As with many of the more dynamic turntablist-styled techno and house DJs, Deetron took his early cues from hip-hop, before being won-over by the early sounds of Chicago and Detroit. His DJing - then still in its infancy - followed this influence, steering in a more 4/4 direction and eventually landing him a resident spot at reputed Zürich club, Trax. Deetron's production career developed in tandem: Early work for labels such as Phont and Intec through the late nineties saw Deetron finding his audience (including a string of international club jocks) and developing his own sound. In the last few years, his production touch has graced many international labels, including Belgium's major techno imprint Music Man.
