and is one of Berlin's first underground Jungle DJs and Activists.
Tricky got involved in Berlin's cult underground club "In Eimer"
and met up with Mez. They became members of the first
German live Jungle band Elektronauten, when creativity was faster
than bureaucracy.
The following years were filled with touring, djing, studio work and
releasing music under different names together with General Elektrick
and friends.
In 2001 he opened the Tricky Tunes Record Store @
Mainzer Str 8, 10247 Berlin specialising in Jungle, D 'n B,
Reggae and cutting-edge Breakbeats.
In 2002, he spent some time in Jamaica, where he and Mez did recording
sessions with local vocalists, and decided to start their own record label:
Tricky Tunes. Their releases have featured many international
vocal talents such as Daddy Freddy, Labrador , Lyrical Banton,
Por Razones De Estado, Bongo Chilly, Soultrain, Brother Culture,...
Member of Digital Roots Movement, Berlin based collective of musicians, producers, djs, video artists and music activists. Representing BASS music and Soundsystem Culture, DRM is operating Hi power "Irieland Soundsystem" (10.000 W of warm bass and clear highs)
Bassplayer of "Dark Light", Dubstep Project, together with Supa D (a.k.a. Supa Dj Dmitry founding member of Deee-lite) and AlDubb (One Drop Rec)

Review: "Don Goliath's "Bagstep EP" (DDR030) is one of those innovative EPs showcasing how versatile Dubstep can get. The unique idea of creating Dubstep versions of celctic (Irish as well as Scottish) folk classics for all you drunkards longing to sing along was Don Goliath's motto when producing this madness. The concept is as simple as effective: he picked 4 of your grandpa's favourites such as "Old Skibbereen", "Scotland the Brave", "Drunken Sailor" and "Amazing Grace" having the melody played by a definitly non-sober Bagpipe section and then layering it with lofi mid range wobbleism - we therefor call it Bagstep. Overall production quality is high grade with that intense sub focus so you can blow-dry your hair right in front of the bass bins. Now let's get into the tunes: "Skibbereen Bagstep" is one of the melancolic minor tunes expressing Irish history as it is. It is an unmixable 3/4 waltz beat at unusual 154bpm, well dancebal though when one moves to the triplets. "Bagstep the brave" should be one of the sickest rebuilds of the Scottish national anthem making it Mel Gibson's signature tune if he had one. "Drunken Bagstep" is a Glitchfest version of the sailors anthem capable of getting you uberdrunk by listening alone, Arrrr! "Amazing Bagstep" is as religious as it gets making it a tune that'll certainly safe xamounts of lost souls. Enjoying the dancefloor got even easier now: drink out the bar, make your skirt fly and sing along to these (future) classics! Some will hate this release and some will love it, there barely is anything in between. All Dubstep Division crew salutes the latter as our fellow beerheadz! cheeeeeerz!"
