Born in Thuringia , Dapayk first came into contact with broken beats and drum and bass in the early 1990s . His first appearances were under the drum and bass live act "Frauds in White" and mark the beginning of his career in electronic music. With “Frauds in White” and his other alter ego at the time, “Otherwise”, Dapayk established himself as a well-known resident in Central Germany .

He developed his current status in minimal techno with performances as a live act, remixer and various collaborations. Under the project Dapayk & Padberg, together with his wife, the photo model Eva Padberg , the third album after “ Close Up ” and “ Black Beauty ” was released in February 2010 .
In addition to his own labels, Dapayk publishes on Katermukke, Stil vor Talent, Herzblut, Karloff, Textone, Orac, Contexterrior, Trapez, “Resopal Schallware” and “Friends of Tomorrow”. Dapayk also published various solo works under other pseudonyms, including as "Marek Bois" on Trapez and Rrygular.

Albums
| 2005 | "Close Up" | Dapayk & Padberg's debut album focused on rave and techhouse . |
| 2006 | "Impulsion Parasite" | Dapayk's debut solo album is somewhere between a club floor and a more experimental sound. The CD version also contains a second CD with pure “Listening Electronica” pieces. |
| 2007 | "Black Beauty" | Was stylized in scene circles as a response to the decline of vinyl in the DJ scene. Her second work shows blurring influences of minimal techno and pop , while strongly emphasized hip-hop sound collages play a role. |
| 2008 | "Boissche Shallows" | Dapayk's debut album under his alter ego “Marek Bois” lives minimal techno and, with a tendency to rave, forms the focus of the album. |
| 2008 | "Devil's House" | Dapayk's second solo album is characterized by a dark touch. In addition to the dance floor-oriented pieces, the influence of breakbeat elements can be clearly heard. |
| 2010 | "Decade One (2000-2010)" | A review of the first creative period with many previously unreleased titles and remastered material. A double album clearly marked by jazz influences. |
| 2012 | "Sweet Nothings" | In 2012 the third album by Dapayk & Padberg was released. It is characterized by melodic techno, said the two in an interview. |
| 2013 | "Smoke" | The fourth album by Dapayk & Padberg was released in September 2013. "Smoke" turns away from the dance floor and towards listening electronica. The album uses more dubstep elements and song-like structures. |
| 2015 | "#nofilter" | According to Dapayk "more linear, reduced and more analog" than previous material. |
| 2017 | "Harbor" | Dapayk & Padberg complete the step towards listening electronica / downbeats. |
| 2018 | "The Calling" | Dapayk's solo album turns again more towards the dance floor. "The Calling" is a summer album between deep and tech house. |
Sound
Dapayk himself describes his sound as "Frickel". In terms of sound technology, he experimentally lets individual musical art forms of minimal, "electronica" and breakbeats flow into one another in a demanding manner. In 2018 Niklas Wört released a single with the musician "VARS". Since 2019 they have been working on a joint album.
