Born and raised in Zxfcrich, Sarna is sure, that if he had not been living
in this City, he wouldn’t be where he is now. Zxfcrich is a City full of music,
ecxellent record-stores and a lot of dance!
There’s a lot of great musicians and producers and even more good DJ’s!
The Quality is high. It has a (not so) small but strong Minimal/Techno/Elektro
Underground-Scene. Since Cities law’s are quite liberal, Partys can go on for
a long time in Zxfcrich. This February, the Goodbye Party of Zxfcrichs most
(in)famous Club ‘Dachkantine’ went on for 5 days!
In ’95, at the age of 19, Sarna almost became a professional snowboarder. But he
changed his mind, totally quit snowboarding and started fondling around with
two turntables. He was into music allready since Sarna Senior bought a highend
Soundsystem to enjoy especially the Sound of ‘Pink Floyd’.
That’s probably, where Sarna’s dreamy and sound-conscious sides come from.
Snowboarding and Skateboarding brought him the Sound of the Beastie Boys,
Pain and Cypress Hill, Black Flag, Rage against the Machine and so on.
In School, he learned how to throw Partys and Events. Sarna took it further and
soon got involved with Straight Ahead Recordings and therefore more with the
musical blends of Jazz, Funk, Afro, Latin and Oriental.
Around the Milleniunm he was part of the Straight Ahead Crew and played many
legendary sets, mixing styles and make people dance like beserk.
As well he threw parties at some spectacular underground venues with his friends
such as Beat Club/Klinik or Brockenbeatz I-V counting around 20’000 people
coming to this two event series. Around this time Sarna made an appereance at
the Drum Rhythm 10 Festival in Amsterdam to, leaving happy faces on every
stage he played. After the Brokenbeatz/Nujazz Market broke down, and the
enthousiasm was gone, Sarna started to discover the shades of Techno, Minimal,
Elektro and later on with Disco, ItaloDisco and Wave.
In 2003 Dachkantine just opened and established itself as being the place for
Minimal and Elektro Artists and Djs. A new Period began. Average Partytime got
expanded by factor 3 at least. There where many Afterhours to play.
‘Straight Ahead, meeting Josz Lebon, reading ‘Last Night a DJ safed my night’ in
2003 and Dachkantine made me the DJ i am today.’
DJ Sarna is – fun, vibe, flow, surprises, melodies, stories, vocals, minimal, maximal,
freestyle*…. dance, *inside minimal/techno/house/acid/detroit/electro/clash/disco/
wave/funk
Together with his friend and partner Remo Clematide, Sarna is running a small
studio, where he spends most of his time to produce music, 3D-vizualizations and
animations. In 2003 Josz Lebon, Monica Electronica, Eldit and Sarna founded ‘Infamous Mudclub’.
Infamous Mudclub Parties take place in Antwerp, Amsterdam, Zxfcrich, London and
are to come in Tel Aviv. As well as Parties, the ‘bunch’ will release records soon!
‘Bootsjunge’ Eldit/Lebon/M.Electr Remix, released on the 12″ Compilation of
‘Ten Days Off’ was acclaimed by the press to be dirty-sch.. !

The Label ‘Infamous Mudclub Records’ is going to be born with a first release this year! A small but fine Label for elektro wave clash stuff.
Sarna also produces ‘MinimalTechno touched Stuff” so you can expect him to be
released on other Record Labels as well in the future…
He has a ‘live’-remix project based on other music, which is going to be in the
showcase by fall of this year. Just imagine using the programm ‘live’ as a dj set up
with 6 turntables, stripping each track to its basic and then create new remixes of
stuff you heard.
