Henrik Schwarz was born and raised in Germany where he also took his first musical steps as a DJ in local clubs playing rap, hip hop, rare groove and jazz and Detroit techno. Soon after he started to spin regularly he was also interested in computer music production and started to do his own productions in 1992 with a few drumachines and synths. When he got his first laptop in 1998 he started to integrate it into his dj-sets and soon the laptop played an important role in all his music activities. The software got better and better and Henrik was enjoying the new possibilities.

Over the last years with international bookings all around the globe, with regular appearances in Japan, America etc. Henrik improved his Henrik Schwarz live show and is now one of the most requested live acts in the dance scene. At the same time Henrik produced a string of very well received remixes and own tracks: Walk A Mile In My Shoes for Coldcut on Ninja Tune became one of the biggest club hits of 2006, Leave My Head Alone Brain bridged the gap between jazz and techno and soul and was super well received by deejays from hip-hop to house to techno and became the biggest hit for sunday-music so far. Until today he has done remixes for many very well known names like Mari Boine (Universal), Kuniyuki (Mule Musiq), DJ Hell, Tosca (G-Stone), Ethnic Heritage Ensemble (deeper soul), James Brown, Dark Globe Feat. Boy George, Omar Feat. Stevie Wonder, Jazzanova, Jesse Rose, Detroit Experiment, Michael Jackson (Motown) and many others.

With Dixon and Âme from Innervisions Henrik released “Where We At” with Derrick Carter on vocals which became an instant classic and marked the beginning of a fruitful and close collaboration between Henrik and Innervisions until today.
