Biography:
Got interested in electronic music in the early 90's. First influences coming from groups such as KLF, 2 Unlimited and Prodigy. From there on he went on to develop an interest in mid-European hardcore & gabber sound before widening his musical tastes with mayday, techno, rave and house sounds of the mid-90's, which was also about the time he started going to his first parties. Started dj'ing back in 1997 with mostly house sounds, but fell in love with trance in 1998 and has been down that road ever since. Nowadays his "usual" sets begin with beautiful and deep vocal tracks, continue on to more uplifting, driving sounds with a little harder edged trance with possibly some psychedelic and/or acidic elements added to the stew towards the end.
His career started of with some illegal, underground parties in the late 90's. In '99 he received his first public residency in the Club Vertigo alongside Karri K and Jules Nerve. From there on, he has made appearances in almost all the biggest clubs in Finland while also keeping in touch with the more underground scene. Start of 2002 brought along a residency in Devotion where he has performed alongside artists such as Astral Projection, RMB, Lange, Pulser, Mijk Van Dijk, Kai Tracid, Jan Johnston, Beat Pusher, Slusnik Luna and Cor Fijneman. Through the years he's also performed with people like Hardfloor, Robbie Nelson, Misjah, Orkidea, Bomfunk MC's, Raymondo and Mark Tyler. He's also done some radio appearances and has been nominated in the "DJ of the year"-category in Platinum Awards, which is viewed as the "Oscars of the finnish clubscene".
