Resides in Stockholm, Sweden :DJ / Producer

Manuel first got involved with dancemusic when he was 13. He discovered the dj/club culture from english magazines and the swedish radioshow P3 dans.

He early on decided to become a dj. Names like Carl Cox, Armand van Helden, Danny Tenaglia where the main big influences.

Manuel found techno while doing one of his regular recordhunting rounds in Stockholm.

He soon found stuff by artists like Cari Lekebusch, Dave Angel, Adam Beyer etc.. and nothing less of a cliche truly found his calling with this music, this was his medium.

Not having any money to buy real decks, learning to dj was a slow process.

"I learned to beatmatch on an old akai turntable from the seventies and a tapedeck with recorded snippets from radioshows. It took me about 6 months to do a proper beatmix!"

The following years went by and the music got put on the side.

These years went to the art of graffiti and later on computers and information technology.

In 2002 Manuel got back into music and started getting into producing and learning the tools of the trade. Using an oldass broken down p2 computer and a pair of gigantic speakers from the late seventies Manuel was in business.

In 2003 Manuel had his first release on Schlagwerx records which made impact on the dancefloors all over the world and with this he had found his calling.

2004 saw the 2 bombastic releases by Manuel on German labels Gad-X-Cell and Fastfood records, these records where praised by many media outlets and also got heavy playtime by famous dj?s like Dj Rush, Melanie Di Tria, Boris S, Dylan Drazen etc.

In 2005 Manuel helped resurface the legendary label Template records with two releases. (Voices vol.1, Voices vol.2).
This year Manuel also gigged around Europe extensively.
