For Dirk Leyers, music has always been instinctive and informative. Getting his hands on instruments at an early age opened a pathway to the innate form of communication that music represents for him.
A move to Cologne in the 90s led to a meeting with Matias Aguayo, together with whom he formed the groundbreaking unit Closer Musik. When that chapter closed, Dirk established his solo project in Berlin and released his “Wellen” EP on Kompakt and the 12" ALMA on Klang Elektronik.
In addition to his solo work, he has pursued collaborations and delivered remixes for artists such as Aschka, Andre Kraml, Alter Ego, Angie Reed, Khan, Justus Köhncke, Eric D Clark, Hiem feat. Roots Manuva, Whirlpool Productions, and many more. His releases appear on the finest imprints like FIRM, I m Single, Klang Elektronik, Kompakt, V-Records to mention just a few.
These days he works closely together with Nerk, one half of Toktok, both in the studio and as a live act. There latest 12" Chicken Wings Inc came out in January 2010 on Klang Elektronik (Klang 139).
