Collector/DJ:
I began collecting records in the early 1990s. Influenced by
my brother's excellent music tastes, I too quickly became a vinyl junky. At
first only interested in Funk/Soul and Hip Hop, my musical interests developed
over the years, adding Afro, Latin/Brasilian and funky Breaks and Beats to my
pallet. In 2000 I became a professional DJ. In the same year I was touring Europe
with 'The Poets of Rhythm', the worlds first retro-funk band which brought back
the deep funk sound and had released one of their last albums on DJ Shadow's
Quannum label. I continued DJ-ing and finally did a huge tour in June/July 2006
where I toured Europe and Australia to promote my second compilation 'Movements
2'.
Compilations:
In January 2005 I released my first Rare Funk compilation
called 'Movements' on Perfect Toy Records. The second volume in this
series, 'Movements 2', has just been released in July 2006, again on
Perfect Toy Records (Munich). Just recently I released my first compilation
on Tramp entitled "This Is My Thing - selected freestyle compiled by
Tobias Kirmyer". At the moment my label partner Jerker Kluge and I
are working on a compilation project called "Jazzkombinat"
which is supposed to be released early 2009.

Producing:
In late 2005 I started making music on my own and had my
first appearance on Dusty's fantastic 'Jazz & Milk Breaks Vol.1'
12" single release. (make sure to check out his myspace account too) 'Revolver
Theme', the track I produced together with him, represents my musical roots
and is filled with lots of funky flavour. I am currently working on several
projects with different people, incl. german Hip Hop legend Sagaflex and local
producer M-smart, just to name a few. The latest collboration was 'I Got
The Number' by Fresh Mark & Black Hawk feat. Finlands No.1 funk
band, The Soul Investigators. Also don't miss Tramp's first compilation
titled 'This Is My Thing - selected freestyle' by label head Tobias Kirmayer.
Out late June 2007.
Radio Show:
Together with Daniel Köhler I started a bi-monthly
radio show called 'Soul Popcorn' in march 2006. It takes place
every second monday on Munich's independent radio station M94.5. We focus on
Rare Funk, Raw Soul & Latin-Boogaloo. You can listen to it via live stream.

Club nights:
Along with my Perfect Toy label partner Jerker Kluge (from
Hipnosis/Hi-Fly Orchestra fame) we are about to start a label night at the famous
Registratur
called Holy Grail. Expect music from all genres, kind of "Old
School meets Turntable Jazz".
