About

Originally from Berlin (Germany), Amadeus has been pushing the sounds of Ragga / Jungle / Drum N' Bass for a decade now. He rose up playing clubs and raves all over Colorado, where he went to college, from massive "Roofless Productions" and "Together Productions" Raves to small but popular clubs such as SOMA in Boulder (Mixmag voted Top Ten club in the USA). His first high impact mix-CD "Phonik Boom" was released on Organik Recordings (now defunct) in 2000 and the following release "Midsummer Night Sessions" (Organik Recordings, 2001) was praised by BPM Magazine as "The music is sooo fine - drum and bass bliss. Props for not being the typical band wagon monkey. If this guy is in your neighborhood give him some props!" issue 02/01, and garnered him runner-up in the North-American DJ contest "Unleash the Beats". Currently living in Brooklyn, he travels throughout the US, Canada and Europe to perform his unique style of Ragga and Hip Hop infused Drum N' Bass, Dubwise and Ragga Jungle.

Not only active behind the decks he co-hosted "Plan B Dnb Sundays" in NYC from 2006-2008, a drum n' bass weekly with national and international guests, the ongoing "One Drop" Reggae event series as well a new monthly coming up called "King City Sundays". He is also the mind behind SURVIVAL STORY - The Ragga Jungle Compilation (http://www.survivalstory.net), with a second volume dropping in 2009. He puts out mix-CDs on the regular to great resonance in the scene (download them for free at www.musicv2.com/artist/amadeus), works on tunes including a collaboration with new school ragga jungle legend Krinjah (free tunes for download at http://www.virb.com/amadeus). He just completed his 4th consecutive yearly tour which brought him to Germany, Belgium, Holland, Romania and the Czech Republic (tour blog: http://amadeus030.wordpress.com/2008/06/11/amadeus-euro-tour-2008-blog).

Always comin' correct with loads of unreleased dubplates from international producers his unique sound is defined by versatility and crowd interaction, always inciting great respect and overall dancehall madness.
