  • Bio

    DJ Mix August 2010 .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ....2010-08-06 Banshee High As A Kite.. by ..Banshee DJ.... Born in the legendary Kreis 4 quarter in Zurich in 1974, Marc Gabriel grew up in this multi-cultural quarter. It was just the right place to raise a curious kid like Marc. Being in his teens in the 80s, he took big impression from different sounds. The entry to the strange world of synthesizer pop he found with laser dance and he rested with this upcoming electronic beats for a longer time. Royal House, Bomb The Bass, Rififi are just some of the late 80s acidhouse acts that accompanied him into the nineties. In these wild times his long hair had to make place for a purple iroquese and his sound preferences changed to punk acts like the Sex Pistols, Dead Kennedys or The Exploited. Always on the lookout for new sounds, nobody was actually surprised when Banshee visited his first Techno rave in 1992, famous Dreamscape 1 in Zurich. This power and unlimited possibilities in Techno enthralled him on the spot. No limits or boundaries, no rules or conventions. Everybody was just allowed to be himself and tolerated. Appropriate is what u like! Shortly after he was talked into organising a Techno evening in a club of a friend of him. So thats when Banshee started his actual deejaying, this was in 1993 in the NeverEnd Club in Central Switzerland. Reactions where just huge and from then on he was regularly seen in the DJ shops searching for the newest and hottest vinyls. Labels like famous Eye-Q, Harthouse, Superstition or Delirium where just about his taste and frequently played in his sets. In this time the first Goa-openair-raves in the Swiss mountains started, as well as the legendary Happy Family raves in Lucerne and Chur. With his longtime friend and companion DJ Marquez he founded the DJ Team Space Force and they steadily developed their music progressively and away from the trance side. He was given the opportunity to play his music in locations like the famous Alcatraz Club in Riazzino, Magic Factory in Zurich, White House in Althenrein, Planet Electro in Malters, Schuur and Down in Lucerne. More than that, he had resident status with little cult party organizations like Kung Fusion and Art of Prometheus. Since Summer 2003 he is an active member of the cultural network for electronic music (ESYNC) in Lucerne and always willing to contribute to the party scene as well as to the development of subcultural music styles. He has a profound musical background and his open-minded type does make him a sound virtuoso with almost indefinite influences like Der Dritte Raum, Metallica, Jean Michel Jarre, Run DMC, Massive Attack, or Afrika Bambaataa. So he is often seen at different kinds of concerts where he listens to the diversity of music and afterwards, inspired by the music heard, hell implement these vibes into his philosophy and his own idea of electronic dance music. And this was how the newest project electric circus was born, in cooperation with DJ Marquez and DJ Mitura. The guys once more want to bring something new to the partycrowd as well as the underground scene. Now already established with monthly events in Lucernes Nr.1 Underground club, Level5. Techno, for Banshee, is a playground where anybody has admission. Its not the names and rules that count, only the quality of music and the excitement to conquer new ways and show people who dont have come in touch with yet. Just what youd expect from a sound virtuoso. .... ....
