Collector/DJ:

I began collecting records in the early 1990s. Influenced by my brother's excellent

music tastes, I too quickly became a vinyl junky. At first only interested in

Funk/Soul and Hip Hop, my musical interests developed over the years, adding

Afro, Latin/Brasilian and funky Breaks and Beats to my pallet. In 2000 I became

a professional DJ. In the same year I was touring Europe with 'The Poets of

Rhythm', the worlds first retro-funk band which brought back the deep funk sound

and had released one of their last albums on DJ Shadow's Quannum label. I continued

DJ-ing and finally did a huge tour in June/July 2006 where I toured Europe and

Australia to promote my second compilation 'Movements 2'.



Compilations:

2005: Movements 1 on Perfect Toy Records

2006: Movements 2 on Perfect Toy Records

2007: This Is My Thing on Tramp Records

2009: Contemporary Funk on Tramp Records

2010: Contemporary Jazz on Tramp Records

2011: Contemporary Afro Beat on Tramp Records



Producing:

In late 2005 I started making music on my own and had my first appearance

on Dusty's fantastic 'Jazz & Milk Breaks Vol.1' 12" single release. (make

sure to check out his myspace account too) 'Revolver Theme', the track I produced

together with him, represents my musical roots and is filled with lots of funky

flavour. I am currently working on several projects with different people, incl.

german Hip Hop legend Sagaflex and local producer M-smart, just to name a few.

The latest collboration was 'I Got The Number' by Fresh Mark & Black Hawk

feat. Finlands No.1 funk band, The Soul Investigators. Also don't miss Tramp's

first compilation titled 'This Is My Thing - selected freestyle' by label head

Tobias Kirmayer. Out late June 2007.



Radio Show:

In march 2006 I started a bi-monthly radio show called SOUL POPCORN. It

takes place every second monday on Munich's independent radio station M94.5.

We focus on Rare Funk, Raw Soul & Latin-Boogaloo. You can listen to it via

live stream here.



Club nights:

Along with my Perfect Toy label partner Jerker Kluge (from Hi-Fly Orchestra/The

Boogoos fame) we doing our SHAKE-A-LEG club night at the Glockenbachwerkstatt.

Expect music from all genres, kind of "Old School meets Turntable Jazz".
