first dj job 1988. in those days it was two tone ska & 2nd revival ska like potato 5, the trojans, the busters or the toasters. soon after that first rootsreggae & dub contact. the interest came to all kinds of jamaican music and lead to dancehall. 1992 first dancehall gig. 93/94 few shows in homebase darmstadt, germany. 95/96 the dancehallcrowd was growing and general motors – not yet in the name of superwhip – was sowing the seeds of dancehall bashment.
after a trip to notting hill carnival in 1998 he came back with a whole heap of brandnew 45..s and the idea of the name “superwhip†for his soundsystem. start of “pon de riddim†mixtape series. in 1999 general motors got part of riddim wize, a frankfurt based sound. with riddim wize he performed alongside tolga, marlon b, jah sesco, markie j, jah meek, d-flame - to name but a few – for about 6 years in a monthly overcrowded dancehallshow in frankfurt.
besides riddim wize, superwhip was growing and more mixtapes were released, more superwhip shows came along including invitations to several radioshows in the rhein/main area, solo and support shows in germany, austria & the netherlands.
nowadays superwhip hi-fi is running in different variations. besides creating remixes and riddims for several artists or riddim wize-associated mc/singer such as markie j and jah sesco, general motors is doing his passion: spinning records.
superwhip is the thing when it comes to cool ska & lovely rocksteady or heavy roots & dub sets as well as the battyshakin.. dancehall bashment. so watch out for a show in your favorite club or send a mail if you want to book superwhip hi-fi alongside dj general motors.
