DJ Stingray 313 – donning his emblematic balaclava, his heavy, relentless, almost cyborg-like DJ sets continue to leave audiences captivated globally for decades. This skilled approach to the dancefloor gives Stingray quite the in-demand gig schedule, appearing at landmark festivals and venues like Tresor Berlin, Glastonbury (UK), Dekmantel (Amsterdam), Movement Festival (Detroit), Making Time (USA), Sonar Festival (Barcelona), Berghain Berlin, Dimensions Festival (Croatia), and Berlin Atonal.

Stingray’s most notable connection, however, is through the iconic electro outfit of James Stinson and Gerald Donald aka Drexciya. As Mystic Tribe A.I, he first appears on the Clone Records release “Sunday Night Live at the Laptop Cafe”, a split 12” with Stinson (aka The Other People Place). Further meetings with Stinson and Donald earned him the nickname “Drexciyan DJ Stingray”, becoming the group’s official touring DJ.
