With more than 15 years of Djing and producing M.Sommer aka Amtrak is anything else than a newbie to the Austrian music scene. Coming from the turntablism scene he took his abilities to the club and ever since is musically and technically always evolving. There is no real drawer to put his music in. Is it techno? Is it dubstep? Is it Hiphop? Is it electro? None of the above. But what´s important in his tracks and his sets is the energy. Playing in cities like Berlin, Collogne, Paris, Tokyo and Vienna also left a mark on him and puts a big diversity in his output.
