Just Banks lives and works in Linz/Austria.
He began his musical career in 1994 by founding a local Hip Hop project. Later on he started DJing and took the road from Drum´n´Bass to Techno, House and Breakbeats.
By having a fancy for many different genres and playing nationwide gigs Just Banks rapidly gathered experience and his sets are now like a sure shot for the demanding party crowd.
In 2004 he launched the netlabel Comatronic which soon gained a high reputation in the netaudio community and minimal techno scene.
With his productions and dj sets being caught in a crossfire of influences, they always represent a well selected and party-approved blend of different styles, tempos and grooves.
Just Banks is a long-time musical companion of Marcus Füreder aka Parov Stelar and in 2006 he engaged the talents of the Bay Area-based collective Blaktroniks, who came up with the catchy vocals for his first release on Etage Noir entitled 360 Degrees.
Later he earned worldwide kudos for the funky breaks EP Bust A Move (featuring K-Sun aka MC Kemo) that was released in 11/2007.
The next things coming up are his first longplayer entitled Under The Influence (out May 30 2008), the "Blockparty" 12" (a collaboration with Coppa) and a banging Etage Noir Special release.

,,Wir alle bewundern den flitterübersäten Akrobaten, der im pudrigen Licht mit klassischer Anmut auf dem Drahtseil balanciert; aber wie viel mehr Kunst gehört dazu, in Vogelscheuchenkleidern auf einem schlaffgespannten Seil den grotesken Betrunkenen zu mimen! Gerade ich sollte das wissen." (Vladimir Nabokov)
Vielen Dank für die Freundschaft und musikalische Grüße aus München!
Guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr!
