Early years (1990s)

I started making music on two 16-bit Commodore Amiga 500 and 1200 back in the 90s. I used a MIDI programme called OctaMed at that time and a few Breakbeat and Eurodance samples. Later I’ve got myself two Vestax turntables and a mixer.

The next chapter (2000s)

More hardware joined the studio, e.g. the legendary synthesiser Yamaha MO6. At that time I was experimenting with Hip Hop beats.

The Hamburg era (2010s)

I have finally switched from PC to Mac and replaced Cubase with Studio One from Presonus.

The future is now

Having set up a new studio I’m focussing on the production of Rave, Jungle, 90s-Hardcore, oldschool House and Techno. That’s where I come from.
