Bio

Bios are hard to write. I’d honestly rather be doing something else. ;) But here are a few things mine would probably include:

  • Music is both my hobby and my job.
  • I’m a musician, DJ, and producer.
  • I’m an ex amateur skateboarder.
  • I recently started my own imprint, On The Quiet Records, and back in the mid-2000s co-founded Discotexas / DTX.
  • I’ve been lucky enough to collaborate with artists I genuinely admire. Name dropping? Sure: WhoMadeWho, Rampa, AWEN, Adana Twins, Jan Blomqvist, Rodriguez Jr, SKALA, ELIF, Sinego, Lazarusman, Vaarwell, Gisela João, DJEFF, Joris Voorn, Moullinex, Joplyn, Acid Pauli… I don’t take that for granted.
  • On rare and special occasions, I play live with my band - my talented friends Meta_, Arâm, and Vasco Cabeçadas. With them, everything shifts into a different sensory world. Not better, just different - and truly special.
  • I’ve released music on On The Quiet, Discotexas, Anjunadeep, Cercle, Moblack, Armada, Deutsche Grammophon, TAU, Watergate, The Moment…
  • I’ve made 3 albums, plenty of EPs, singles, remixes, and a few film soundtracks. Still no Grammy nomination :(
  • I’m still deeply in love with punk and hardcore - their sound, their ethos. It was my university. A big part of who I am and where my inspiration comes from.
  • I am a skeptical utopian.
  • I have mild tinnitus. Please protect your hearing.
  • I have no idea where I see myself in 10 years.
  • I love my parents.

Thank you <3
