Badlokk

Bio:

Born and raised in the charming little German village Odenthal, but nowadays residing in the
bustling close by metropolis Cologne, Badlokk aka Rene Weidanz has been an integral part of
the local scene since at least 2008. During his mechanical and audio engineering studies at
the SAE Institute in Cologne, his love for all things dark, heavy, cinematic and energetic
blossomed into an outright obsession - for Neurofunk. Equipped with a perfectionism that
sets him apart from the competition, his unrelenting DJ sets soon conquered one dancefloor
after the other, quickly making him one of the most infamous DJs that Germany has to offer.
When he isn’t sharing the stage with the scene’s biggest names, he is busy running his award
winning imprint Hanzom Music, founded back in 2018.
After unleashing his debut track „Hurricane“, featuring legendary MC Coppa, in November
2023 to massive acclaim across the whole scene, he kept up the momentum with „Shimmer“,
a collaborative venture with Dutch veteran Sinister Souls, and remarkable remixes for TR
Tactics' Hanzom classic „Obsession“ and the seminal Neurofunk anthem that is Prdk's „Ragga
Dagga“. However, his biggest achievement as of yet, the both biggest and most emotional
tune in his still short yet already incredibly exciting career as a producer, has to be „Buried
Alive“, released on NCS in January of 2025. Featuring multi-dimensional British vocalist
REEBZ, hot off her stunning contribution to Let It Roll's 2024 opening show, perfectly
conveying the pain and resilience of the lyrics with one of her most heartfelt and rage-filled
vocal performances yet, this Metal-infused single has been leaving crowds in awe for years
now, from the immense reactions during the tune's year-long life as a dub, to the instant
classic status it has achieved since its release.
