Floating World

About Me

Things started back in 1985, when I first got into dad’s records... Donna Summer (I feel love) and Patrick Hernandez (Born to be Alive) were the first tunes ever recorded on good old tape lol... a few months & tons of vinyl later I was showing off @ the local students pub...It was crystalclear from the beginning that those megatunes everybody seemed to like left me stonecold deaf and numb... I was digging into 70’s Funk (Lyn Collins ’Think’ is still in my playlist when things get nostalgic lol) & New Wave (check New Order’s Blue Monday, Simple Minds their ’Theme for great Cities’ or Human League’s Being Boiled)...Anyway, by the summer of 1992 the ball got rollin... I got the attention I had been seeking for and, i admit, i’m proud to say my hometown folks learned all about ’real music’ (as i called it) on party’s I was asked to dj....damn those were the days...it’s 2006 as I write this... things have evolved but we’re still on the road... I still get my kicks out of the crowd, the vibes, the music. Somewhere in the nineties I began remixing and reforming, adding bits, pieces and bleeps to tunes that were not 100pct fit for the dancefloor in my ears (lol)...the result of this natural proces ? Writing & composing my own stuff...thanks to all who gave me the chance making this a lifestyle!
