DJ Novus biography

Markus Schaffarzyk aka DJ Novus was born on 7th November 1976 in a Bavarian monastery in Germany. Even from earliest childhood DJ Novus showed big interest in music and therefore he owned his first record-player already at the age of eight, though then it was all about Elvis Presley and Madonna. In 1995, inspired by various rave parties in Munich, he started his DJ career within the four walls of his parental home. Under his pseudonym "Novus" (Latin for "new") rapidly cast a spell on the regional crowds with his "Hands-up-Party Trance" and generated (unknowingly during an interview during TV show Club Rotation) the term for today's handsup musical style. Friends and fans followed him on buses to his appearances and numerous bookings far beyond the borders of his home state of Bavaria soon followed.

In 1996, while those booking- and resident activites, he got to know Axel Konrad at one of his gigs in his homebase at that time. By a very short time they both knew that they were on the same wavelength – in music matters as well as interpersonal – and a friendship far beyond the "Dj-thing" developed.

In cooperation with his friend Axel Konrad from Suprime Music in Ingolstadt, the project Groove Coverage was founded overnight in summer 2001. The debut single Are u ready entered the Dance/Club charts both in Germany and abroad. With the second single Moonlight Shadow came the final major breakthrough and a success that nobody would have even dared to imagine...

Markus is Director General Manager of the agency Novus Booking.
