Haha! The one million dollar question! As a DJ, I like to think I’m versatile and have a broad range, focusing more on what the occasion asks for than having a pre-established plan. I try to keep things interesting by playing diverse and varied sets with incursions into bouncy house, breaks, left-field techno and bass music.
My origin story is one of coincidences… The years as a dancer ended up giving me the final push I needed to start playing by bringing me closer to my really good friend Marcin, whom I had known for years at the time. Together with his housemate, they had an incredible music studio in their living room: from drum machines and synths, to guitars and records, a top notch DJ setup, a whole thing… It all seemed very fascinating and made me realize how little I knew about so many aspects of dance music. As we spent more and more time together, I realized that even though I didn’t know much, learning about it brought me a lot of joy.
From there, it kind of took on a life of its own: getting a first set up eventually spiraled into playing at house parties with friends, volunteering everywhere I could in the local scene, leading to first events as a DJ & promoter, and creating my former collective Second Nature.
More events, more DJing and more volunteering on, and that brings us to last year, when I had the privilege to start hosting Spin Cycle, my uplifting house-focused residency at Drift Radio and Bubbling Inside, another residency on Komrad, where I focus on deeper, more changeling and obscure parts of my sound. That was also when I started working at Drift Radio doing pretty much whatever was needed, which I must say has really been a wonderfully rewarding learning experience as we host so many different artists, radio days and events. Generally speaking, I get a lot of fulfillment from being involved in different projects and contribute towards giving something back. So, I try to stay curious and keep myself in the loop.
