MUSIC IS MY SOUL
Let's create an emotional Trance journey
Where it all started
In the late 80's we were a small group of friends from a Dancing Academy travelling every Wednesday after the course to the
MUSIC HALL in Frankfurt/Main
And there we found this totally new sounds of Synth Music with hard Bass and beats.
I totally felt in Love with these kinda Music and since then i am still in Love with this sounds that later in the 90's directed me to become a Techno & Trance DJ
The 90's
I started DJing in the Year 1991 and was clubbing several Years in the 90's and met very great People like DJ Taucher and Torsten Stenzel aka YORK, DJ DAG, TALLA, SAKIN and many many more.
My Style is hugely inspired by Torsten Stenzel's and DJ Taucher's Sounds and Productions. Both showed me how Techno and Trance works and so my Love for these Genres growed to unexpected hights and they still inspire me today.
The 90's had so much Influence in Music History and the most Big names have their Ground in this Times
The Clubs
In the 90's i played in several Clubs like one of the greatest Clubs in Germany The PALAZZO in Bingen, The ALLADINS in Augsburg and of course as a Resident for many many Years in the legendary
Afterhour Club CHARLYS in Ingelheim where i played from 5 O'clock in the morning sometimes till Monday morning as the whole crowd from all the other Big Clubs in the Rhein Main Area like DORIAN GRAY, MUSIC HALL, OMEN, PRODO X and many more came together to rave some more hours with me and my DJ partner DJ Sutain M
till Sundays sunset or Mondays Sunrise.
Crazy Times
In this decade between 1990 up to the Millenium 2000 the Music changed every few Months.
New Styles were established. Big Labels came like Liquid Rec., Planet Love Records, Eye Q Records and Hardhouse, Frankfurt Beat and many many more and they gave a platform for all these new inspiring sounds and artists.
Every Club had all the Big Names in their monthly Line Up and the "POSSE" took part; a group of hardcore Fans following their most loved DJ's to every Gig they play.
This was the Time the DJ's became the Stars.
The DJ
With all the different sounds available it was an easy step for me to start with DJing.
It was the Time of Vinyl and every week i bought new Records.
The typical DJ Booth setup was a mixer with two up to four of the legendary Technics 1210 MK II turntables.
There was no Beatcounter, Sync Buttons, Master Tempo or any kind of effects. To create a typical Flanger effect i played the same track on 2 decks synchronised
thats how we worked those days, all handywork
The Journey
I felt in love with so many styles that i created sets for my crowd to take them on a journey with soft warm ups to uplifts and then blasting hard Tech sounds to bring them up to the sky and then pushing even harder with Acid Sounds and great melodic Trance sounds, forwards, backwards, upwards, downwards and again up and down till the climax
to catch them softly at the end.
i never played under 5 hours to make a real adventure out of it and the tracks were so long with so much great parts in it and so i still do a set today
The 00's
in the Millenium times everything started to change. The Music splittet in several Sub Genres and the Main Styles Techno, Trance, House and later EDM became Hedlines for many ideas and sub labels.
Since 2000 my Heart went to Trance and so many great melodic orchestral and Vocal Tracks were created and so i concentrated more on Trance and my Techno Base went in an Corner but not forgotten.
Also the Digital way of Mixing established with the new Generation of CD Players that made everything possible with a CD the same way as with Vinyl.
WEB Radio
In the Year 2009 i started my very first Web Radio Show on one of the biggest Web Radio Stations for Trance AH.FM with my monthly Show SYMPHONIC EMOTIONS.
This Radioshow was dedicated to pure melodic and orchestral Sounds with some crazyness in it.
In 2010 i started to work for Silent Shore Records and became their label DJ with a weekly Label Show called Closer to you and also my
Show
ADVANCED TRANCE SOUNDS on Discovertrance.com plus loads of guestmixes for many DJ's for their Shows on several Radio Stations worldwide
Memorable Gig's
2010 the very first Live Event from the Radio Station AFTERHOURS.FM took part in the legendary
Moulin Rouge Club in Vienna.
I the honor to play side by side with Marcus Shossow and DJ Observer.
A Year later we brought real Trance to Vienna and established a Series of events called VIENNA IN TRANCE to Austria where nowadays only House was the key. I invited ReOrder to the first event and we created one of the best Gigs i ever played together with Daniel Kandi, ReOrder and Rene Dale.
One Year later i played in Swizerland on a 3000 People event.
Producing
I started producing in 2009 and my first release together in Colaboration with Slovak DJ and Producer ReOrder our first Track "Come with me to Varanasi" was released and made directly Tune of the week and Future Favorite in Armin van Buuren's
A STATE OF TRANCE
Our second release
"Sunset on Biana Beach"
in 2010 was suported by many DJ's
like Paul van Dyk, Aly & Fila, Sean Tyas and many more
Sadly ReOrder and me splitted and have gone different ways in the end of 2010
Thats the sadly way the music industry works.
New Ideas
After so many years in the scene i thought its over and time to leave it and doing something different in my Life, but just listening the Music i love didnt satisfy me enough.
I experimented with software mixing which was okay for a while but it still didnt gave me the feeling back what it means to spin records on a hardware setup.
In 2017 i started to make software based sets and publish them over some platforms like Mixcloud, Streamcloud and others to get the feeling like a Radio Show back.
2020 gave me the opportunity to finally buy a real Hardware Setup which is up to date and now i feel the Vibe again.
Mixcloud
As i started the Mixcloud Channel in 2017 the base was laid out and some of my shared sets went very well with some of the Top 20 placements.
So 2020 when i had my Equip back at hand i finally have started the three different shows i had in Mind. The Classix Podcast is the jungest add on i did wich will be every two weeks. My Symphonic Emotions Show is the Base for all kinda Musik that inspires me or i like alot and its the same Idea that started 2009 with the original Radio Show on AH.FM. The third Show;
LIFE IS A SOUNDTRACK
means to bring pure Emotions to the listeners.
upcomming
So what comming for you in the near future.
First of all i will start the new Podcast series The Classix Podcast where i will play only Classic Techno & Trance Tracks from the 90's to 2005 with some Artist or label Specials.
Second i will push the
SYMPHONIC EMOTIONS to new hights with 3 to 4 hour sets in the style of the BBC Essential Mix series.
The Life is a Soundtrack Series will be dedicated to the listeners favorite Tracks im asking for every month via my Facebook Page.
And as soon i've managed all technical Details i will go Live Streaming on Twitch and Mixcloud every Week with the freshest Tracks mixed with some classix and a lots of fun things during the stream to create a real live expirience with my listeners
at least i will get my hands on some good old Classix and gave them some modern sounding in my upcomming Productions.
