Finckh was born in Freiburg, Germany.
He started playing the trumpet at the age of 10 and studied the instrument in Berlin at the Hochschule für Musik "Hanns Eisler" with professors like Gerard Presencer and Jiggs Wigham.
He switched over to producing and performing electronic music, mainly because of his studio work for RAS and the Sonar Kollektiv/Jazzanova.
As a trumpet player Finckh has been on tour/in the studio with Seeed, Knorkator and many others.
He also plays the bass part with a baritone horn in various brass bands and does a freaky one-man show loaded with loops, effects and beatboxing.
With his eclectic sets of sophisticated and humorous dance music, Finckh is a sought after DJ.
December 2005, Finckh released a 12" called "Aua Dieler" on the Berlin-based label Tonkind, also available as mp3 download.
Here, he follows his concept of taking the everyday sounds that surround us - like the flooboards on "Aua Dieler" or the stones and mason tool sounds on "Stone Hop" - and make them dance.
You could call his music "home-cooked broken beats". Or call it what you like.
As you know, most important thing is the GROOVE. And that's why the biography stops right here

James Brown, Eddie Harris, Bobby McFerrin, Herbie Hancock, Parliament, Glen Goins, Sly, Tower Of Power, Flanger, LIFE HEREANDNOW
Funk upon a time there was jazz
and cats like Clifford Brown, Eddie Harris and Cannonball Adderley
would dig it and drive it into something funky
The summer of love heard the rising of the gods of funk
James Brown Herbie Hancock Sly Stone
George Clinton and the Parliament of funk were about to funkatize the planet
In 1972, when the spirit of love and funk was dancing on razors edge
it melted into the one
FINCKH was born
ever since then
the buddha of funkness has put his energy
into the groove
and finally reached enfonkment
here it is for you to feel it
