His true name is Mariusz Kopczynski. He was born 01.12.1981 in Thorn, Poland. His adventure with dance music started in the year 1994 when he's heard Scooter, Mark'Oh, Westbam, Marusha, RMB and many more... It was something new for him, but he was sure that dance music will accompany him through whole life... He knew that he will search this music for inspiration...

But he wanted more! His searches leaded him to new discoveries and new fascinations, such as The Prodigy, and genres like hardcore, happy hardcore, rave, dutch club music... The first time he have "met" trance music was in 1997 (he does not remember well), when he heard Paul van Dyke's "Forbidden Fruit". This track had a massive influence on him, actually listening to this track showed him the way in music, which he is walking till' today. Other great influence was the music from Blank & Jones: "Cream", "Afterlove", "Heartbeat", "Flying To The Moon"... During time when he was discovering trance music, he had a short adventure with house music, but it was just a short episode, he decided to stay in trance... Finally he found what he was searching for! In the next years came new DJ's to the scene, DJ's whose live sets and productions were really fresh end exciting. ATB, Darude, Woody van Eyden, Carlo Resoort, Ron van den Beuken, Sam Sharp, The Thrillseekers, John O'Callaghan, Lange, Pulser, Above & Beyond, Orjan Nilsen,(to name only a few). And that was a bullseye!

It is impossible to write them all here and it is amazing for him that every day is giving us new discoveries and new fascinations. Many people think that trance is the most melodic genre from all of the electronic music genres (and he has to say that he agree with this opinion in 100%) Music fills almost every moment of his life! That is why his favorite entertainment is partying on trance music events (of which some are really BIG)... He is not focusing on one trance sub-genre or ..d ring of known producers, as he think that searching is one of the most interesting thing in his music fascination... Oh, his other interests are: Girls, Movies and Football.
