nature, Yoga, Friends, Love & Life, expanding consciousness ..

I'd like to meet:

My musical heroes (thank you for making music! One main reason for I am very grateful to be on planet mother earth - yeeah; the time is now!) .. artistic people .. music lovers and dancers .. true spirits .. open minded folks .. loving souls .. dedicated freaks .. psychedelic beings .. free thinkers .. conscious and natural hu(wo)man .. "keep it real!"

Music:

(early) Influences: Pink Floyd . The Doors . Nina Hagen . Cure . Patty Smith . Led Zeppelin .. Metallica and some more Metal .. Nirvana . Prodigy . Skinny Puppy . Frontline Assembly .. Alec Empire .. some Punk Noise Industrial stuff .. Some Trip Hop: Tricky . Massive Attack . Underworld . Chemical Brothers .. DJ Shadow . Public Enemy and some Underground Hip Hop like EL-P and that Company Flow crew .. Turntablists like Mixmaster Mike .. core: DOA, Lorent Hô and some more great (rare, early) Hardcore Stuff .. well then:
THANK GO(O)D(N)ESS TECHNO TIMES HAVE BEGUN :) a lot of Techno: Aphex Twin . Autechre . Squarepusher . Jeff Mills, James Ruskin and other Detroiters . The Advent . Dave Clark . Carl Cox . Planetary Assault System . Laurent Garnier . Sven Väth . Chris Liebing . DJ Rush . Luke Slater . Fumiya Tanaka . Ken Ishii . Krush . DJ Skull . Plasticman . DJ Hell . Kevin Saunderson . Susumu Yokota . Speedy J. . Sterac . Steve Stoll . Tim Baker .. and many more! Around 2001, when most Techno went Electro .. I had to go further, seeking
todays influences: sound from the many GREAT MUSICIANS OF THE DRUM'N'BASS BEAST .. and of CONNECTED DARK PSY ARTISTS (favourites see right section).
Well, basically:
all music that goes deep and is dark and/but beautiful highlighted - like the source we all come from the Universe .. traveling at the speed of the light .. (speed has something irresistable..)
.. all lead to being today Drum'n'Bass infected .. with a glitch for Psy & Core ..
Music is my life THANK YOU for company and sharing in that adventure! And my thanks to the USP crew and especially to my LOVE!

Movies:

Kubrick, Tarantino, Jarmusch, .. South Park, Simpsons .. some classics, sure, but since a while now .. no: no more TV nor Movies .. I do not want in any way support and promote violence .. and I just don't find time for Hollywood .. real live is my best movie..
But I do appreciate good Art work and Graphics .. from Graffiti to Photography to fine Arts to Cover designs .. psychedelic Deco .. and some (they are rare) good visuals ..

Books:

Many! Esoteric an Philosophical stuff, f. ex. K. Wilber .. Sogyal Rinpoche .. A. Risi .. B. Marciniack .. C. Pinkola-Estes .. S. Plant .. D. Fortune .. D. Melchizedek .. And still reading a lot.. Good stuff - but just keep(ing) in mind: its paper - not real live ..
