New installment of the ABSCAST mix series featuring Messiahwaits, DJ and producer from South Korea. He is also resident of the warehouse event "High Tech Seoul", run by Mixmag, and the mastermind behind the fresh new label "Mhz".

His djing style approaches music as an art form rather than falling into genres and common stereotypes. Frequently he takes the crowd on a musical journey filled with droning atmospheres, repetitive jacking rhythms and dark-disturbed auras that never fails to send the dance floor into a frenzy. As a producer he honed his skills in the German city of Berlin where he worked closely with the local label GND Records, releasing two EPs with them. He has several releases in other labels including a track on the eighth edition of the well-known Berghain mixes by Ostgut Ton.
