DJ Rak3te started spinning vinyl around 2001, inspired by Roots Reggae and classical 70s, 80s and Steppers Dub. Heavily infected by Dubstep and other UK Bass sounds in 2003, his DJ sets are influenced by UK Garage, 2-Step and UK Funky, but he is also on the run for classical House and Techno music. Rak3te started the Klub Sir3ne nights at Fluc Wanne in Vienna in 2007 and is also coorganising the monthly Dubstep club nights RAW.
