NDKj

DJ and producer NDKj aka Andrea Quirico was born in 1981 in Novara (Italy). He became fascinated with electronical music – especially techno – at a young age and soon started djing himself. His first DJ appearance was in 1998 when he played in some smaller clubs and private parties in the North of Italy. At that time his sound was inspired by some of the big names in techno scenes who were known for playing hard but groovy techno. But “only” djing wasn’t enough and so NDKj followed his own ideas of techno and started producing and experimenting with new sounds. In 2004 he met fellow Italian DJ Mauro Alpha and they decided to work together.
