HAZEE

I was born in a small city in the west of Romania, called Deva.Having as a musical background my primary school’s choir activity, an attempt to learn classical guitar in high-school and doing scratches for the local nu-metal band Bio.Dome – I decided to start djiing after seeing Goldie’s live performance at Sziget Festival in Budapest, back in 1998.
Oficially I started spinning at some small party in Sibiu (Hermannstadt), in December 2001. The scene was rather small then and consisted in a bunch of people throwing parties on a more or less regular basis. In 2002 I was invited to several parties in different cities of Romania, the biggest being TM Base festival in Timisoara (Temeswar).
“Skunk Predatorz” was born in 2003 as a party brand to promote broken beats in my hometown – from dub and reggae to breakbeat and drumandbass. I was a founding member and along with some friends we tried to put out constant parties with some of Romania’s best djs and later on, guests from abroad. We started in 2005 a weekend festival called “Summer Break” in order to have something different on the market – djs and live bands playing open air in a beautiful surrounding, near the Mures (Mieresch) river. Our brand has been nominated two years in a row at the Nights.RO awards for “Best Party”, “Best Event with Foreign DJs” and “Best Flyer”. I was nominated for “Best Ascending DJ”.
I had my BA in Journalism in 2003 and worked as a freelance writer for different websites and magazines, supporting the scene with event and release reviews, interviews with different artists and label profiles. You can find some of them on 4elemente.ro and drumandbass.ro.
Until present I’ve been constantly to all major cities in Romania playing out dj sets at club nights, festivals, pubs, barbequeues or private parties. My favourite genre remains drumandbass in full spectrum – from dubwise, liquid to tech and deep sounds with a lot of vocal parts and dancefloor basslines. I also like to mix dub, reggae and funky broken beats when I have the occasion.
I’ve played beside all Romanian top cats and shared the bill with some of the best foreign artists that visited Romania: Psure & Psyon (Hungary), Tactile (Hungary), acidtrip (Bulgaria), Contour & Physics (Finland), Shroombab (Austria), Rafik (Germany), Klute (UK), Ed Rush (UK), Danny Byrd (UK), Aphrodite (UK), DJ STORM (UK), Bailey (UK), Kubiks (UK), Jump Up Jimmy (UK), Black Sun Empire (Netherlands) and Teebee (Norway).
In 2007 I’ll try to focus more on musical production, having already collaborated with Deevision, a young producer from Timisoara. Also I have a collboration with Rapala called DUB Predatorz – we make back 2 back sets mixing various styles of music.
Proud to reprazent and wear MILITIA SKATEBOARDS LTD clothing and PROJECT 13 Freestyle SHOP (one of my mates shop in my hometown).
I like to do crate digging and buy all the funky pieces of wax i can find, wether in Budapest, Viena, Bucharest or Oslo.
