GEETOX (*klagenfurt/carinthia/Austria) started dj-ing hip-hop/drum´n bass in 1996, inspired from his good friend DJ CUEING.. While always buying dnb-records, he preferred to practice his skillz in turntableism, making lots of scratching, beatjuggling and battling, and also was always additional part of the RAPUBLIK (www.dierapublik.com), a carinthian hip-hop group, doing show-acts on 4 turntables together with Cueing during their show.

GEETOX (*klagenfurt/carinthia/Austria) started dj-ing hip-hop/drum´n bass in 1996, inspired from his good friend DJ CUEING.. While always buying dnb-records, he preferred to practice his skillz in turntableism, making lots of scratching, beatjuggling and battling, and also was always additional part of the RAPUBLIK (www.dierapublik.com), a carinthian hip-hop group, doing show-acts on 4 turntables together with Cueing during their show. Also a hip-hop mixtape (“wicked plastic”), easily recorded , was sold this time
After playing sets in all locations in klagenfurt (kult, ballhaus, vitrino, cik-künstlerhaus, FM4-party, arabian club, ill bar, pankraz, mellow lounge...), some gigs in the rest of carinthia and over austria, he met some great live musicians and soon a group, called „FUNKY MANUVA“, was founded in 2000, where turntableism of two dj´s was combinated with live instruments like effect trumpet (Richi Klammer/trio exclusive), battery, analog-syntz and vocals also little bit based on drum´n bass.
Mostly these gigs were played on improvisation, because in autumn 2000, GEETOX went to live in VIENNA and also the members were settled all over Austria but also a gig in Weimar/Germany was played in may/2001. This should be one of the last ones, cause later the group was without the battery player, cause of a bad circumstance one one-off revival was done in 2003 but then the group splitted up!
In Vienna he really got addicted to drum´n bass, getting inputs from the great big events at FLEX (trife.life!) or WUK (bassinfection) for example so only dnb-records are spinned since this time!
His collection is always on top and reaches from powerful melodic stuff ´til dubby & other heavier tunes, not preferring a style best, so the sets are always full of variety, also combinated with scratches, dependent on the crowd&location
Good contacts to dnb-artists&labels around the world make sure, that the bag is full of brand new goodies all the time!
Because of this impression in the “big city”, GEETOX began to promote drum´n bass-events like ´BASSMESS´ in 2000 - in September 2004 it happened the 11th time – guests were the ones like: DJ Zinc, Simon´Bassline´Smith, Mc Stirlin, Dj Baggs&Jesse Man from NYC, Kasra Critical, Chris Inperspective, Aziz, Mat, and many many more - and other dj-lines (LIQUID BEATS – monthly night @ Mellow Lounge) in his former home town KLAGENFURT, where, since the burn down of the famous BALLHAUS (www.ballhaus.at), no regulary big club exists, but he really established a scene in South Austria and things look good for the future!
On June 5th 2004 a FM4 La Boum de Luxe Party (w/DJ Zinc) was promoted in Klagenfurt.
Gigs in Zagreb/CRO (BassInvaders) and Ljubiljana/SLO (Liquid Grooves) were done this year!
Also a small New York City Clubtour was done in October 2004, where three gigs were played: KONKRETE JUNGLE, DIRECT DRIVE, NO JACKET REQUIRED
Many gigs in nearly all important venues of Vienna were played (Flex, Wuk, Arena, Roxy, Monastery, B72, Wirr, Europa, Schikaneder, Blue-box, Tüwi, Donau, Sub.Zero, Couchuc ) and more will follow ?
Geetox has a residency at Vienna´s BEAT IT @ Flex, hosted by D.Kay & Raw.Full of Ill.Skillz and for CLOUD9, who host clubnights in Vienna and over Austria.
Also a carinthian breakbeat research called AUDIOSUITE (www.audiosuite.at) was founded in 2003, where all the dnb-heads from Klagenfurt are under a roof and push things forward! Show less
