Kostas Triandafilidis aka DJ Polique

DJ Polique (bourgeois Kostas Triandafilidis , Greek Κώστας Τριανταφυλλίδης ; born December 28, 1975 in Frechen ) is a German DJ and hip-hop musician of Polish - Greek descent. He is also known by the pseudonym Mr. Bounce That Twerk That .

Private

As a child, Triandafilidis lived with his parents first in Zirndorf, later in Fürth . He also went to school in Fürth. With the aim of completing an apprenticeship as an industrial clerk, he completed a business diploma at the university of applied sciences. However, prior to the formation had Triandafilidis only his community service serve in the Johanniter accident assistance .

Career

He got his current stage name in the 1980s . Triandafilidis is of Polish-Greek descent, so that in English "polish" and "greek" were combined into a new word by his friends: Polique.

During his time as a community service provider, music for Triandafilidis became more and more important. In spring 1996 he started as a broadcast assistant at the radio station N1 in Nuremberg . A year later he got his own program from the broadcaster, called “N1 Playaz Nite” , and according to surveys, the response from listeners in Franconia and the surrounding area was very good. In the weekly broadcast Triandafilidis brought the latest news, songs and events from American and German hip hop to his listeners.

He had his first bookings as a DJ in what was then the Nuremberg club "XL", although he quickly made a name for himself as an organizer and resident in the "Planet Dance" disco.

Triandafilidis ran a record store called "Hot Spot Record Store" the store covered the black music scene with its portfolio. The record store was also the location for the biweekly television program "Holla" on Franconian television , which Triandafilidis moderates and prepares. However, Triandafilidis had to sell the record store in early 2004, as his musical career and time management no longer allowed running the business.

At the beginning of 2004 he became the DJ of rapper Raptile and, with whom he had various television and radio appearances and thus also became a member of the Cryptotech Squad . Together with rapper Raptile and rapper Lionezz , he also became a DJ and producer on a project called Follow Your Instinct . Several songs from Follow Your Instinct have achieved good chart positions in the German and American charts.

With the song "The Worst Way" Triandafilidis made it into the German Black Charts at number 1 in autumn 2014. In 2015, he surpassed this with the song "Don´t wanna go home" , 5 weeks number 1 on the MTV Urban Charts, 10 weeks number 1 in the Greek Shazam Charts, No. 1 in the iTunes Charts in Cyprus and Romania Top 10 in the German iTunes Hip-Hop Charts. Meanwhile, Triandafilidis appears on the big stages in Germany as a DJ, for example at the live New Year's Eve Show 2013/2014 for ZDF in Berlin at the Brandenburg Gate .

In 2015 Triandafilidi's US singer and songwriter Goldie got on board for the production of the song "BB Link Up", who had already worked with Christina Aguilera , Rita Ora and Chris Brown .
