First Musical Steps:
Bassbottle was born in 1982 in at that time still splitted Berlin. It wasn’t long until he discovered how to make sounds on his chimes and electric piano.

As a child people often saw him drumming on several objects.
Youth And Electronic Music:
In his childhood he discovered electronic music. Fascinated by the rave hymns of the time and tape recordings of Hardcore and Gabber parties from club Bunker Berlin, he in 1996 took the chance to make his own debut track on a friend’s Amiga. With that he constructed a song based on a melody he had in mind for years before. From now on he knew his way.
Progression:
With the years his tracks became better and harder more and more. He also found out what the word „Schranz“ means, on which style he from now on conformed to. But also more tribal Techno stayed the ultimate for him.
In 1999 Bassbottle started deejaying and his record collection grew.
