*1975
A.k.a. Donald Winkler
Born in vienna on 22.02.1975, he started working as a DJ in vienna at the age of 18. In 1996 he got an 7 years lasting engagement as a resident at the "Heaven Gay Night" in Vienna's U4 night-club. Between 1996 and 2003 he was playing in almost every club or party-location that was influenced by the gay-scene. In Vienna and also in other cities in Austria. Inspired by the nightlife of Berlin, where he was travelling frequently since 1999, he started his own monthly club-night called "Release", kicking off with the record release party for Khan's Ride Me on 8th of January 2003. In May 2003 Divinyl formed together with Seven (8) the Group DFS (Divinyl Featuring Seven), mainly doing electro-techno cover-versions of song from all kinds of artists. A recording of $100 from their first performance, reached the ears of Captain Comatose who decided to release the cover-version on their remix album . Looking for new goals Donald moved to Berlin in 2004 and changed his DJ name to Mark Hardbone.
