"I first met the artist Daniel Rajcsanyi at a queer party in Munich in 2011, and from that day on we've been inseparable. He was so spontaneous and bold—he asked me for a cigarette, then asked what I was doing after. So we didn't have a first date, I just took him home that night. At my apartment he saw all my records and the turntables in the centre of my room and we started jamming together."
"Now, Daniel uses his body as his medium—he has a unique way of pushing people outside their comfort zones, challenging them to see the world in new ways. He makes me question my thinking and keeps me evolving. Sometimes it feels as if we're writing each other's diary—we've become the other person's story."
"Born in Greece, raised in Stuttgart and now based in Vienna, Jorkes has become the energetic figurehead of the central European electronic music scene. Growing up as a queer person in a sleepy suburb, they found solace in Stuttgart's tight-knit, DIY nightlife and soon swapped a law degree for house music and the DJ booth."
Jorkes and Daniel Rajcsanyi met at a queer party in Munich in 2011 and have remained inseparable since. Jorkes, born in Greece and raised in Stuttgart, became a prominent figure in Central Europe's electronic music scene after abandoning law studies for house music and DJing. Daniel, a former snowboarder turned conceptual artist, uses his body as a medium to challenge people's perspectives. Their relationship intertwines their creative lives—Daniel asked Jorkes to create a soundtrack for his fashion graduate show, and they continue to inspire and question each other's thinking. In 2016, they founded Freeride Millenium, exploring joyful, unrestrained electronic music. Their partnership functions as mutual storytelling, with each becoming the other's narrative.
