About Me


Justin Berkovi is an internationally established dance music producer, remixer and live act having recorded for a plethora of labels such as Music Man, Djax-up-beats, Harthouse, Force Inc, Projex, Klang, Predicaments, Sonic Groove and many more. In addition to these activities he has written articles for Future Music magazine (UK) reviewing hi tech studio equipment, worked with Yamaha and Roland on sound and pattern design for their products and has set up and run his own creative design agency catering for a wide range of clients.
Justin's music has taken him all over the globe from the most intimate of clubs to the largest of festivals. Some clubs and festivals played: Tresor (Berlin), Womb (Tokyo), Ministry of Sound (London), Ambassada Gavioli (Slovenia), Rex (Paris), TLV (Tel Aviv), Amnesia (Ibiza), Dancevalley (Holland), Nature One / Liberty One (Germany), Love Parade (Berlin), I Love Techno (Belgium), 10 Days off (Belgium) and more. He's not only worked dancefloors but has created experimental electronica (Charm Hostel) and produced a Peel Session for the BBC.
Having cemented his place in the techno history books at a relatively early stage in his career Berkovi's sound is truly unique and cannot be pigeonholed. Production-wise Justin has produced five solo albums, a live album and countless 12"s and remixes. He's also been licensed by major labels to a host of mix cd's and compilations.
After a break in production of a couple of years Justin's busy in the studio putting together some new material to be released in 2008 - 2009.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 4/6/2006
Band Website: justinberkovi.com
Band Members: Justin and sometimes collaborators
Influences: Many - too many to completely list here. Mantronix were formative in shaping what I loved to hear - tight production, experimental beats and structure and forward thinking sounds. I grew up listening to old school hip hop such as Big Daddy Kane, MC Lyte, KCJ on the wheels of steel and Dave Pearce back in the day...Gunshot, Hijack, MC Duke..I loved all the brilliant UK hip hop of that era.
When hip hop began moving strongly towards the gangsta thing I moved on to detroit techno, UK rave and hardcore. My early techno influences were Terrace, Djax of course, Richie Hawtin, Kenny Larkin and I also loved the insane PCP stuff from Frankfurt.
Record Label: Predicaments, Nightrax, Music Man and more...
Type of Label: Indie
