About me

Marlin Janus is a psytrance DJ and chillout producer from Frankfurt, Germany. He is well known for his hard, fast and impulsive sound. Electronic music accompanies him since the age of 14 and he has been listening to and living various music styles from Techno to Trance, Hardcore, Drum&Bass up to Psytrance.

In 2001 he started his career as dj the.fRont playing Drum&Bass on various parties and radio shows in the local Drum&Bass scene in and around Frankfurt, including:

• Breakaholics (Butzbach)
• Beatpainters (Frankfurt)
• Beatiotix (Darmstadt)
• Liquid Lounge (Rüsselsheim)
• Sound Force (Mannheim)

• X-Fade, Radio-X (Frankfurt)
• Plugged Unfunk, Radio Rüsselsheim (Rüsselsheim)
• Plug ‘n’ Play, Radio Unerhört (Marburg)
• Neurotic Breaks, Bermuda Funk (Mannheim)

At the end of this time, Marlin slowly got in touch with Psytrance. Being a bit sceptic about the Psytrance scene at first he got really infected by it when visiting his first Goa-Party. In 2005 he finally switched completely to psytrance, as a listener and as a DJ. In that time he also registered to Second Life, a virtual world accessible through the internet where he played on virtual parties for a short time. This was in fact the place where he got his alias Marlin Janus which he is using ever since.

In the meantime Psytrance and its scene has become an essential way of life for him which he no longer want to miss.
