PROTECTOR @ GLOGÓW / POLAND

I was born on 28th May 1978 in Poland. My adventure with music started in the earliest years of my life when I was listening to my father’s records on an old Polish deck… DIORA, I think… There were early 80’s and I listened to stuff like PET SHOP BOYS, MADONNA, EUROPE - everything what was at THE TOP.
When I was 8, my parents noticed my passion towards music and they decided to send me for piano lessons… I continued to learn it for nearly 9 years while my music experiences were growing, but someday I wanted something even more from music…
I met my friend DJ Pablo who used to draw me out to parties. His older brother was the best DJ in our city at that time, so we were watching him and learning… There were early 90’s…
So the first parties in my life took place when I was in elementary school, then I stood behind the decks for the first time… I already then knew what I wanted to do… PLAYIN’ MUSIC FOR PEOPLE!!! This feeling was awesome and I will never forget it…
At the beginning they weren’t serious gigs, but in high school they became more and more serious, with a bigger meaning… Since the first grade at high school I was responsible for the school’s radio and all entertainment stuff…
At that time I met my present friend Tomasz Marczak, a.k.a. DJ Buli, who taught me how to use a microphone in the right way and how to speak to the crowd to make them happier when dancing… Now Tomek is the best dance DJ I’ve ever known, although personally he’s the biggest fan of Chris Liebing.
After the second grade (17) I started real work as a DJ earning first money for that job. It was near Czestochowa, in the Randez-Vous Club for over 1000 people. That was an amazing time in Poland because everything in music was taking a good direction. In short: in early 90’s we played mostly dance music like: MAXX – Get a Way (1993), PANDORA – Trust Me(1993), DR ALBAN – It’s My Life(1992) and more of his stuff, HADDAWAY – What Is Love(1992) and others too, C&C MUSIC FACTORY – Gonna Make U Sweat(1990), ADAMSKI – Killer(1990), 2 UNLIMITED – Get Ready For This(1991), TWENTY 4 SEVEN – Slave 2 The Music (1993), 2 BROTHERS ON THE 4th FLOOR – Never Alone(1993) Dreams(1994), but also harder stuff, much different than actual techno trance music though, for example: U96 – Das Boot (1991), SCOOTER – Hyper Hyper(1994) till 96…
Then I reached for a few tracks which rocked the Club in a harder way, more similar to these days: DJ DISCO – Dirty Disco Dubs(1997) Stamp Your Feet (1998), DJ QUICKSILVER – Belissima(1996), Free(1997), Planet Love(1997), DR MOTTE & WESTBAM – Sunshine(1997), DA HOOL – Meet Her At The Loveparade(1996), Bora Bora(1997), Hypochonda(1998), SASH! Feat DODRIGUEZ – Ecuador(1997), THREE’n’ONE – Sin City(1997), SCOOTER – Fire(1997), DISCO NATION – Rock Da Jam(1997), PORN KINGS – Amour(1997), SEQUENTIAL ONE – Dreams(1997), but I’ll never forget DARIO G – Sunchyme(1997) - something new, fresh and so much different from everything at that time… That was the first vinyl I bought ;)
So RANDEZ-VOUS Club was the first one; I played there in years 97-98. I moved then to another one – NANU CLUB located near the city called Opole. The biggest hits of this club and time: WESTBAM – Hardtimes, NOVY & ENIAC – Superstar, DJ SAMMY – Prince Of Love, MEMBERS of MAYDAY – Sonic Empire, DJ TONKA – She Knows You, ABSOLOM – Secret, Dr MOTTE & WESTBAM – Love Parade 1998.
I stayed in NANU till Oct ’98. The next one was the KISS CLUB in Olesno. I’ve got my first student DJ there - that was Adam Mitrenga a.k.a. DJ MITER now. The biggest stuff of that time: MEMBERS OF MAYDAY – Save The Robots, PAFFENDORF – Smile, MUSIC INSTRUCTOR – Supersonic [brainbug rmx], Get Freaky, ATB – 9.P.M, MISS JANE – It’s a Fine Day [atb rmx], CAMISRA – Let Me Show u Something Special, DIAL M FOR MOGUAI – Beatbox, PvD – For An Angel, Westbam – Agharta.
Eventually, I didn’t play even a year there, cause I got an offer to work in the biggest clubs network in the country - PROTECTOR - which I accepted with pleasure. Then I started a new adventure in PROTECTOR CLUB located near Wielun. I played there from ’99 till ’02. I’ll never forget the first gig in this club. I had a dilemma on what to play; it was a brand new club in a brand new place. Every rival club was a dance club, not techno, house or trance… I was a DJ who preferred a much different style of music than other local DJS and I didn’t want to became fully an only dance DJ. So at the first gig I decided that I would play for people a little bit different than they were used to. The Very First Powerplay of this very first night was a brand new single of Binary Finary – 1999 [kay cee rmx] and that was a splendid decision.
People loved the club from the first night when they heard these awesome tunes. During those few years I spent in this wonderful place I played a lot of great tracks that have become music symbols now, like: BARTHEZZ – On The Move, SAFRI DUO – Played Alive, CJ STONE – Infinity, SM-TRAX – Got The Groove, Is Calling, BAD HABIT BOYS – Weekend, Rock Ya, MR PHILIPS – 7th Day, MARC ET CLAUDE – Tremble, BLANK & JONES – After Love, Cream, Beyond Time, The Nightfly, Nightclubbing, Desire, DANCE NATION – Sunshine, ATB – Don’t Stop, Killer, The Summer, Hold You, Let U Go, You’re Not Alone, HARDY HARD – Here Comes That Sound, Partyhardy, VOODOO & SERANO – Blood is Pumpin, Sllide To The Vibe, When I Rock, BOMFUNK MC’S – Freestyler, RANK 1 – Airwave, Such Is Life, Awakening, CYGNUS X – Superstring, SWENSON & GIELEN – Twisted, and many many many more which I won’t mention… (the list is too long).
After the PROTECTOR near Wielun time came for the PROTECTOR CLUB in Glogow. This is my present CLUB and it’s the biggest in my whole career.

