How I Got Into DJing
I fell in love with electronic music at thirteen after watching Berlin Calling. I started on a digital setup four years ago, but didn't connect with it. Wanting to try vinyl, I bought two cheap turntables. As soon as I started playing records, I was hooked. Collecting physical wax and building my treasure chest of tracks became a complete addiction that I love.
Favourite Styles & Genres
My musical journey started with Bob Marley and house music, but I lean heavily into hypnotic sounds today. For Buzz Cuts Radio, I am bringing a deep, atmospheric mix of dub tech and minimal house. Through my Instagram page, @groove.archives, I also love digging for underground, forgotten electronic gems from the nineties and two-thousands to share with everyone.
Best & Worst Haircut
My favourite cut is a classic mullet—pretty stylish, cool, and it actually helps me go faster. The worst was in Germany when a language barrier led to disaster. I kept saying "yeah" to a barber's questions without understanding him, walking out with the sides shaved and a massive mound on top. I looked straight-up like a palm tree.
