Born in Germany in 1981, one could say Boris Brejcha was made for music, starting his musical education since as early as his childhood, in a moment where his father played drums, his brother was having keyboard lessons, and the radio and TV were filled with hardcore, rave, trance and techno music.

He began producing at the age of 12 and never released a song until he was 24, when he sent a demo for Autist Records. From there, he kept evolving his sounds, up until he noticed that techno couldn’t exactly describe his sounds, thus creating his own genre, “High-tech minimal”. Few years later, he also created his own label, “Fckng Serious”.

A curious fact about Brejcha is not that he only plays tracks he made himself, but his unique bond with Brazil: His very first booking was not in Germany, his home country, but in a festival called “Universo Paralelo” in Brazil. To differentiate himself from other DJs, he got the idea of using a Joker mask, inspired by Rio’s carnival, which he uses since then in almost every gig.
