After fleeing East Germany, Haidehude grew up in the Black Forest and made his first contact with the techno scene in the mid-90s. Influenced at that time by the HR3 Clubnight and regular visits to the Omen (FFM).

Around the 2000s, Haidehude founded TonZoo Berlin with friends and joined the Electronic Beatz Network in 2006.

His style moves between deep & techhouse, minimal but always a bit groovy.
