Equipped with a perfectionism that sets him apart from the competition, his unrelenting DJ sets soon conquered one dancefloor after the other, quickly making him one of the most infamous DJs that Germany has to offer. When he isn’t sharing the stage with the scene’s biggest names, he is busy running his award winning imprint Hanzom Music, founded back in 2018. After unleashing his debut track „Hurricane“, featuring legendary MC Coppa, in November 2023 to massive acclaim across the whole scene, he kept up the momentum with „Shimmer“, a collaborative venture with Dutch veteran Sinister Souls, and remarkable remixes for TR Tactics' Hanzom classic „Obsession“ and the seminal Neurofunk anthem that is Prdk's "Ragga Dagga“.
