Markus Müller, the given name of this dj and producer who began his musical journey at the tender age of 18. He started to promote house events with a good friend of his in his birth city, Graz, Austria. He noticed how much joy came from their guest djs when they played and decided to begin playing himself. At the start his style was not concrete and fell somewhere between progressive house, techno and electro.
At 21, he came in contact with the ambitious dj/producer Lori the HiFi Princess. She noticed his talent right away, and began to book him to play along with her at most of her shows. Through this opportunity Markus was able to play in many different countires to a wide variaty of crowds and learned alot from these experiences. At first he played warm-up sets, but after time his ability to play grew and he was booked as to play main time sets.Together with Lori he also played on 4 decks with 2 mixers which was always a delight for the crowd. He also astonished his fellow listeners while playing alone on 3 decks with perfect technical skill.
His travels as a dj brought him to many cities all over europe and as far away as Thailand for the famous full moon party on Koh Phangan.In 2005 Markus found his way into the studio and began producing under the name Cinnamint Monkeys. His Production spectrum lyes between minimal techno, electro and tech-house. After two years of producing his skills have enabled him to come up with tracks like „Kettenreaktion“, „The Mell“, „Gedankenrausch“ and „Skeletons in my closet“.
Although his passion for vinyl you can see in his large record collection, he has decided to follow technology and moved to fully digitalized way of spinning. His setup includes a MacBookPro with Traktor 3, a Audio8 DJ Soundcard for a very spezial warm and pumping sound output and a Vestax VCI 100 Midi Controller. Having a set up like this enables him to incorporate a more live feel to his DJ Sets.
