Born in Poland Codex had started `just like his Hungarian
dad` playing drums by the age of 7, and then at the age of 9 moved with
his family to Budapest. Still playin drums by 12 and finally with 14 settling
in Essen Germany where he is based today. After hearing some Public Enemy records Codex developed a deep interest in producing beats with drum computers, with 16 he bought a Yamaha RY30 and tried out some HipHop beats but a year later it was Chicago House and Detroit Techno sound that he followed with DJ Sneak and Jeff Mills being the main influences. Around this time he met his longtime production partner Mike Bass and together they filled a room with anologue equipment with the centre piece being the TR 909 and EMU 64 sampler. Within a 1/2 year they released two records on German label "Honolulu United". At the same time Kingslay "a good mate from London" brought over some DJ Hype and LSD mixtapes, this opened a whole new dimension. It took 3 years of partying the length and breath of Europe before Codex decided which direction he wanted to go musically. it became very clear it was going to be Drum n Bass "production and spinning tunes"..(but never losing massive respect for the 909 heavyweights). Four years later Codex Recordings was born with first releases from Codex and Mike Bass (Deep Inc.) and immediatley recieved support from Fabio and Radio 1, this was the seal of approval to keep it going. The next releases have found support from big guns such as Fabio, Calibre, Soul:R crew, DJ Flight, LTJ Bukem, DJ Marky and The Insiders. The plan for the future is to keep making wicked tunes and to be happy......
