Born in 1972, as son of a Hobby DJ, it was preprogrammed that Mellow would gravitate to music. By 1982, he had his first set of turntables to mix his growing collection of records together. The first 12" he bought, Living on Video by Trans-X, was the beginning of his interest in electronic dance music. All the way through school, he played parties both as DJ and as part of a boygroup together with three friends. It's ironic given his interests that Mellow didn't set foot in a club until he turned 17. From that point on, he was a regular, hanging out with the DJ's, checking out sounds, and listening to the latest club hits.

Before long, he got his first residency at the New Carina club in Pinneberg, Germany. He also started frequenting clubs in Hamburg where he got to meet Gary D. Soon they were collaborating on compilations for EDM Records, such as Hard-Trance-X-Plosion. Very quickly his reputation spread and he was invited to major raves all over Germany, Switzerland and Spain.

In 1996, Mellow started producing his own records under various artist names as well as remixing for other artists. In 1998 he released the track Phuture Vibes under the name Mellow Trax. It immediately became a major chart success on the German Dance and Pop Charts. His album Techno Vibes became the Best-selling German Dance Album of 1999. Public demand forced the release of the track Outa Space from the album as a single and it promptly turned into a massive Top 10 Pop Hit in Germany. Success in surrounding territories followed.

Techno Vibes, the debut album from Mellow Trax (aka DJ Mellow-D) is now available as a US release. Featuring the single Outa Space, the album explores the hard trance / club sound that is so popular right now and really tests it's limits, taking it to new heights in the process. It's 12 tracks of innovative electronic compositions speak to trance, techno and dance lovers alike. As the name suggests, the album is 70 minutes of trippy Techno Vibes.
