On April, 30th 2008 I became 18 years old. My friends call me Trucker. I got this nickname in 5th grade of primary school, because I wore a t-shirt with a truck driver on it. In Drum & Bass, Trucker mutated to truxdoor, a fucking insane addicted junglist…
I started to listen Drum & Bass 5 years ago, when I was 13 years old. Whenever I don’t have to work or to do some other important crap I listen jungle & drum’n’bass. 160 – 200 BPM are a suitable solution for a hyperactive human like me! I only listen other sound genres early in the morning when I am tired, mostly chillout or dubstep.
Drum’n’bass is like a friend to me, it makes getting better along with life! Other people use cocaine, I use drum’n’bass. It’s my desire, my life & my drug
It's sad that there doesn’t exist a regular public Drum'n'Bass radio in Switzerland. My dream is to open up a 24/7 Drum'n'Bass radio station in Switzerland so that I could the Junglist & Drum'n'Bass culture over the whole country.
I listen & play all subgenres in Drum & Bass because every subgenres has its own attractio. For instance Liquid Funk is very cheerful and nice to power up your mind. Neurofunk is great to poardey, it makes you feel like your on hole different planet. Jump up and Wobble is druggy. My addiction to Drum & Bass doesn’t depend from the subgenre, the main thing is, that it’s got impulse & intense bass!
I came in contact with mixing drum and bass for the first time in October 2007. A friend of mine asked wheter I can make a Traktor (Besides this DJ mixing Software is related to my nickname ;-]) D’n’B set for a birthday party. I agreed and in the next days I was practicing mixing steps with that program.
Then I talked to a local DJ called Toni B (Silent Extent; Close2Death Records), which has about 20 years of DJ & club experience.
I asked him what it needed to put my promise about the birthday D’n’B party to practice. He told me that electronic programs are inflexible and unreal, he suggested me to buy some technics MK2 turntables to start for real with vinyl. Then I got an offer from the manager of our local youth centre. I bought 2x Technics 1210 MK 5 for a very nice price, a mixer I already owned.
Now I can say it’s one of the best things in my life, a new inspiration a new need in my life. In Switzerland I think it’s more difficult than in Britain to find really good vinyl’s. But I am searching every day for new connections and capabilities to find new stuff & and new favourite tunes. It’s always nice to get in touch with pleasant Deejays.
So there I am, sitting on my chair in front of my computer with a cigarette in my mouth, writing this little biography about my dreams, my inspiration and my aims in life, after a drum’n’bass party in one of Berns sweetest clubs (Dachstock), listening Bamboo Paper from Atlantic Connection and feeling very tired n hungry.
To all Drum & Bass people & junglists out there thanx for your support & inspiration!
And to everyone else who doesn’t like Drum & Bass. Forget the past, be adaptable to the future and give it a chance ! It’s a wonderful thing!
