Biography
From Hamburg's rooftops to Madrid's terraces
CHIEF is a House DJ and producer whose sets are built for the peak hours. His sound moves between raw percussive power and cinematic depth — high-energy records carried by hypnotic grooves and a sense of drama that keeps a floor locked in from the first drop to the last.
He came up in Hamburg, where he became a regular fixture of the city's underground circuit — from the industrial rooms of Gleishalle Oberhafen and the Mini Boiler sessions at Frames to open-air rooftops like Villa Viva. Alongside the local collective FOR US he shared line-ups with international selectors such as Phil Soda, Mr Kenou and David Mackay, sharpening a live approach that leans as much on programming and tension as it does on big-room energy.
As a producer, CHIEF has released on leading labels including Afrodite and DENAR Records. His singles — among them "No Fallas", "My Heart", "TO THE TOP" and "The Take" — have passed 118,000 streams across platforms, while his remix work has drawn support from more than 100 DJs worldwide and helped push his name beyond the German scene.
Under the alias NO CODE, he explores the wider range of the club continuum — Speed Garage, UKG, House and Garage — proving a fluency that refuses to be boxed into a single genre. The NO CODE RADIO mixtape series and his official showcase set document that versatility in full.
"Always intense, always unforgettable."
CHIEF is now based in Madrid, where he holds a residency at the terrace series MAISŌN SOLEIL at Nómada Terrace. Dividing his time between Madrid and Hamburg, he continues to tour, produce and take on select bookings across Europe.
