DJ set episode #165 -- Robert Dietz

Frankfurt-based DJ and producer Robert Dietz - always knew one thing:
"I didn't want to follow the rules, or fit into the system."

Instead of toeing the line, Dietz, now 28, grew up craving rebel music. His fascination with sound began with banging together his mother's pots and pans till she caved and bought him a real drum kit. Soon he was studying piano and guitar, and listening to everything from synth-pop to hardcore hip hop. By age 17 he'd developed a serious vinyl habit, mixing on friends' decks until he scraped together the funds to buy his own.
