1984 in

Leverkusen

First steps

It was in the spring of 1984 when I stand for the first time behind the decks. That was in a cellar of a Youth House in Leverkusen. More than 100 guests celebrated in the "phonothek“ and danced to "Sweet Dreams" of Eurithmics or to Queens "I want to break free". This 7“ Vinyl of Queen was the very first rekord I played in front of an audience. On a tangential turntable. I think it was Technics SL7 at the time. The turntables were absolutely unsuable for mixing. Touching the rekord while playing? Impossible …The happieness with music was and is still in the foreground for my work and of course the emotions that music can trigger. I don‘t like the DJs hiding behind their cappy and face down, I like to watch the people. Over the years I have been able to experience so many great moments.

Musik Ibiza & Radio

Ibiza have for me big musical influence. I‘ve spend many time on this lovely white island. In 2017 I played at the Club Hush in Ibiza based in Sant Antoni and was in 2017 & 2018 part of the Ibiza Radio Show on Wideline Radio and Sky Radio, which is broadcast live from the Mambo Studio Ibiza, directly above the world famous Cafe Mambo. In 2019 I played Poolside sessions at Destino Pacha Resort Ibiza, PlayaSol Mare Nostrum, New Algarbe & Jabeque. Since 2019 Ibiza Global Radio is broadcasting some of my sets. There were already all the biggest DJs of the world from David Guetta up to the king himself Carl Cox playing and now me, DJ of 69 :-). I definitely have there every time a lot of great experiences and met many great people, for example Anna Tur, Jack Eye Jones, Mark Loren, Max Porcelli, Woody van Eyden, Sanna La Fleur, Sounom & Dagon, Bakermat, Zonderling, Miguel Garji, Jose Maria Ramon, Neil Moore and many many more. Since 2019 different radio stations are broadcasting my weekly set of „AbSoulute Beach“ with slow and smooth deephouse music.

mixtapes

My mixtapes are all harmoniously mixed. I rekorded them with the DDJ-1000 from Pioneer or the Pioneer XDJ 1000mk2 or CDJ 2000 nx2 on. I prefer to play in clubs or festivals with the CDJs. Most of the time I released them on Beatport and Youtube and in August 2016 I was in first place of the worldwide Beatport TOP 100 DJ Charts and since then I have been there until the end of the service in December 2017 the TOP 20 of the DJ charts. My first number one mix was in August 2016 "Ibiza Summer - Vol. 2 - Chill at the sundowner" in the Beatport Mixcharts. Since then, there have been 16 mixes in the TOP 10, three of them in 1st place. Since end of 2017 they are already released on mixcloud.com. Best position in 2019 was 5th in the deephouse chart.

musical style

My musical style in the 80s was above all what danceable music was in the german TOP 75/100. In the 90s it was mostly Euro-Dance with Dr. Alban, La Bouche, Culture Beat, Snap or Robin S and more. At this time, for the most part, I even played in Pacha in Opladen, an unofficial dependence of the Pacha that only existed in this time in Ibiza. The famose two cherries, graced everything advertising effective, from the ground of the dancefloor, down to the slipmats on the SL1200s. Pacha Opladen was a small, but very cool club. Every time in my rekordboxes was Housemusic, which fits more in the real Ibizan Pacha. Preferably Deephouse, the funky & soulful housetracks as well as Downtempo and ChillOut and the classics of the 80s & 90s.
