"What is house music? A unique form of music that gives complete freedom of expression. It's real simple and it deals with anybody can understand. My definition of house music is what comes from the soul." Born in 1980, music already fascinated him at the age of 15. 2 years later he found his interest in house music. Listening wasn’t enough, he wanted to make house music himself and pass on HIS feeling for the unique music to other people. Only one year later – in 1998- the equipment was perfect and he spent his last savings on his first records. And it payed off. After a couple of partys at the club “Douala” in Ravensburg he started working as DJ and event manager for “Soundlabor groove system” in 1999. Soundlabor is an event agency, founded by a couple of his friends, specialized in house music events. Like this he had the chance to develop his musical skills, to unfold and to follow his goals. With success! After the legendary Soundlabor events at the club “Metro” and the club “Bours” which were organized by him and his friend Pascal Tsachuridis alone after a short while only, they took on the management of the club groove.jet in Ravensburg for half a year. There they worked with many famous DJs and like this added a lot to the regional house culture. Since that time no one could imagine the house scene without DJ Chen in South Germany. During this time he developed and developed, step by step– set by set. Chen became devoted to the “real” house music. For him this means music to hear, feel and live. Like a wise man once said: It’s a spiritual thing, a body thing, a soul thing.” This is the challenge DJ Chen took on and which the people appreciate him for. He keeps working on his style and meanwhile gave it a new direction (turntables, CDs, samples, filter, effects). Barely any other DJ of the region has such a good standing in the house scene as him. It’s no surprise: this man sets the air of any club on fire with his special mixture of music. The house legend – Mr. Mike from Switzerland, Syke‘n’Sugarstarr from Hamburg, the Tune Brothers from Stuttgart and many more belong to his circle of friends and admire his music. When they work at his home base they do not want anybody else but him at their side behind the desk. During his meanwhile very long career as DJ he has had many successful performances with famous house musicians like Felix da Housecat, Mr. Mike, Ian Pooley, Jamie Lewis, Axwell, Syke ’n’ Sugarstarr, George Morel, Eddie Thoneick, Milk & Sugar, The Beginerz, Tiefschwarz, Eddie Amador, Dani König, Sebastian Krieg, Eric D. Clark, Future Funk, Knee Deep, Plastik Funk, just to name a few. You can meet DJ Chen on a regular basis at one of his many events in southern Germany, Italy, Austria and Switzerland. He also still follows the tradition of making music in his home town at the club “Douala” twice a year. Besides that DJ Chen makes music at the street parade every year and you can listen to his music on national and international radio-shows (see “Discography”).
