The musical journey of Rouven as a deejay began in 1996 with hardtrance and the name "Pacemaker".
Until 2008 he was deejaying in countless clubs in northern Germany and even two times in the bunker of Tunnel at Nature One Festival, before he switched his style from hardstyle/hardcore to trance.
From this moment he used the german translation of his dj name "Schrittmacher".
2012 he was at a progressive/psytrance festival for the first time and got infected by that style at once.
From 2014 till 2017 and together with DJ Syncron he had been in charge for all activities of worldwidetribe events which means countless events like, Indian Spirit, Psychedelic Circus, Goa Nation and Infinity for example.
He has been an Iono Music Label DJ since 2017 and is responsible for the bookings in the psytrance/progressive trance section for ME-Events, the organizer of Airbeat One, Indian Spirit, the former Psychedelic Circus and many more, as well as for Lalanda World Festival, Westcoast Spirit & Nations of Legends Festival Switzerland.
He was able to present his dj sets full of energy to the audiences for example at:
Antaris, Indian Spirit, Psychedelic Circus, VooV, Airbeat One, Sonica Italy, Outdoor Selection Switzerland, Desert Dance Egypt, Twilight South Africa, & many more
