THE MAN BEHIND THE DECKS.

A — biography
elf-taught DJ and producer, started behind the decks at 13. By 16, techno had become the obsession — a fixation that's only sharpened over the years through countless DJ sets, sharpening the ear, exploring genres and subgenres until the selection became surgical.

After years as a DJ, the next step was production. Ableton became the workspace — sound design, composition, live performance, all in service of building a personal sound that doesn't borrow.

"the room you walked into was not the room you'd walk out of."

The selection runs through Detroit, hardgroove, industrial, acid, mental, hardtek, tribe, oldschool. The sets express sensation and power through hypnotic, engaging grooves. The lives lean into acid, mental and groovy territory — produced on Ableton 12 with virtual synths and professional plugins, with one rule: no trends, only emotions.

"scarcity is part of the art."
