About Me

Jan Hovind was born 1974 September 12th in Zurich. His father was from Norway and his mom is from Switzerland.
1991 was a start for him into a new world. Driven by techno beats he spent every weekend in various techno clubs like the "Tonstudio Leers" and later the "Grodoonia" rather then getting some sleep at home.

1995 was when Jan Hovind said goodbye for a half a year and went to Palm Beach Florida, where he bought his first records. When he got back to Switzerland he spent all his free time in record stores and behind the turntables.

A few highlights were:

-1997 was when he became a resident DJ in the club "Cyber-Ranch" which was a popular after hour's club.

-In the year 2000, Jan Hovind spinned the first time in a big club. It was in the Rohstofflager in Zurich.

-2004 and 2005, Jan Hovind played with 80'000 watts in front of a few hundred thousand people on the Etzel truck at the Streetparade in Zurich.

-In the summer 2006, he spinned together with Hardcell and Grindvik, Advent, Ben Sims, Lucca and other top acts at the Sputnik party in Zurich.

-At the end of 2007, Jan Hovind, EDELSTAHL live and Fredy S started with the Stahlplatten label night. The first one was in Stockholm. Another successful one was at the "old Stattbahnhof" in Schweinfurt (Germany).
Some top producers and friends for him today are Glenn Wilson, Hardcell and Grindvik, Advent, Ben Sims, David Moleon, Lars Klein, Edelstahl, Hertz, Vincent De Wit, Bas Mooy, Industrialyzer, A. Paul, Adam Beyer, WJ Henze, Eric Sneo, Carl Falk, Michael Burkat, Andre Walter and many more.
