SNORK | SOIREE DETROIT | PSYCHO THRILL | AUTHENTIC MUSIC

THE BORDER BETWEEN TIMELESS OLDSCHOOL QUALITY AND NEW SCHOOL UPFRONT INNOVATION IN TODAY'S ELECTRONIC MUSIC, just call it :: DRIVING,RAW & HYPNOTIC - TECHNO!

Baumann’s work as DJ and producer combining a solid and clear vision going beyond tasteful standards with an innovative way of exploring the sounds of tomorrow. He definitely has become over the years a confident performer that can easily electrify the dance floor with his emotionally and technically state-of-the-art sets. This has made him an undeniable vinyl expert as resident of PSYCHO THRILL, but also a recognized DJ that dares to transcend the “classic” rules in the genres Techno and Acid. Of course Baumann shows the same confidence and authenticity with sound specific sets in which his special love for Techno, in particular for the raw and hypnotic styles, will always be the strongest element. His commitment to the underground is the essence of it all…
Baumann’s concept and greatest goal is to be able to capture the crowd and transport it to the sound of atmospherically condensed Techno and Acid far from the daily routine and tension. As an indisputable "defender of the vinyl" he owns an eclectic and constantly growing collection of more than 6000 records. Since the beginning of Cologne’s PSYCHO THRILL second phase, back in 2008, Baumann has been an active part of the label family.
In addition to his long-standing career as a DJ and producer, Baumann is also a certified Mixing & Mastering Engineer and founder of CB Mastering. With over 30 years of experience in electronic music and audio production, he offers a unique blend of artistic sensitivity and technical precision. Specializing in electronic genres – from raw Techno to deep Soul, Acid Jazz and beyond – his mastering work has become known for sculpting frequencies into energy that resonates both digitally and on vinyl. As a creative partner to indie artists and underground labels, Baumann combines analog warmth with modern clarity, always driven by an uncompromising ear for sonic identity.
Born and raised in Siegen [Germany], Baumann discovered his passion for Acid House as a teenager during the so-called “Summer of Love” in the late 80’s inspired by his uncle who was working as a professional DJ and promoter in the local club scene at that time. At the age of 12 he started “to work” the turntables and eventually really got into traditional DJ-mixing with the help and support of his uncle. He eventually managed to become a DJ and promoter himself at the age of 18, following the footsteps of his mentor who unfortunately passed away in 1998.
