BEHOLD REC./MIAMI
Glasba je bila njegova prva ljubezen – in še zmerom je ! Če ga vprašate, kaj je najpomembneje v njegovem življenju, vam bom odgovoril: »Beat, Bobni, Bassline – Ritem srca: House glasba !
Že od svojih mladih let je oboževal glasbo: Naj si bo to hard rock iz 70-ih, nova romantika 80-ih, ali pa ritmi 90-ih, v vseh letih rolanja okrog ni nikoli izgubil svojega občutka – zmerom pripravljen na nov korak glasbene evolucije. Razlog verjetno tiči v tem, da je večino svojega življenja preživel v gibanju, kot svetovljan, rojen na Dunaju, odraščal v Nemčiji in krajša obdobja preživel tudi na Hrvaškem, v Švici in vroči Španiji. Kot tapravi žurer pa si je ogledal vse omembe vredne klube blizu in daleč!
Njegova kariera se je začela leta 1987 v majhnem klubu v hrvaškem Dubrovniku, kjer je prvič imel priložnost rolati komercialno glasbo. V letu 1991 ga je njegova pot vodila nazaj v Nemčijo – natančneje v Augsburg, kjer so hitro prepoznali njegov talent in ga nato redno angažirali za nastope v raznih klubih, kakor tudi festivalih. Nekega nedeljskega jutra 1993 je povabil nekaj svojih prijateljev v en klub, zgolj z namenom nadaljevanja ene izmed zabav – tako se je rodil t.i. After Party !! Ta klub je bil leta v eni kleti – kot tak skoraj vsako nedeljo ena in edina možnost za nadaljevanje zabave. V letu 1994 je v Augsburgu odprl svoj prvi klub po imenu XTC. Po šestih uspešnih letih v Nemčiji se je vrnil v Ljubljano/Slovenijo in prevzel klub, namenjen študentom – klub KRA KRA. V letu 2002 z otvoritvijo svojega drugega kluba imenovanega SING SING, dokočno odkril svojo ljubezen do house glasbe.
Leto kasneje je zopet začel organizirati zabave After Party in se predstavil širši javnosti skupaj z DJ Umkom in ostalimi pomembnimi slovenskimi DJ-i. »Kralj Afterpartijev« je bil rojen ! Med leti 2004 in 2008 je bil rezident DJ in promotor takrat največjega kluba v Ljubljani - Fun Factory.
Leta 2007 je, istočasno z praznovanjem dvojnega osebnega jubileja - 40 let in 20 let aktivne kariere Dja (v družbi 30ih Djev in 1000 prijateljev), imel tudi čast prvič nastopati na Ibizi. Istega leta je z svojo produkcijo Zero Absence tudi posnel svoj prvenec: »I found a Star«, prav tako pa je sproduciral tudi video z naslovom » I found a Star« (Med turnejo » People from Ibiza« Amnesia World Tour 2007). »I found a Star« je takoj postal uspešnica na vrhu domačih glasbenih lestvic in potem, ko ga je izdala založba Behold Recordings iz Miamija, je bil vabljen in tudi 6 krat nastopil na festivalu Miami WMC 2008. Pri isti založbi je leta 2009 izšla tudi njegova druga uspešnica z naslovom »Don't«
Do sedaj je nastopil takorekoč vsepovsod, od vročega Miamija do še bolj vroče Ibize, od barvitega Londona do divjega Paga (t.i. »Hrvaške Ibize) v klubu Papaya, med drugim pa tudi v Italiji, Turčiji, Avstriji, Španiji ...
Po več kot 20 letih nastopanja po celem svetu – z največjimi svetovnimi imeni house glasbe se je leta 2008 odločil za počitek, toda letos, po treh letih – bo leto 2011 zopet njegovo !!
Keep on groovin'!

Music was my first love...and still I'm in love!
If you ask him, what is most important in his life...he will answer to you: The Beat, The Drums,The Bassline...The Rythm of the Heart: HOUSE MUSIC!!!
As long as he can remember he loved music...the Hard Rock of the 70's, the New Romantic Style of the 80's, the Beat of the 90's...in all this years of spinning around he never lost his feeling, always for the next evoluiton step. The reason is maybe that he lived most of his life as a Globetrotter, born in Vienna, growen up in Germany, for short periods he lived in Croatia, Switzerland, Spain and checking out club's all around the Globe as an Partyanimal.
He's DJ career started in 1987 in a small club in Dubrovnik/Croatia, where he played commercial records for the first time. In 1991 his journey took him back to Augsburg/Germany, where he was quickly noticed and regulary hired to play in numerous Club's and Festivals, also in 1993, one sunday morning, he invited some people to a Club in Augsburg just to continue one party – the After Party was born!!! For years was this Club in one basement, almost every sunday morning the last exit for Partypeople! In 1994 he opened his first Club called XTC in Augsburg. After 6 successful years he left Germany and went back to Ljubljana/Slovenia to open a new Club called KRA KRA for students. And in 2002 with the opening of his second Club SING SING he finally discovered he's love for House Music.
One year later he started again to organize After Party's and introduced himself to a larger audience side by side together with UMEK and other important DJ's in Slovenia. The „King of Afterhour“ was born!
From 2005 till 2008 he was resident DJ and promoter of the biggest Club in Ljubljana, called FACTORY.
In 2007 he played for the first time on Ibiza, that year he also celebrated his 40th birtday and 20th anniversary being a DJ together with 30 DJ's and over 1000 friends. The same year he recorded with his production ZERO ABSENCE his first track „ I found a Star“ and produced also a video during the AMNESIA WORLD TOUR 2007 (People from Ibiza). The track became a National Nr.1 hit and after the release for Behold Recordings/Miami he was invited to present the track at 6 gigs during the WMC 2008
Till now he played almost worldwide, from Miami to Ibiza, from London to the island of Pag – the Croatian Ibiza...(Club PAPAYA)...Italy, Turkey, Austria, Spain...etc.
After more then 20 years of playing across the world side by side with the biggest names of Housemusic, 2008 he took a personal break...2011 will be he's year again !!!
