Toxic Twin aka Sven Brede, Berlin born and raised, is taking part in nightlife and clubculture as a professional DJ ever since '93. His regular appearances in Berlin have somewhat become classic for many. However, his activities are not limited to spinning in every club of the city – he actually spends most of his time producing for several well-known labels. From '96 to '01 he used to work for a Berlin-based music agency, leading artisit such as DJ I.C.O.N. on their road to success. When leaving the agency, he met Tom Clark, which lead to several infamous productions for Clark's label Highgrade, while still releasing track on track on numerous other labels. Critically especially acclaimed was 2002's project TELEMEN, including his brother Lars Brede aka Stashrider, singer Danyell and lyrical Meta Mallorca, featuring a LP release and four singles on Multicolor.

Very open to every kind of club-music he is into programming high-class house and techno grooves that easily meet any kind of standard. Sven's style both as DJ and producer is often considered old- and new-school at the same time, blending both traditional and progressive elements of electronic music. The 'poison twin' is virtously playing his cards between attack and retreat, between kick and cool, soaking up music and looking for inspiration from scandinavia to africa. His openmindedness, longtime experience and consistent output make ToxicTwin both a classic and a surprise everytime around!
