Dr Hoffmann was born in Hungary on Friday 13th June 1980. He has been in the electronic scene since the  early 90s, first as a visitor and after that as an organisator. 

He was looking for something, something different, something extraordinary, something dirty, dark and hard, when the techno music found him in 1998!  

"I saw a black cd with white text in the Underground Records in Budapest, I thought that it could be something special. It was The Audio Complilation 01 mixed by Chris Liebing. This cd changed my life. I have never listened so energetic, dinamic and powerfull mix like this"   

He does not like rules and ordinary things in the music. 

• 1999 Frost Galaghan and He made the first techno company in East Hungary.

It called Detroit MGM. They made Techno parties at small underground venues for

200 people. 

• 2001 He has created the Tripticon Production & Design. 

This company organised 3 succesfully party series until 2005:

1. -Synthetic Technology Music Festival (Techno, Progressive House and Drum&Bass, Chill Out)
2. -Sounds of Detroit - His own night 
3. -Spectrum - Pure techno with top Hungarian djs

He was resident dj for these parties. Also he has played at almost every big party and underground techno venue in Middle and East Hungary.

He has played with World-famous DJ's such as Electric Indigo (International dj, Gigolos-Female pressure),Inigo Kennedy (Assymetric), Felipe(Titanium), Delano, Elex Red etc. He has spinned the hardest and the clearest techno

plates such as Chris Liebing, Speedy J, Surgeon, James Ruskin, Oliver Ho, Rush...

• 2005 He left Hungary and moved to the UK....
• 2007 Dr_Hoffmann has been reloaded…

The wind of the change caught up with him in 2008. First of all his music style has changed as he followed the music industry s new waves. He has calmed down and now "I am playing only pure electronic dance music but I will always be ready for crushing the brains." He has used samplers and effect machines in his sets, also he has played never released songs and remixes. With it he can keep his own style. " I can't define my style, It's genuine Dr Hoffmann style - Sexy Techno and Tech and Roll " 

Then Dr Hoffmann, has adopted a new set up for his live performances ba sed around Allen & Heath’s new Xone:1D MIDI controller.The Xone:1D is a dedicated MIDI controller connected and powered by USB, which can be used to control DJ software such as Ableton Live and Traktor3.So with it his set up consists of a laptop, a mixer and 2 Xone:1D’s hands-on MIDI control for Traktor and Ableton software instead of vinyls.

“I was a vinyl junkie, until April 2008. Then I saw my idol, Speedy J at Hyperspace - Budapest. I had lots of sleepless night to find out what he uses, when I found this set up. Mine is not as huge as Chris Liebing or Speedy Js but, Its good enough to start explore into the digital dj world. I really enjoy it, It has really taken my performance to the next level”
