Infected by electronic music bug in the early 90's, Yan Stricker played at his first parties in 1997 and became resident at the underground club the "Veaudoux" in 1998. Over the next few years, Yan performed throughout the Swiss french and german part of Switzerland.
In 2000 Yan created an collective called "PKSystem" designed to promote more "Electro" sounds and over the next 3 years, organised some 20 successful parties.
The need to share his sound got the better of him and in 2008, he found himself playing for the collectives "Afterlokal" and Minidetail". His solid reputation as a competent and hard working promoter earned him the invitation to join the committee of the Chocolate Festival, a successful 2 -day, open-air daylight festival which attracts thousands of people who enjoy dancing in the sun by the lakeside of Lausanne.
At the same time, Yan launched his own digital label called !Organism aiming not only to release his owntracks under his pseudo name of "Das" but also to welcome other artists who shared the same approach to sound such as: Alexi Delano, Max Cooper, Perc, Sasha Carassi, Tom Hades, Hans Bouffmyhre, Audio Injection, Kane Roth, Kimono, Go!Diva and Mylo Salte.
!Organism has gotten huge support from the industry’s main players such as Adam Beyer, Alan Fitzpatrick, Joseph Capriati, Joel Mull, Paco Osuna, The Advent, Mistress Barbara, Mihalis Safras, Christian Smith, Gary Beck, Samuel L Session, Norman Nodge, Technasia among many others!
