. "the key wizzard" has been playing his piano for the last 29 years.He began with a classical education , and by the time he was 14 years old was analyzing the compositions of Gershwin and Bruback, leading to a keen interest in jazz music. He quickly developed his knowledge of the creative works of many great jazz/funk pianists such as Herbie Hancock , Bob James , Chick Corea and Adam Makiewicz.



Infected with the funk rhythm , Jim Dunloop became interested in Rap music in the early nineties. In 1991 he became a member of the legendary " FRESH FAMILEE " rap crew. In 1993, together with Fresh Familee drummer SPLINTA , he formed the group " KONSTRUKTIVE KRITIK ". Over the next few years the group appeared on many compilations and in 1995 they released their debut album "Kuehl" on iGadget's Label Köln Massive.



In 2001 Jim Dunloop moved from Dusseldorf to Germany's art and music capitol Berlin. He quickly began a collaboration with world renowned DJ and Turntablist Marc Hype , resulting in a driving combination of funk breaks , re-edits and oldschool beats. The live performance of Marc Hype & Jim Dunloop is best defined as a mix of Djing , Turntablism and the highest of piano art.



Apart from all this Jim performs together with Mr.Krime and Daniel Drumz , both highly respected Djs from Poland , under the name " Mako Boko ".



Together with drummer Guiseppe Coppola ( Brothers Keepers ) , and bassist Patte Frank ( Jimi Tenor ) Jim Dunloop has recently grounded the quartet called " The Raw Sonics ". This project allows Jim to express his affection of live performance. He put together this impressive group of musicians with the intent of recording and performing the music which he passionatly loves.
