Googana is a Hungarian-born DJ and producer with a fascination for hypnotic, driving and melodic techno. His 13-year DJ career has seen him playing numerous venues in Hungary, Austria, Spain, Germany and the UK.
Ever since Krisztian aka. Googana turned 13, music has been the most important thing in his life. From the age of 14-16 this love of music manifested him into playing guitar in a nu-metal and punk band.
It was only after a few years later that he was to become more enchanted with electronic music. He has been DJing since 2004 and started to play at parties in the same year. Up until 2009 he was mostly into psytrance music, but also enjoyed playing dub,minimal, progressive,house and techno.
In Hungary he played mostly in the Pecs and Szekszard areas in nearly all well-known clubs, bars and smaller festivals. He also had a weekly radio show on Periszkop Radio. Once he had the opportunity to play in Budapest at the well-known Kashmir Club.
In 2008 he moved to Leeds and later on to London, where he finally discovered, and got into the house and techno sounds he was looking for. So his main psytrance interest transformed into a brighter spectrum of dub-techno, deep-house, tech-house, prog-house, prog-techno, but most close to his heart is TECHNO. 2011 -2015 he was a resident DJ on Modulate FM (modulatefm.com/) where he invited up and coming and already well-known artists (e.g: Cortechs, Hefty, Darmec, Komut, Nahal, GabeeN, NHB, Genetic Noise, Axel L., SpecDub and Jacob DannyL...) to play.
He also played in some smaller and larger clubs/bars in London (Ministry of Sound, Club Aquarium, The Fence, Raving Buddha, Ember, Tart Bar...) as well as having had a few opportunities to play in Spain (Aftersun Festival, Bar El Dorado) and did some guest podcasts too for the German BassAudienz crew, The StoryTeller Radio, Kaffeeklatsch Podcast, DI.FM, for the Hungarian Art: Style Techno, Spirit Circle and Mozaik crew...
