In 1994 Manuel Lauro decided to quit the rave scene, which he participated in his youth in Germany throughout the twist of commercialisation in music.

He decided to run an underground techno label called Turntable Tools shortly after he successfully quit high school. During this time he played as DJ where he used turntables at Musiktheater, now called 130 BPM, in Kassel. After a break when he successfully studied law science with a degree and becoming lawyer he got back into the techno scene 2010 visiting Mayday, Twenty Young, and shortly after that helping the crew of Raveline Magazine founding German FAZEmag.
He restarted his DJ-career in Berlin @ the Old Magdalena Club, where he played at the closing. Open Air Gigs were @ Lichtpark Berlin. He also played several gigs in Cologne @ Warehouse(Essigfabrik, Elektroküche) and also @ Butan Club Wuppertal. He managed it to the main stage of the 6th Berlin Summer Rave @ Flughafen Tempelhof Berlin to the International Warehouse meets Bonzai Stage as DJ alongside his live project 'Goldstream' teaming up with his Partner King Brain. After that he played the Opening @ 1st Parookaville Warehouse Stage Airport Weeze and the opening in the New Magdalena Club in Berlin followed by another gig.
At German FAZEmag he began to write Music Reviews for the last several years until today, getting lots of actual Promos from each state of the Art Techno Labels all around the World.
He produced several bootlegs in order to play his unique sound which can be described as powerful straight forward Techno. The digital Relaunch of the Label 'Turntable Tools' is pending to spread this unique sound.

Since 1989 I listen to Hard House and Techno.

In the Beginning i have been influenced by Hardcore Techno to Industrial Techno. After that i listened to "Jeff Mills - Live at the liquid Room Tokyo" and realized how powerfull a DJ can create a set. Chicago and Detroit Techno nearly completely influenced my career. After that my musical roots started to expand and I decided to buy 2 Turntables and start mixing.

1994 I participated in the German Rave and Hardtrance Scene. 1994 The Mayday Rave Olympia was one of the best Raves in Germany ever. The Technician , who had to watch the Sound in the Dortmunder Westfalenhalle, told during an interview that he had problems to switch the sound system louder than the crowd was screaming! Best Life Act has been Ilsa Gold. After the commercialization throughout Marusha's Somewhere Over the Rainbow i quit the Rave Scene. That time i visited Stammheim in Kassel preaviously called Aufschwung Ost. I was born and grew in Kassel. This Clubscene influenced and formed my musical basics. I enjoyed it to listen to DJ Markies Sets. He has even tought to catch the crowd. Powerful guy.

Turntable Tools was founded in 1998 by myself.

It was distributed via Neuton. Then I quit the Techno Scene in order to examinate. After a "short" Break (Studies, Law Science) I now decided to relaunch my Label Turntable Tools. After the modern methods I remastered the analog Dat Sequence of the Turntable Tools 3 from 1999 with the Digital new methods.

Actually I enjoy the Musik of Vitalic. Great Arrangements and very nice Live-Modulating.
