About Me

I began when 7" (read "seven-inch") singles were used, gradually switching to CDs (when somebody at last invented them and made them accessible to the public) and now after many years I have returned to vinyl (I don't exactly know where the "i" belongs in that word, or the "y", hope I got it right) records, even if of course a little differently.

In 1991 I got my first real "taste" of radio, actually the first private Czech station, later known as Radio 1. A year later I had several months at state radio with Regina and in '93 I settled down for 6 long (and beautiful) years at radio Bonton. During this period I mostly broadcast 6 days a week and in my spare time intensively worked on my own music. I first released 2 instrumental albums with Jirka Vatka (Mute Cs) as part of the "N-sonic" project, then I worked with Michal --etka as "Magic Keys", and then, absorbed by the new wave of dance music, I completed the "Champagne" project. We recorded 2 albums in total (but unfortunately only the first was released), our video "Save Me!" performed well for several weeks in the then popular ESO TV chart. Apart from this we had an intensive live performance schedule and so it is no real surprise that after 6 hectic years I had to pause for a while.

Two years later I was once again doing daily shows on radio Vox (great colleagues, fantastic atmosphere) and after six months I switched to radio Kiss 98, which had moved to new spaces equipped with what was then top studio equipment and had started new program with new team and format...

But after one year the Kiss format converted back. Because I am not a fan of oldies, even if I remember enough of them, so I left and devoted myself completely to clubs as the resident in the Spiral and Industry clubs. In 2004 when Industry was closed I had the feeling that it was time to consider finishing playing live and start to concentrate on my own projects. But after a while sitting in front of a computer began to feel too monotonous and my desire to return to the club scene was stronger every day. So at the present time I'm trying to pin my friend Marosh down to help me with it, because he has fabulous business ability and unique music taste. Maybe I would succeeded before we both die... Perhaps... :-)
