About Me

i am influenced by loads of musical genres and had my initiation into club music raving just in time to witness chicago house arrive europe in 1986 in frankfurt clubs like dorian gray, plastic, vogue, maxim and cookies.
attracted then by the raw jacking beats of chicago, the deepness and functionality of those tracks i retired from clubbing in 1989 for health reason.the following years i worked in record shops and for several record distribution companies.in these years i cultivated my knowledge about music and went deep into different musical genres.
moving to berlin in 2002 i soon decided to learn beatmatching skills and became a dj for advanced jackin music.
since then i played lots of parties and clubs in berlin like bar 25, berghain kantine, maedcheninternat, tresor, klub der republik, zementgarten, golden gate,..., and abroad in frankfurt, leipzig, freiburg, erfurt, bielefeld and potsdam as well as playing at the "kiez against nazis" parade in 2006, the "quentin tarantino - death proof-aftershow-party" at bar 25, a night at an "jetsam/indymedia anti-g8 radio show" broadcasted from rostock worldwide in 2007 and at the transgenialer csd-parade in berlin in 2008. i teamed up in 2006 with djs mr.ties and michael nadjé to perform occasionally as the mcf.in spring 2009 i was then assigned to become a dj for the berlin based record-distributor diamonds and pearls ......
