About Me


Sekonig was born in 1976. His passion for music started as a young boy. He went to record shops with his father every Saturday buying hits of the 80´s for private parties.
The music styles he was collecting and listening to changed over the years. At first it was rock, (Cream, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, The Doors ) grunge, and old funk music. By listening to this music he was always focusing on: Where does the music come from?
In the early 90´s his black music phase came. He collected hip-hop, (Gang Starr, De la Soul, A tribe called Quest, Mc Solaar, Group Home, EPMD ) soul, jazz, and old disco sounds. At that time he was beginning to mix and scratch and he became a hip-hop Dj.
Sekonig was always open minded for every kind of music, so he listened to acid-jazz, drum&bass and trip-hop. But he was always influenced by US dance music like: (Marvin Gaye, Curtis Mayfield, Barry White, Larry Levan, Giorgio Moroder, Motown etc.) all the old sounds that were going to become house-music.
And house-music found him.
His huge collection of old disco and funk music like from (Studio54 or Paradise Garage) was a perfect fit for the early disco-house time. He worked together with X-Tide promotion Ltd. and played on many events with Dj Robin T in his home town. His dance floor experience enabled him to read his audience and always select the right sounds for a deep pumpin house night.
He played in every location in Dortmund since that time and became a resident Dj for the Liquid-Lounge 2002-2004. After that he played on many events in Germany and focused on his musical style that can be described as:
House-music: especially from deep-house, soulful-house, broken latin beats and balearic rhythms to tribal, dub & tech-house.
