DJ and producer NDKj aka: Andrea Quirico was born in 1981 in Novara (Italy).

He became fascinated with electronic music – especially techno – at a young age and soon started djing himself. His first DJ appearance was in 1998 when he played in some smaller clubs and private parties in Northern Italy. At that time his sound was inspired by some of the big names in the techno scene who were known for playing hard but groovy techno. But “only” djing wasn’t enough and so NDKj followed his own ideas of techno and started producing and experimenting with new sounds.

In 2004 he met fellow Italian DJ Mauro Alpha and they decided to work together – and they still do today. NDKj’s first production “Dark Ages” was released in February 2006 on Holzplatten [HOLZ082] together with Drumcomplex and Chris Binder. Only three months later his first collaboration with Mauro Alpha was out on Boxer Sport label. “Pallette” [Boxer039].

In summer 2006 he also got to know Oliver Lieb and became an artist of his label Maschine. NDKj first EP called “Put it where you want” ”[MAS10] was just released by end of November. At the same time NDKj, Mauro Alpha and the Italian DJ & producer Andrea Paganin founded “The Dust Soldiers” – first release was to be expected in stores on October 2007,a particular lucky month for the artist,that debuts into Polar Noise (record label by Luca Morris and Paul C) with the single “Scale” which has huge support by artists like Karotte,Dominik Eulberg,Monika Kruse,John Aquaviva, Kanzyani, Markantonio and many others.

In 2007 NDKJ and his friend Marcello Concialdi founded Heatflow Records,the sub-label of Fahrenheit Music.

In 2009 he releases “Dishes Ep” into his label Heatflow records and it becomes a smashing hit!

“Main Course” was top 10 on the Beatport charts for Tech-House, this track was charted by Steve Angello and Markantonio!!
