Mr.Fonk was born in Nuremberg / Germany in 1979 and soon came in touch with the music of the 80s: Wave, New Romantic, Italo Disco but also genuine Radio Pop began to inspire him. His love for music started to strengthen through House & Techno during the 1990s. This special, subcultural scene was exactly what he had always been looking for. Regularly visiting clubs like "mach 1" in Nuremberg, “Ultraschall” in Munich, “U60311” in Frankfurt or “Stammheim” in Kassel that pleasure grew deeper. By the year of 2000 he made his first steps behind the turntables. Between 2001 and 2005 he was playing gigs throughout Germany – “Harry Klein” in Munich, “ARM” in Kassel, “Hirsch” and “Zoom Club” in Nuremberg, “Orange” in Stuttgart or “Kunstwerk” in Cologne, just to name a few. In 2005 he made a completely new start in Frankfurt, playing in countless small & big venues like U60311, MTW, Tanzhaus West, Silbergold, Rockmarket, Ruderclub, LIDO, etc. In Frankfurt Mr. Fonk also started the "smile for a while" party series, in 2011 - together with his partner in crime D.Soul. Parties in well-established clubs, illegal open airs and offlocation raves featured international innovators like I:Cube, Vakula, Move D, Culoe de Song, Anonym, etc. The next step was a record label, releasing music of friends and young newcomers from Frankfurt. Since the start in 2013 there have been tracks of acts like Cassius, Johannes Albert, Matthieu Faubourg, San Laurentino, Monosoul, Janis and many more. Mr.Fonk’s versatile, cross-genre sound reflects his obsession with Dance Music. It’s not about playing hits or about latest musical trends. It’s about sharing positive emotions in a safe club space, where people feel free to go crazy. His sets are taking the crowd on a journey, into sound, time and space, featuring pumping House Music, straight Techno, funky Disco and more likely, everything in between... In August 2015 Mr.Fonk moved to Berlin, playing frequently in clubs like ://about blank, KitKat, Chalet, Renate, Polygon, Loftus Hall and many more. In 2018 and 2020 two residencies followed, at KitKat Club for "Disco Bizarre" and in "Christa Kupfer."
