Projects & Skills
DJing
My music is defined by bounce and groove rather than
excess.
It’s not overly playful or overloaded, with balanced build-ups and breaks that don’t
always need to be long or epic.
I prefer solid, heavy energy over spectacle.
I play across a wide tempo range from 80 to 135 BPM, but in clubs I feel most at home
with techno and tech house, driven by a deep, powerful low end.
Overall, I describe my sound as deep and grounded. You can listen to these sets on
soundcloud.
Downtempo
Producing
DJing is powerful and fun, but additionally the
production of
professional tracks across different genres catches me like crazy.
I’m strongly motivated by curiosity and the long-term process of shaping my own sound.
At the moment, my main focus is on progressive techno. You can listen to my production on soundcloud.

Guitar
I have been playing guitar since my youth. I started with metal,
which still influences my music today through energy, tight riffs, and strong dynamics.
Over time, I moved toward more atmospheric and spacious sounds, inspired by artists like
Pink Floyd.
Today, I am taking jazz guitar lessons to deeply understand music theory and bring warm, analog guitar textures into my live sets and productions.

Singing
For a long time, I believed that I can not sing.
For the past two years, I’ve been taking vocal lessons and discovered it as a deep form
of self-expression.
Singing feels like an expression of the soul and has become a natural and powerful addition to my music.

Community
Music is more than just sound. It connects people. Through rhythms
and lyrics, music tells stories shaped by different cultures and lived experiences. I
associate techno with freedom, spaces beyond social norms, hierarchies, and fixed
identities, as well as openness, awareness, inclusion, and self-determination. It
represents vision, resistance, and a blueprint for alternative futures, which is a need
currently.
Beyond the music itself, I am actively involved in Korajo collective. Together, we create intimate, family-like events that strongly embody these values. Within the collective, I manage awareness, crew care, finances and play as a resident artist.
