‘Practice makes perfect’ is a statement that holds true especially in the case of the Hip Hop genre, either on the mic or the mixer. Andreas Strobel’s practice with two turntables and a cross-fader made him at last succeed in winning a prestigious mix-contest at radio station Antenne Bayern in 2003. This was a huge step in the career of the young DJ, for he won a support slot on the tour of the two famous jurors, Tom Novy and DJ Friction. ‘Technique’ was already his pseudonym in the early days that he did credit to. He and Ulrich Hilbel started to perform together under the name ‘CRUSHBOYS’ in 2011.
