DJ & Producer | Acid / House / Tech House
Music has accompanied him all his life. At the age of 10 he began to play the trumpet in the church choir. From the confirmation money the first hi-fi system was bought and the first tapes were recorded. Later there was a mixing console and 2 turntables for the first parties. As a later IT specialist, he had burned his first music compilations on CDs.
In 2020, he fulfilled a wish on recommendation and bought a Traktor DJ console and tried his hand at DJ mixing. With the accompanied Ableton Lite software version he dealt with the track production. Through the Sinee Institute in Cologne, he was able to familiarize himself well and later produce the first tracks. Accompanying the submitted tracks was the first feedback from the mentors. After the end of the 6 course months he was able to produce the first 4 track EP under the stage name Softvalley. He was also able to apply for a call for tenders for a club compilation.
Very inspiring for him is the sound and the possibilities of the Roland TB-303 and the plugins of the RolandCloud, u-he, Arturia, Korg; Eventide and Plugin Alliance. Through the Masterclass, Robert Babicz also taught mastering skills.
At the moment he says that he still hasn’t discovered any special music direction: „I like to play with plugins and discover more and more the possibilities of sound design!“
He has chosen his second stage name Hardvalley and to separate the music directions.
