André Galluzzi

André Galluzzi is born on July, 18th 1973 in Frankfurt/Main, Germany. In 1989 he had his first appearance at the "Pie" in Erbenheim - André was 14 years old, when he worked in the club behind the bar. The fact that the DJ was ill gives André the chance to fill the gap and changes his life forever. Beginning of the nineties André has regular bookings in a nightcafé where everything can be heard, from Black Music, Art of Noise to the first House/Techno Sounds from the U.S. At the same time, he has bookings in Berlin's legendary "Bunker" and at the "M" in Mainz. André works at the "Boy" record store in Frankfurt and has bookings in the whole Rhein-Main area.

Additionally, he plays at the "Turbine" in Berlin as well as in other clubs in Berlin. At the end of 1994, he joins the Neuton label, where he gets in touch with Paul Brtschitsch. The latter organises Open Air Parties in Wiesbaden and became aware of André through his marathon-like sets. He also makes contact with promoters of the "Terra Uno" events, who are booking André regularly from now on. André is now resident DJ at the "Park Café" in Wiesbaden, plays at the "Dorian Gray" in Frankfurt and at parties like the "Holy-X-Mas Rave" and the "Euphoria". The first TAKSI record is released at the end of 1995, and Sven Vaeth immediately takes it on his playlist. After the Love Parade 1996, the names of the two TAKSI drivers are already familiar. In 1996 André moves to Berlin. The "Tresor" booked him as resident DJ and he got his first international bookings in Sweden, Canada, Turkey, Holland and Switzerland. He releases on TAKSI, Ongaku and Force Inc. The very own TAKSI sound is created through André's experience in DJing in combination with Paul's technical abilities.
