Sushi Brothers Live @ Groovalistic – Part 2 (04.03.2000)

Alright, here it is – Part 2 of our legendary Sushi Brothers live show, recorded on March 4th, 2000 at the one and only Groovalistic, where 700 party people brought the place to life!

Kawasaki G.I.D. and Em Scratch Kamakura on four turntables and FX, Kabuki Mattes killing it on the drums, Tim-O-Ka shredding the electric guitar, and Yogi Jok En grooving on the organ.

The second half of the set goes in hard – kicking off with some high-energy drum’n’bass, then cooling down into some laid-back, funky midtempo beats.

Honestly, I’m surprised this homemade CD survived 25 years. I was sure it wouldn’t play anymore – Part 1 was basically toast. One disc wouldn’t read at all, and the other had tons of digital glitches. Thankfully, Em Scratch had a working copy of Part 1, though even his version gets glitchy towards the end.

That’s why I’m even more hyped that Part 2 still works! My backups were all dead, but Em’s CD played just fine – shoutout to him for keeping it safe.

Old stuff, but what a time that was. Massive vibes, wild nights, unforgettable energy.
Much love to everyone who was there – and thanks for making it epic.

DJ G.I.D., a true pioneer of the electronic music scene in Koblenz / Germany, kicked off the very first Groovalistic Party in 1995, alongside his DJ buddies and friends, M-Pire and Oldcut. Throughout the '90s and '00s, they took over nearly every club in and around Koblenz, showcasing their distinctive blend of Electrofunk, BigBeat, Drum'n'Bass, Jungle, Breakbeat, Downbeat, and Dub. The Groovalistic Party soared in fame beyond the confines of Koblenz, often packing clubs to the brim, sometimes with crowds exceeding 1,000 people – sheer madness! This popularity allowed them to host renowned guests from Germany, Austria, and especially England, including DJs, live bands, and video artists. But the Groovalistic DJs Oldcut, G.I.D., and M-Pire didn't just stay local; they toured across Germany and neighboring countries.

Now at 56, G.I.D. remains a fervent vinyl enthusiast and passionate DJ. Once known for carrying hefty crates of records, he has since embraced digital DJing and amassed a vast collection of digital tracks. Always on the hunt for something new, he has continually broadened his musical tastes: from Downtempo to Global Bass, Electronic Worldbeats, and experimental Bass and Dubstep stuff, whether straightforward or playful – no two sets are ever the same. His sets are versatile, thrilling, and full of variety. We're all eager to see what musical journey he'll take us on next.
