SKAIs musical career started anno 1994. Soon after the son of Chilean immigrants finished his education as a DJ in Wiesbaden’s Park Café, he consequently was responsible for Saturday’s schedule there. Motownsoul, Danceclassics as well as R’n’B dominated his sets until he became open-minded towards other music-genres and found his passion for electronic music – House and Techno. SKAI’s roots are manifested in the German Rhein-Main-Techno-Scene.
As a result his passion for vinyl arose, which intensified through visits in record-stores in New York and London. 15 years later SKAI is considered as one of the most influential DJs either in the Rhein-Main-Area as well as in the international scene. Gigs in Barcelona, Ibiza, Zurich and Vancouver and of course his residency at the world famous CocoonClub in Frankfurt outline this image. But that is not certainly everything that stands out in SKAIs career. For seven years SKAI directed the fate of the 50degree-Underground-Club as a booker and Resident-DJ and for another eight years he has been one of the headliners for Frankfurts event-agency Envy (ENVY MY MUSIC). Furthermore, he released a bounch of Tracks wit his buddy AMIR as GROOVE REBELS on Labels like Great Stuff, Harthouse, POLO Rec and works on further releases.
But top-notch of SKAI’s career remains his passion for Housemusic, which never impaired even when he slipped into other music-genres in the past. No, through the renaissance of Housemusic especially through labels like Cecille, Below, Connaisseur or Oslo SKAI’s passion for groovy, driving and percussive music appeared – his personal rebirth followed.

Bernard worked together with Jens Marquardt at CanThrill to produce Vancouver's premier party, 'Lobby' at Ginger 62. He is a resident there amongst Vancouver's top Electronic DJs. He toured with CanThrill to promote Lobby in Germany/Greece and in the best clubs in the world such as Coccoon Club in Frankfurt, Germany.
