Born 1969 and raised in Vienna. Having a Jazzband playing “(I wanna hear )Alexander`s Ragtimeband” in front of the hospital, where he was born, must have been an omen! As his father plays the cornet (same as Louie Armstrong) and was founding member of the legendary Vienna Storyville Jazzband, afro-american-music was always present until today. After a not-so-important dinosaur-rock&metal listening-period, electronic influenced music came in focus. Early 90s brought attention to hiphop and techno. In 1993, working in the Blue Box ( the first Viennese Pub featuring DJs seven days a week!) raised the desire to buy vinyl and play them in public. Too broke to buy decks for home-practice, X&I terrorised the Blue Box audience with awful mixing and compiling skills. But, eventually, after a looong period of learning-by-doing in public, he must have developed some skills and the ability of selecting top tunes for his sets, and he soon was booked all over Vienna. Being supported by important people like Djane Tina303, Abraxas (both from Radio FM4) and other local heros, experience and fun teamed up to form a widely respected DJ, member of the international DJ and VJ Organisation “projecteast.biz”, member of the highly praised “Gang Radio Show” on FM4 who together promote the “Gang`s Draugstore and Warehouse” Events, promoter of his own “Work That ” House partys and editor of GURU-music-magazine.Show less
