A Legend Since Day One To sum up sum such a rich career as DJ ACEʼs is a not an easy task. You want a little story illustrating the fervor that animates the out-this-world DJ? Well, in 1996, during a concert performed by Run DMC, ACE jumped on stage and electrified an audience that was soon to be hooked on the extraordinary talent of the ACE. This is how ACEʼs magic works. This citizen of Basel (Switzerland) with a very strong personality knows what he wants and never bothered following the trends! His career relies on these three foundations: know-how, will-power and self confidence. “When you stop you take a step back”, he says. His passion for music always drags him into new projects. A business oriented DMC Champion In 1986, he first started spinning under the name of DJ ACE. Five years later, he finished 3rd runner-up at the DMC Championship. And this is thanks to his reliable equipment and not money, glory or women! Not only was he a talented spinner behind the turntables, but also very quickly did he develop a witty sense for business. At that time in Switzerland hip-hop is only at a very early stage. And to overcome it, ACE founded the Kings Organization. He then decided to open his own store: ACE Records. There you could find everything this hip hop aficionado cared for. And once again success was knocking on his door. Running his business did not prevent him from winning three times in a row the DMC Championship between 1996 and 1998.
