Ianuaria

Hi! My name is Josef Hofinger, born in Austria, I`m a DJ since 1996 and I'm producing my own music since 2002. I started my musical career at the age of 6 as a drummer. I visited the music school for eleven years and played in various kinds of ensembles. During that period, I played bongos, congas, many other percussion instruments and subsequently the didgeridoo.
At the age of 16 I discovered the magic of vinyl, and started off as a DJ with techno music. Later, I bought my first psytrance record and directly fell in love with this kind of music.
