playin strictly vinyl from soul to house since 1999!

In 1978 a german mother and her puertorican man decided to give birth to a little boy called Kai Torres. His father's passion was music, especially experimental shit and mixing vinyl. Instead of telling stories or playing tapes of fairytales, the evening sessions were affected by feeling the beat and getting involved in the deep fervor of music. So Kai began to get familiar with electronic music in the early 90s and started to dub his first tapes for friends. Therefor he had to use his father's equipment even after he was able to buy his first own record player. The more he grew up the more he found friends in his neighborhood and his down to the present day partner and friend Oliver Flohr (a.k.a. Flizz). Oliver was also highly inspired by Hip Hop and electronic music. This was the birth of the collaboration between Kai and Flizz and they spent a lot of time in working with beats or rather cutting and dubbing them for friends. Both of them were known for innovative and emotional sets in their circle of friends but as time goes on other people got attentive to them. It was time to rock parties, first in small spheres but shortly after that in regional clubs as a real DJ. Kai could socialize with many folks and even national clubs and organizer were interested in him. Later he started to arrange his own parties in cooperation with Flizz and their friends while Oliver put his focus on producing substantial Hip Hop beats which he was able to take to various mixtapes in the US (DJ Soulless presents …). At that time both of them combined their Know How, whether flowing Hip Hop beats or electronic nightlife, and thus produced House & Techno with a touch of Soul and Black music. In 2004 they made it to the very popular festival „Phunkadelic Nites“ in Idar Oberstein. By now for about twenty years of being a team Kai & Flizz are still working on tracks and playing their sets at House parties known as „Radaubrause“ around Mainz (Germany), always fulfillig the crowd's needs and obsessions.
