Maki Polne

Born and raised in Poznan, Poland. The close neighborhood of Berlin had a strong influence on his music education and helped to develop the one passion that continues to guide Maki through his life - the love for quality sound. But it's in his hometown where besides running radio shows, organizing his first events and beginning to DJ and collect music, he graduated the highly acclaimed studies in acoustics - Audio Engineering at the Adam Mickiewicz University. Studying in Winter, during Summer time the love to party would bring him to Ibiza where he experienced first hand the rise of contemporary minimal style. A pair of own technics and a first record bag followed. His devotion to music and sound wouldn't go unattended, soon after he was playing for Zoo Project, Privilage and many bars, boat and after parties around the island. The longtime passion for electronic music led Maki to settle down in Berlin. For some years he organized a successful monthly "MySundays" event series at now dysfunct KaterHolzig. More recently he got the chance to throw some parties at infamous Club der Visionaere and these days Maki is clubs regular. He can be found there, hosting numerous nights or by one of many surprise after party appearances. Having played in both, major clubs and more intimate venues, Maki has developed a unique style. Difficult to encapsulate in one genre, his focus is to create a moment and a story, following the mood of the party rather than classifications. When not in the club, Maki spends most of his time in the studio and is currently breaking through as a highly crafted producer. With releases on labels like VinylClub, Melisma and Amaniel, expect lots more to come soon!
