Ripperton and Mirko Loko were both well known DJS on the electronic swiss scene and having
a career on their own when they met and discover musical affinities in each others work. They
started together under the name of Lazy Fat People.

Mirko started when he was 17 years old and quickly got noticed for his musical inspiration,
sounds from Detroit and Chicago. He worked as a director & planner of programm and resident
DJ on famous national radio Couleur 3 during 3 years and started to mix in Loft electroclub

the rex in Paris, the an-fer in Dijon, the Cova and the moog in Barcelona, the Mazzo in Amsterdam,
the mythical club Cielo in NewYork, the Tresor in Berlin and especially at the Detroit Electronic
Music Festival (d.e.m.f 2001) in Detroit organised by Carl Craig, who invited Mirko for the second
edition. He was also resident at the Matrix in Zurich (belonging to Sven Väth and Leila from
Dekadance) and he played at the 2004 WMC.

Mirko left for New York where he was offered a residency for that period at the NewYork club
Tronic Treatment in Soho. Nowadays, aside from the Lazy Fat People project, Mirko is in charge
of the artistic program of the Loft Electroclub and is well supported by his mentors, Carl Craig,
Derrick May and Laurent Garnier.
