You live in a city we really like. What makes Cologne so special according to you?
Well, it’s difficult to describe but I think every city has it’s own typical vibe and Cologne has a special one either that you will notice or experience when you would start living here.
What have been the main influences that got you started with electronic music?
At first, my ex-girlfriend who showed me some kind of house and techno music and who introduced me to some electronic clubs here in Cologne. After that my interest grew and over the months and years it was a little journey to discover my own special taste but I think I found my place and taste now.
How has your music been influenced by other artists, musicians, or life in general?
I like to make and to play music that works especially in the club. When I was in a club as a guest some nights really impressed myself where I got inspired for example a night with Pete Tong and Solomun in Pacha Ibiza or a night in Colognes Gewölbe with Robert Babicz and another one with Ellen Alien. At the Moment I like the music of Jobe, Patrice Bäumel, Tale of us, Monolink and others a lot.
What skills/personal attributes are most important to be successful?
Effort, diligence and a bit luck 🙂
What can we expect from the mix?
In some kind, you will discover my personal taste in music and music I like to play. It’s a mix of dreamy, hypnotic parts from which I like to break out to euphoric parts. Hope you like it!
What is your absolute favourite track of the moment?
There are many good tracks but when I have to name one I would say Monolink – Swallow (Tale of us Remix).
