Dominik Johannes Richter has a vision: To bring people and instruments back into the club stages of this world. To touch people with his music. To make them dance. To put them into ecstasy.
As a versatile musician with extensive classical training, Dominik comes from a musical family. He learned drums, didgeridoo and trumpet at an early age and took lessons in percussion, bagpipes, Jew’s harp, double bass, accordion and piano. Through percussion he learned about medieval music and an instrument that would accompany him throughout his career – the zinc.
Following his passion for music, Dominik studied music and movement pedagogy in Vienna and then dedicated himself to studying early music, first in Trossingen and then at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis in Basel.
Already in his youth he discovered electronic music alongside the ubiquitous classical music. And although he remained fascinated by their rhythms and club culture in general, he dreamed of using instruments to breathe real emotions into the lifelessness he felt there.
Through instruments, Dominik brings the catchy rhythms and stylistics of electronic dance music to life. He wants to offer a sound field that makes us feel the music on a deeper level and put us in the real ecstasy and trance states that we so long for in the club.
Dominiks heartfelt desire is to bring joy into people’s lives through his music, be it in the club or with an improvised setup anywhere in the world. His aim is to perform with like-minded people and to let the audience experience something extraordinary in the process.
