Influences: Chic - the ones who intialized a sound-design copied by countless --- Sergio Mendes & Brazil '66 - still catching me with their stressless, warm vibe. --- Daft Punk - taught me that there's more in for House-Music than only disco --- Queen - sort of a revelation for me, the "wall of sound" rock-wise --- The S.O.S. Band - the first time I heard a Roland 808 Rhythm Composer combined with those FAT Jupiter-Bass, I was immediatley fascinated by their sound! --- Carlos Santana - great percussion-group coupled with this excellent guitar --- Cerrone - never knew how many influence the guy had on disco at that time --- Aretha Franklin - her unforgettable live-performance at Filmore-West of "Reach out and touch" - I could sing along in the car and start crying right away --- Jan Hammer - the one who would make a synth sound like a solo-rock-guitar --- Mtume - the masters of programmed minimalism --- Miles Davis - always avant-garde and cool the dude, of whom I learned a lot of how Jazz FEELS, Superfunk - I love this frenchy-sound --- Roger - mostly impressive with his talk-box-sound, how the hell is he doing it? --- Salsoul - Philly wouldn't have been without them! --- Soul II Soul - old-skool now, avant-garde then --- Stan Getz - atmosphere is more important than noodling your instrument --- Sarah Vaughn - the best Jazz-voice besides Ella --- Earth Wind & Fire - adored by every musician for their sound, accuracy, I always liked their songs! --- Prince - genius of his own, showing that commercial success can be achieved with your own visions --- Wilson Pickett - one of the fattest voices ever --- Pat Metheny, De-Phazz, Roy Ayers, The Police - still sondern so fresh and "modern", great minimalistic songs with a unique vibe --- and, of course, The Beatles - with them it all started out for me;-)
