About Me

How it started It all goes back to 2003. It all started with a joke at MIA, together with Dj Timmy_L. He was already one of the resident Dj's and used to play an Electro Rock/Pop/Clash style. I started Deejaying with him. We used to rock it out at MIA! Later we became to have a vulgar interest for a more beatable type of music, so we started to play a more determined style and, by this time, started to mix the tracks. Unfortunately, he opened his own Bar and so we got separated... then I started to play alone and gain my own resident at MIA, a place that means a lot to me! Nowadays I continue there with my monthly residence however, it has changed the management. During the change, I got a little lost and loosed my resident but now I am lucky to be there again.Where comes the nickname from? The Dj nickname I have chosen has all to do with my background. I lived for 14 years in Germany therefore, it had to be in some kind related to that country, beside the best productions of international electronic music are from Germany - Berlin. The name I choose was LaKritz - it is a gum made in germany, and an uncommon one, it is black and tastes bitter. I have chosen such a strange object because when I started to play sound with Timmy_L we used to play music that no one else (that we knew) use to; therefore, I had got a name from a gum that is different from all the other  like I was as a Dj.

Band Members: The featuring members, in alphabetic order so that no one became upset, with whom I use to work, are:Gato Preto Gato Branco They are two members of the band Submarine (Cesar and Filipe), and if you thing that the band Rocks than you should see this two guys deejaying. They play high-leveled danceable rock music& so if you try to stay quiet you must resort to a seat belt. Have never played with them but I have seen (heard) them many times& we have a kind of a project that we would like to accomplish. Who knows& maybe sooner than you think!Mindskap He is a very experienced dj and does not only preform with liveacts but is also a successed producer. He deserves all the respect that is given to him because of his clear and excellent productions and remixes. I hope to perform more times with him, and he is also going to teach me how to produce electro and who knows maby have some tracks together.Timmy_L This is the main person to whom I must be graceful that I have started deejaying. He was, and I could quiet say that he still is, my incentive! His sound is for everyone like a personal compilation, with plenty of persuad and well flavoured musics, mixed with a lot years of experience!I hope that we soon play again together and remember those old days! Lets make things happen. You are not a professional dj, and neither I so let us have fun again, and rock out the bars!Twin Gums Two excellent female Djs (Joana and Tania) with whom I already put sound. However, I actually do not play together with them but it is happens that we play in the same day at the same place the only thing that changes is the hour. Their sound is so multilateral, that you cannot get enough of it! Their subject: electro (!) no time or thematically limitation and a perfect concept of coherence. All I have left to say: see it yourself!Yomo He had acquired a lot of experience during the time. The sound he plays a sound a lot like mine, and this is the reason why we play so often together as well as the fact that we are residents at the same place. As far as some of you already know, this event is called ElectroChemie. The reason we took this name is the result of the fusion of our sound. It is not really the same kind although it is the same gender. I Hope to see you soon at an ElectroChemie, I think it is worthwhile&_____________________________________________ __________________This list is not finished either completed, so continue visiting this page for more information&
Influences: My real influence comes from the beginning of the Electronic Music; even if I do not play a lot of this kind of music it inspires me to manage the modern sound, because only knowing the past you can manipulate the present. Everything has to make sense and be consistent.So here are some of my influences:Africa Bambaataa, Air, Aphex Twin Basement Jaxx, Boards of Canada Could Cut, Chemical Brothers Daft Punk, De La Soul, Dj Shadow Fatboy Slim, Felix Da Housecat Giorgio Moroder, Goldie Human League Innerzone Orchestra Kraftwerk Massive Attack, Metro Area Nuyorican Soul Playgroup The Avalanches, The Klf, The Orb, Tricky Underworld
