Jochen Miller.
Aus: Amsterdam / NL
Move's on: High Contrast.
Biographie: History
In his early teens Jochen developed his interest in dance music. The lucky fact of his father having a discotheque gave him the opportunity to practise on his mixing skills. There he became resident deejay at the age of 16, followed by a residency at club Zino's (Tilburg, The Netherlands) when he was 18. In 1999 he made it to the finals of the Dutch mixing championships at Dance Valley, where he stood out from the rest because of his scratching, looping and mixing with three turntables. Deejaying at afterparties in the Lexion (Westzaan, The Netherlands) was not only a blast but also instructive. Since 2001 started his infamous residency at The Matrixx (Nijmegen, The Netherlands). ‘The surprise of the year' the authoritative Dutch ID&T Magazine denominated him, at the first edition of the Dutch dance-awards in 2003. The two following editions kept him at a steady 13th place, with only 4 international trance DJ's ranked above him, so Jochen Miller is sticking around to cement his position at the forefront of dance music.
