berlin based IT student doing electronic music

About Me

Hello, my name is Johan Uhle. I was born in 1987 in Berlin/Germany. Currently I’m living in Berlin-Friedrichshain. I am studying IT-Systems-Engineering at the Hasso-Plattner-Institut in Potsdam near Berlin.

I’m interested in “cool stuff”. I love to do things. But I do not believe the hype.

I’m producing electronic music and play as a DJ under the alias Disko DNA.

Stuff you can talk with me about:

  • Web apps
  • Nerd culture
  • Berlin
  • Music (consuming and producing)
  • DJing (vinyl, controllerism)
  • Starting Things and Getting Them Done

Just contact me for anything on your mind.
