Born in Austria, Mr.Bassdiver became a DJ because he 'liked to share music with other people. When I was younger, I'd listen to Tiestos Tracks, where he would remix and cut up different tracks, and I just thought - I want to do this!' The productions came later, in 2004. 'I really wanted to produce music that I could play in my sets, because it brings much more fulfilment to the process. I bought some computer programs, and just started working on it.'

Though known primarily for his pioneering contributions to the trance scene, Bassdivers style is now a mix of everything: 'trance, house, techno - it's the best of all that the dance world has to offer. In 2000, I was really a trance DJ, but now I've travelled round Europe so much, different influences have seeped in and I play a bit of everything. I think the only way forward for DJs now is to play a diverse mix of sounds.' Indeed, his brand of trance was always pushing at the constraints of the genre anyway
The many high profile gigs and shows have now taken Bassdiver away from exclusively playing clubs, and propelled him to become a mainstream artist.
