Tomas Drex PODCAST 016 - guestmix by Upgrade

DJ Upgrade got in touch with electronic music at early age thanks to Chris Liebing show Cosmium - it was in 1996. First personal contact with music scene was after one year at legendary club in Brno - Under Planet. In his age he was surprised by this music and he decided to record his first mix. It was small step to start with training. He was influenced by Adam Beyer's mix on Orion Hall party. In 2003 he bought own equipment and he started with training on 3 turntables. In 2007 comes the opportunity to play on wednesdays parties at club 7. Nebe. In 2008 comes fatal meeting with LJ Doxster when they made first party FullHouse in club Doubledeck in Brno. His next resident club is "Tesne Vedle", where did club nights called Listen2. Thanks to opportunities which actual DJ softwares offer he leaved turntables and started using laptop and CDs. In 2009 he played on many parties. He got chance to be part of Magnett booking, which helps him in promotion. He is playing in clubs like Fleda, Perpetuum and on well known party Apokalypsa, which is one of the best in Czech Republic. His actual sound is influenced by labels like 8 Sided Dice, Truesoul and Drumcode and he is playing techno with minimal elements. In 2011 he found brand MAXIMAL with his friend Nois. TRACKLIST: 1.