I’ve been playing there for 5 years now and it still feels great to play every weekend for such amazing people who come for a club night. I have met a lot of brilliant DJS from all over the globe who played in the club. If you are interested in more details of my club you can visit the gallery which I prepared especially to bring a closer look at the place I love to work in.

So that are the most important things about me being a DJ. A few years ago I also became a DJ TEACHER with my friend Waldemar Kaczmarek a.k.a. dj INOX in PIONEER DJ SCHOOL where I’ve met many wonderful young djs who I’ve tried to help with their skills of DJ’ing. That was another great adventure for me. I also met there my present friend Konrad Serowiecki who pulled me into an amazing area – producing… and my student became my teacher. Till that moment I had been convinced that DJ’ing is a space of unlimited musical possibilities – I WAS WRONG! When I got my PC connected to my JP8000 and run CUBASE SX3, and played a few first tones I realized that I had been wrong for so many years… because the unlimited area for everything I’m able to imagine with music is PRODUCING.
At the end of ’06 I met two young people Dawid Str..zycki a.k.a. jorgen Dave and Piotr Augustyniak a.k.a. Peer Gasto. They are young polish FL producers whose music I liked so much that I decided to establish a music relationship with them - that way A State of Mind arose.
With our different experiences we are an absolute match in the studio … They love FL and I love CUBASE, so that’s the best combination to make something special in music, I think… After our first meeting THE FLY AWAY was produced and now it has really been rocking polish clubs for the last few months. I hope you like it too if you’re listening to it right now… The idea for the first common track was to make something commercial for the wide audience with a little bit of our ambitions as musicians, because everyone of us has musical education… Our next tracks are more ambitious than THE FLY AWAY - they’re ONE STEP BEYOND, SYNTHETICA and SENSUALITY. The main intention of our music is to make people happy and to take the listeners into a higher state of mind, which lets feel passion and elation… So this is my new passion and another music adventure in my life. I’m still learning how to produce stuff day by day or rather night by night. Producing makes me be an even better DJ than I was before. Now, when I listen to music I pick up everything in it, can say that thanks to mu new passion I can hear more in it… So that’s all in this part of my life – as THE DJ.

That’ll be all folks, hope you weren’t bored reading the story of my life. Thanks you all for the support that you’ve given me for so many years and I hope I won’t disappoint you in the future with my MUSIC. See you on the dance floor.

All the best @LeX”
