Toby Querox HandMade Music

Querox’s trademark offbeat tracks and creative bass grooves are skilfully pieced together with crystal clear sound combinations, dirty forceful baselines and emotional Melody parts.

His career as international DJ began in 2008.
Only a year later he launched his career as producer and founder of the international record label Prog On Syndicate Rec.

From 2010 to 2010 on he released about 4 Ep´s – “Sex, Drugs, Progressive 2010”, “The Life & Me 2011”, “Querox - The Remixes 2011” &” A Querox Remixes Compilation 2012” and many Single Tracks on Various Compilations.

Querox’s first full-length Debut album was released in July 2012.

Querox´s begin the Side project well known as "Zane" in collaboration with Monod from Greece.

Currently, he also works on collaborations with artists like Jiser, Phaxe, Zyce and more.

Querox’s Second Album will be released in 2013.

His connection to Phangan began when he in 2012 met Jao ( organizer of Half Moon Festival ) at the Burning Mountain Festival in Switzerland.

"We got in a very intensive friendship and he invited me to see his place. Jao fixed everything for me!" Toby reveals.

That´s how Toby arrived to koh Phangan.

He has already played with both of his live projects (Querox & Zane) at 2.2.2013 @ Half Moon Festival and will also be Live TONIGHT at The 11th Anniversary Halfmoon - In Love

Which music did you bring in your record bag for Phangan?
"I produce, write and compose my own Music, everything is self and handmade!

But for sure I brought some cd´s of my favourite Artists like Phaxe, Monod, and some more."

What do feel you bring to the scene, as a musician and as a producer?
"All my Tracks are part of myself.

Instead of talking words I will write Music. Its my passion..
Each track has its own origins and background.

I play music to get connected to the people  2ndwise it became my mainjob and now I am so lucky that I can live from this!

It is a kind of language to communicate but also to share feelings.
This is my contribution to humanity."

5 years ago he moved to Berlin and found his spot. This is when it all began to change!

3-4 years ago Toby was seen around Berlin Ost Kreuz in Friedrichshain in his super sweet half punked up cozy squad domaine.
His first Tracks were on the release list and he was full of ideas for his soon to be record label.
This was the times where it all began!

Looking back and seeing the Now, what is the best thing you have ever been involved with or done?
"The Life" is his simple but accurate answer to that!

Inspiration he finds in the small intricacies of Life. From everything which happens around him. For Toby it is all about Emotion.

He is still living in Berlin and have been ever since he moved there the first time 5 years ago.

What about Phangan? Do you find Koh Phangan to a good place for you? Where is your favourite place here?
"I can´t seperate the Places in this Island because everything is beautiful!

I Love The Vibe here and the native inhabitants are so amazing.

What are your next projects?
"I Have a lot of plans.

I am organizing many events like „Psychedelic Olympics Berlin, Progressive District Berlin. 
From 12 – 14 July 2013 we celebrate the „Lav Festival“ in Germany with one of my best Friends „Dj Ismir“ , which is one of my biggest projects in this year.
Lav = Love“ and it based on P.L.U.R (peace, Love, Unity & Respect)"

Toby is running the Label Prog On Syndicate since 2009 and is already very very happy with the resultat he got so far.

The Label is spreading and it makes him super happy to be the founder of this Label.
It is a Special Group of Artist who has been connected to him and has been helping him to build the Label with him.

The next 2 years will be even more crazy!
Many things are planed and many new and amazing musicians are bringing fresh Progressive Trance to the scene.

For Toby 10 years is far far far away but he surely see himself somewhere in the world still playing music!

That would make him Die happy and who wouldnt dream of dying Happy?

That is not a Dream he wish to fulfil right now though! 
If you gave him a magic wand and a tutu - he would make sure the world would never suffer from anything else - but Peace!

Everything makes him laugh! Which is such a good quality!
He is really smiling always and as he says: "I dont have a reason not to! Laughter is healthy"

Very sweet this one and according to his friends we can get to hear his laughter if we close our eyes and listen to this:

His Mother is waiting for him to buy her a ticket for Phangan and meanwhile Toby is just chilling in Bay Lounge! She will have to wait a bit more..

His Life philosophy is smelling of his Punk days but is still relevant for all he does in life: Loyalty, Respect & Looooove.

This his very beautiful girlfriend is enjoying a lot! Good on you Sweety!!
