It was in 1992 when mongroove came in touch with electronic music the first time. Enamored of the sounds, the beat-structures and the pictures in general this music drawn, he started to experiment. Sauntering thru whide ranges of the electronic dance music including techno, gabba, trance and noise he eventually settled down in ambient bacground music which brought some opportunities to have a little live-set here and there. After a while mongroove switched from ambient electronica over to technoid dance music again and from Amiga to the PC and the amazing tracker "Buzz" to have no technical borders in creating sounds, patterns and music anymore.
His DJ activities took long to become more serious. While concentrating on experiments at home and almost only technical support on events, he did not touch the vinyl that often. It needed a move to Berlin in 2003 to convince mongroove to step behind the decks on the dancefloor finally.
The music he plays on the decks often differs from those he produces. His sets go from light and chilly sometimes wired Minimal-Techno to hard and dirty electronic music and almost always includes some groovy and funky Techhouse or Detroit. But sometimes he also likes to play some experimental music or even some breakbeats. It fits what suits to the flow between himself and the floor.
His pseudonym was taken from Michael Moorcock's trilogy "The Dancers at the End of Time", which is a nice, wired, colorful and strange Sci-Fi / Fantasy / Love-story (quite unknown unfortunately). While the name was "Lord Mongrove" first, he dropped the "Lord" after a while and then later added an "o" in order to have people stop asking why he constantly misspell "groove"...
