D<\/b><\/span>J James Jive<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve been a DJ for almost 20 years and have played on a wide variety of stages, from Herrmanns Strandbar in Vienna to the Bregenz City Festival, from the Graz „Tuntenball“ to a strawberryfield in Carinthia. As a teenager I started to take over the music system at parties (whenever possible). I love to find the perfect background music for every moment. As a child I was musically socialized with Chuck Berry, Rolling Stones, Queen, Beatles or The Doors and Pink Floyd. After a short chaotic phase – where the Smurfs Compilations (!) also played an important role – I found myself in German indie rock by Tocotronic, Die Sterne or Sportfreunde Stiller during puberty. I later played as a drummer in a pop-punk band (Los Finitos – rock on!), which brought groups like Green Day, Blink 182 or Die \u00c4rzte into focus. Even heavier guitar sounds a l\u00e1 Nirvana, Korn or Limp Bizkit (how often did he say „Fuck“ in the song „Hot Dog“?) found their way into my ear canals. As a 90’s teenager, the so-called 90’s trash (Lou Bega, Spice Girls, Mr. President, Scooter etc.) naturally also left its mark on my musical vita. The turn of the millennium brought a strong shift towards (first German-speaking) HipHop and Dancehall and Die Beginner, Sch\u00f6nheitsfehler, Seeed or Sean Paul showed me the advantages of these beat-heavy and very danceable music styles. These could also be mixed perfectly with break beats from Fatboy Slim or the Chemical Brothers. Shantel, Dunkelbunt or Fanfare Ciocarlia revealed to me that it was also possible to dance to Balkan beats in German-speaking countries. Always curious about new things, House, Drum’n’Bass and later EDM with its varieties from Dubstep to Electro House were able to warm my heart. As the drummer in my band General Hatzenbichler & The Apologists of Groove and Seduction, I also delved deep into the roots of blues-rock and renewed my interest in old heroes like Bob Dylan, Tom Waits or Muddy Waters.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the 2010’s Electro Swing slowly but surely crept more and more into my musical focus and after the first vintage wedding it became a specialty on my part. In addition, in the mid-2010’s I became part of the Salzburg electro swing collective Cirque De La Nuit, which together with my colleagues such as Troy Savoy, Mr. Harvey Miller and Schinowatz became a cornerstone of the Austrian electro swing party culture. Since then, this now very diverse form of electronic dance music has never let me go. So today I am washed with almost all musical waters and still love to play on the big and small stages and make people laugh and their hips swing!<\/span><\/p>\n
