The Swiss initiator of the RioParade, Adrian Halter aka A.J. Crypt, had already started to spin in different small discotheques and at parties in 1989.

Crypt has shared the turntables with the greatest names in the electronic scene, Carl Cox, Tiesto, Paul van Dyk, Erik Morillo, John Digweed, Sven Väth are among them. A.J. has traveled the world playing in great events and venues such as the “Love Parade - Berlinâ€, the “Closing Party†at “Space - Ibizaâ€, the “Winter Music Conference - Miami“, the “FIFA World Cup 2006 - Germanyâ€, the “Innercity - Amsterdam†or the “Heineken FFWD Paradeâ€, where he played together with Ferry Corsten at the main stage.

The "AJC-music" is a kind of minimal-electro, sort of tech-house, dirty, cool, sexy and smooth, with some aspects of tribal. A.J.'s set normally begins with an introduction, builds a riveting plot and then goes down with an unbelievable conclusion. Connected to the scene, A.J. organized the RioParade, an event which held 200.000 people in Rio de Janeiro, and established A.J. Crypt as a successful international producer and DJ.
