About Me

welcome!

I am a wildlife biologist, capoeirista, dj and weseler mod.

Originated from Germany and with the age of 16 I came in contact with the European Northern Soul- and Mod-scene. Since then I spent passion, time and - indeed - a lot of money into records, scooter and travel to allnighter and weekender in Germany and abroad.

Strongly influenced by the soundtracks of the sixties and seventies as well as the driving beat of Northern Soul, sixties R&B, 60s and early 70s Funk and Acid Jazz, my lineup focuses on souldriven, brassy, funky groovers with powerful voices spiced with percussions, wah-wah attacks and flute loops: Northern Soul, Deep Funk, Hammond Tunes, Dancefloor Jazz and sixties R&B + Soulbeat.
