About Mapusa Mapusa
His interest in electronic music was awakend during the early 90's. Later in 1993 Thomas aka Mapusa Mapusa visited the first psy-parties and was completely fascinated by the music. During 1995 he began buying vinyls and building a collection. Starting off with a pair of turntable imitations he was able to mix music. In early 1996 Thomas travelled to Goa / India, to still the growing curiosity he had for this country, its people and of course the music. Immediately following the return to Europe he went to Ibiza for a few months. There and before in India he played initial dj sets and got completely thrilled. Returning to Germany, Occiasional booking convinced him to continue his new passion. Many thanks in this place to Ernst and Andrea, who layed the foundations. After meeting Fabio they began spinning as a team. 1999 and 2000 they had the huge honour of playing at the Voov Experience festival, as well for U-Site, Free Form etc. The interest n their dj sets grew well beyond Germany. Gigs in South Africa, Japan and Europe followed. Later Fabio and Mapusa decided to go their own paths, because interests began to change. Then he met Daniel (Shiva Chandra) and they began producing regularly together. Quite fast they produced the first track together. ''Schaukelstuhl' became a big succes and really surprised them both. So the decicion to found the Auricular project was made, and a year later the first album 'Audion' was released.. Request from around the world increased. With appearances on all continents he began travelling. Never pausing performing as a dj, the task remains very enjoyable, with memorable sets in Cape Town, New York, Japan, Mexico and of course Europe. After a while he started a new project Human Traffic with Stephan Wötanowski. The debut album is going to released in April 2007 on Blue Tunes Records. Today he is 43 years old and can say that he's having as much fun as ever travelling the world and pleasing people with music and never would want to miss it.
