From my myspace:
“With Grace Jones’ Slave To The Rhythm 12″ single being my first own (music) record in the early eighties (really cool, isn’t it…!?) and a growing interest in music during my teen years I developed a deep love to hip hop and black/urban culture focussing on the usual suspects from the westcoast like Ice-T, Ice Cube and N.W.A.
Later on I got to know the more conscious side of rap mainly from NYC with artists like Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth, KRS One, Eric B. & Rakim, Gang Starr and the Native Tongues (A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Brand Nubian etc.).
Fascinated by dj techniques I had never seen before it was just a question of time (and money) that I bought my first technics turntable (my parents’ record player wasn’t satisfying any more) and started spending as much money as i could on vinyl records…
In the late nineties (as a result of growing older, probably…) my musical taste broadened and I fell in love with club orientated electronic sounds (from deep house to minimal and intelligent techno) while still digging for old soul & funk breaks and disco stuff.
Of course, there is nothing wrong about good ol’ rock music, so whenever there is “the next big thing” from Indie-UK, I’ll certainly give it a try…”
