Driven by the desire to create his own music, he has accepted the challenge of creating his own sounds. Type 1 attained a degree in music production in 2008 and started his own production trail. This has subsequently led him to releasing and remixing on multiple labels and further on,starting his own label :‘Malfunktion Records’.
His tech house productions and DJ sets are always full of energy, just like his personality.
It is the support of Type 1's productions that speaks for itself with A-listers such as Richie Hawtin, Luciano, Chris Leibing, Dubfire, Laurent Garnier, Mark Knight, Marco Carola, Jon Rundell to name a few.
