DJ Wag

DE
Producer of Dance
A.k.a. Uwe Wagenknecht

I started my DJ career in 1989 in a club called Lopos werkstatt in Darmstadt, where I was a resident DJ for four years. My predecessor DJ in that club was the producer of Culture beat (Mr vain) Torsten Fenslau. It was on his label (Abfahrt) I launched my first vinyl. In the Airport Club (Dorian Gray) in Frankfurt I got to know DJ Talla 2xlc and produced on his labels (Suck me Plasma & Tetsuo) until 1997. Once in a while I was booked by Talla 2xlc for the legendary Technoclub/Dorian Gray, at that time as famous as the Gatecrasher club in England today. I've been playing together with DJ's like Sven Väth, Taucher, DJ Dag, George Acosta, Talla 2xlc, Cosmic Gate, and many more By playing at the club Aladdins close to Aschaffenburg in 1997 I came in contact with the label Overdose. My first DJ Wag single "Man on the Moon", released 1998, was a burner - probably known to any trance and hardtrance producer on this planet, even today. More titles followed, like "Life on Mars", "The Darkness", "The big bang"... My second project (Yakooza) with Overdose is also very successful, with a mega club burner in many countries including the charts, titled "Cocaine".
