Bio
Nicola Candelaria
DJ / Brain of RadioElectronica Nicola Candelaria was born in 1979, at a time when New York's garage and disco sound was at its peak. It is probably also because he is so rooted in this sound. Nicola first came into contact with electronic music through the track "life is for living" by Barclay James Harvest and the albums by Jean-Michel Jarre. But it wasn't until the mid-90s that the spark ignited his extraordinary DJ career. He got hold of DJ Sneak's "Moon Doggy EP" and it was all over for him. From then on, he immersed himself more and more in house music and its origins and learned the DJ craft. Not least because of his numerous visits to hip hop parties, his DJing style is very much influenced by hip hop DJs. Since 1999, Nicola Candelaria has been the host of his own radio show called "Radio Electronica". There he romps around with numerous national and international studio guests in all sound areas of electronic music. In the course of his career, he has repeatedly been able to assert himself as a successful event and tour organiser.

Martin aka Reiner von Vielen
He had already recorded all DJ sets on the radio in the mid-nineties. At that time he supplied his classmates with a double cassette deck and developed his first feeling for digging music. In 2001, he came into contact with OKJ Jena for the first time. A first love for radio developed, which was to last for another two years. After that, he started leaving half of his fortune in record shops and quickly reached thousands of records. In 2007, all the hustle and bustle had become too much for him and he disappeared from the Jena scene again for the time being. In 2011, he made his glorious comeback as a radio presenter and the Herzklopfen Radio programme in OKJ was born. Every 4th Friday of the month, the crème de la crème of the Jena house and techno scene came to his studio. In January 2016, the station was restructured and he was brought into the @radioelectronicajena team by Nicola Candelaria. Today he is mainly responsible for booking, new introductions and the internationalisation of the Radio Electronica brand. Since the beginning of 2021 he is A&R from the Label Blur Records.
