Raphael Lackner alias Royal Ruv was born in Salzburg 1988. From the start he was interested to any kind of music. In 2002, listening wasn't enough anymore, so Ruv started to spin the turntables. At this moment the biggest influence for his style were Hip Hop, Scretch-Technics and Turntablism. But soon his musical horizon was enlarged and he started playing with other genres like House and Drum and Bass with groovy techno in-between.
In search of the perfect combination of impulsive electronic sounds, rolling bass lines, funky rhythms and strong beats he discovered Minimal Techno.
Right away, it was clear for him, that this is the sound he was searching for. It's not an invasive music, but there is so much alternation, groove and Rhythm, so exactly to be Royal's thing.
In 2009 he started producing Minimal and Minimal Techno and soon he got to known Aron De Lima, one of the leaders of Minimalbewegung.
So the whole thing started rolling and the hobby turned into passion....
Now Ruv is playing in a lot different clubs in Austria and supports acts on stage like, Felix Kröcher, Kaiserdisco, Robin Hirte and Ahmet Sendil.
With his powerful, fine selected and specific mixed sets of Minimal, Techno and Tech-House, he generates a strong and harmonic connection to the audience who is feeling the energy loaded Activity of the DJ on Stage.
Currently Royal Ruv is working on a lot of productions they are hopefully let the crowd goes crazy.
