interview about my idea of being dj (by wdr 3 radio):
the idea of my dj work is – once again – communication, breaking down barriers between genres, genres, styles – and opening up new spaces. Music as a vehicle to create a place that makes us sensitive. The musical spectrum ranges from classical music to innovative electronic club pieces: an exciting mix of classical, soul and jazz to electronic club sound. Within this repertoire, I set priorities, which are constantly redefined by the given spatial and occasional coordinates:
from the gentle lounge to the pulsating dance beat. Club events, classical tunes – and if necessary – vocal contributions – dissolve in a new, open, communicative space, which means both intellectual challenge and sensual experience. Optional extensions of the dj set are instrumental and vocal live performances.

Grözinger relies on the immediacy of musical experience, on transfers that emerge from the programmatic context. He draws a bow between different genres, times, aesthetic ideas and philosophies. He is a specialist in extravagant mixtures. Grözinger wants to involve young audiences and overcome the stiffness and distance of the concert business.(R. Schlenz, Deutschlandfunk)
