Based in the german City of Cologne (Köln) DJ Proton is spinning records since 1995. His style is best described as thrilling, pumping, banging hard Techno, but once you're on the dancefloor music speaks louder than words.

During Protons early years of Techno Jeff Mills was dominating the DJ and Producer polls, so after checking some playlists Detroit soon became a strong influence on the way Proton interpreted Techno and he started to travel around Germany to see DJs like Claude Young, Jay Denham, Juan Atkins, Derrick May or Jeff Mills himself on the rare occasions they played.

Detroit had more to offer. Not only the sound, but also the thoughts and concepts of Mike Banks from Underground Resistance, dealing with topics as independence from Major-Labels and criticism of goverment indoctrination impressed Ex-Punker Proton sustainable and encouraged him to become a DJ himself.

During the time the influences grew:
Dj Rush, Dave Clarke, Dj Kammy, Ben Sims, Chris Liberator, Miss Djax, ViperXXL, PET Duo, Sandy Warez, Boris S, Robert Natus, Manu Kenton, Jamie Bissmire - just to name a few.

On his way Proton played a lot at underground-partys in abandoned houses, barns and factorys and also the Clubs of his hometown Cologne, Germany (Artheater, Bogen2, Sensor Club, Gloria, Gebäude 9, Kunstwerk) as well as in 2009 and 2010 at the mighty Butan Club in Wuppertal (Hart aber Herzlich).

2008 he already had a gig and lots of fun at Tundra, the biggest baltic electronic music festival, where his curiosity for crowds in foreign countrys awoke. Gigs in Rome (Colocon Circus, EKOrulez), Barcelona (Guerilla Basement), London (Hard Party Production), Vilnius (Blitzkrieg IV), Helsinki (Assembly), Krakow (Forty Kleparz) and Varna (Darkness Falls) followed and there are more to come.

Since the end of 2009 he is resident at the Dortmund based party La Dura, and regularly drives the Richter magnitude scale in the german Ruhr-area into the red.
