Mainly these biographical key points and his (now over two
decades spanning) DJ experience are the base for his formula of pathos,
calculated dilettantism and dance floor functionality that characterize
all his productions. Take the infamous „Geffen“ or his earlier work
with Cologne Tape on the EP „Render“, the first release on his own
conceptual imprint Magazine, that he co-runs with Crato and Jens-Uwe
Beyer. "Render" and his debut solo EP „What Is A Number, That A Man May
Know It?“ became instant underground hits in 2010 and the records are
precious collector's items ever since.
At that time he was already an established part of the
music scene in Cologne, the city where he finished first his Biology and
subsequently his Art studies (carving out the two poles „accuracy“ and
„free rein“ in his development again). In the fruitful atmosphere of
Cologne he still lives and from here he further evolves his
idiosyncratic style, which already brought him from Robert Johnson to
Trouw, from Montreux Jazz Festival to Mutek México, from Berghain to
Burning Man.
