In 2017 it was the special 25 years anniversary when ASK:ME started his hobby to be a DJ. He practiced after school in the club where he worked behind the bar – yes seriousy he worked with just 15 behind the bar in a nightclub in his hometown. His first set was in this night club in Ingolstadt where he spun his first records in a age of 15. It was one of his most magical moment and soon his hobby became his lifetime part. He played for many events in his hometown and nearby. After 4 years spinning in his hood he felt like to do the next step and moved to Munich where he started a few residencies at the legendary Fat Fugo or Mandarin Lounge where he played with the likes Woody, Sven Vath, DJ Hell just to name few and many more shows at the legendary Ultraschall, Parkcafe, KW ect…. Then he became part of Partysan where he hosted events like Rave On Snow, Thai Break, Rave On Cruise and yearly Love Parade Berlin with own trucks with them. His biggest strike in the early years for which he is still proud of – he was part of Pulverturm, where he became also a resident till the end. The legendary Sundays had guest like Loco Dice, Chris Liebing, Sven Vath, Richie Hawtin, Westbam and more. While that time he also reached many international gigs and played show in Spain (as example at Moog Barcelona), Russia, Austria, Switzerland (Streetparade, Rohstofflager, Supermarket in Zurich) just to name a few. His biggest show in his young age which he still remebers was def. the Millenium Beach Party of San Miguel at Boracay Beach, Phillipines.
