About
After debuting with his Soon EP on Graz’ Houseverbot imprint in 2005, he has been constantly evolving his unique sound, heavily influenced by Broken Beats, Techno and IDM-ish sounds. Over the last years Simon’s music enjoyed support by artists like Dj Distance, Boomnoise, Bunzero, Rob Booth, Oli Marlow, Whistla and many more. His intoxicating live-shows and DJ-Sets have already fascinated audiences all across Europe. In 2010 his tunes could be found on labels like Haunted Audio, Echodub and Paradise Lost. The intricate and funky drum work of his productions brought him attention of Bristols well respected Immerse Records where he released an EP in Oct 2010. For 2011/12 more releases on US-based label Haunted Audio, Bristols Phuture Shock Musik, Paris' B.yrslf and others are scheduled.

Reviews:
The use of percussion is as interesting as anything the Hessle lot put together.
(DJ Mag, UK)
“On arette tout” pflegt einen Funk, wie in zuletzt Photek perfektioniert hat, ist dabei aber weniger fordernd, sondern eher auf die Magie des Offbeats fokusiert. Hell yeah, mehr davon.
(Thaddi/De:Bug, Berlin)
Das ist ebenso deep wie magisch und klingt so lässig nach nichts anderem.
(Bleed/De:Bug, Berlin)
We were taken aback by the intricate drum work
(Oli Marlow/Sonic Router, London)
Excellent techy electronics & breakbeats infected left field dubstep
(Hardwax, Berlin)
For fans of Hessle Audio, 4 Hero and the Mindset crew
(Boomkat, Manchester)
Defintely one for the weirdo crowd!
(Superdefekt/WhatPeoplePlay, DE)
Quite original in the midst of all the dub(step) techno we get at the moment
(AdNoiseam, DE)
When a track called No Pills appeared on Immerse Records back in October 2010, it literally blew us away.
