hannes bruniic:



he was born 1973 in ljubljana (slovenia) and lives in salzburg
(austria) since 1976. music always has fascinated him, and already at a
very early age his parents gave him an insight into pop music and
disco. after school he worked all day long at several music-stores
listening to the newest vinyls.

his influences & inspiration include all manners of music from disco, italo-disco, house to modern day "heroes".

he started djing in 1989 in different pubs in the city of salzburg. at
first he only produced the mix tapes for the bars because he was too
young to work there. due to the very nice fact that everyone loved his
music he founded the private label “hava corporation” & “hawk
productions”. by reaching the age of 18 he worked in the most renowned
music-pubs & gave special gigs at the best clubs and discos in
town. he became a specialist in 80s music style which gave him the
chance to play at several 80s clubbings all over the world (spain,
italy, korea, indonesia, germany...). his strenght was pure 80s house
music.

by now his style has developed to a mix of vocal-, electro-, progressive- and techhousemusic with a touch of classic.

2005 he founded his own agency and brand – DJ CULTURE. the agency not
only scouts top quality djs, acts and dancers but also organizes and
executes diverse music events. he works together in different ways with
djs like david guetta, arno cost, joe t. vannelli, joey negro, markus
gardeweg, mischa daniels, stephano prada, the tunebrothers, k-klass,
steve forest, nicola fasano and many more.

since 2007 he is the resident dj of the legendary CLUB HALF MOON which
is salzburg’s first and renowned club making its debut in 1972. the
half moon meanwhile is the "ultimative mythos" in the town of salzburg,
besides, selling the first can of "red bull energy drink" worldwide in
1989.

2009 he founded “dj culture records”. the aim of this new music label
is to operate the next house generation and offer a plattform for young
djs. by now he still works as producer and remixer, inspired by artists
such as laidback luke, axwell, albin myers...

the name and brand “hannes bruniic” stands for a high quality dj and upcoming producer.
