as a  deejay

i started my musical journey as a hip hop MC around 1998. diggin in the crates back then, i'm now known for an astutely selected record bag that includes vinyl rarities within many different genres from hip hop, dub, funk and breaks to minimal, deep- and tech-house, jungle and little dubstep.

plus:
i love limited vinyl editions and making mixtapes. find all playlists in one file here (.pdf) and all downloadlinks with individual playlists there.

i played in several clubs around austria (Flex DubClub, Donau, Morisson Club, ...) and europe (Sugarfactory Amsterdam, Ghetto Club Istanbul, ...) alongside artists like Carlos Valdes, Marflow, Rider Shafique, Cerebal Vortex, Edit, ...
