RADIO.D59B / GOOD NEWS RADIO SHOW 15/12/22

1) Tell us a bit about yourself and your record collection.

I started DJing just for fun with a few records that I’ve got from my dad. From there I made my way and focused almost exclusively onto 80s funk, Boogie, Breakdance and Funk. We were throwing parties as 'The Brides' in Berlin just to be able celebrating the music that was hard to find here at this time. Diggin deeper into that kind of music I became very interested in contemporary funk and the worldwide scene around it. We started to book Funk DJs. Nowadays my electrofunk sets are infused with Afro, Disco House gems and all that’s groovy. I would consider myself more as a DJ than a collector. I am not hoarding them, but finding records became definitely an obsession. 

2) 45/7 is all about celebrating the 7". Can you tell us a bit about what you love about the format.

I have to admit that I didn’t appreciate the 7" for a long time. I came late across this scene through meeting Marc Hype. Nowadays I've been intentionally checking those crates too. I think my brighter awareness got also shaped by the contemporary funk scene through labels like Voyage Funktastique, the Funkfreaks and Starcreature universal vibrations who released mostly on 7". I love about the format that it has formed a very specific scene around it. It's been mostly people who are referred to as 'turntablists'. The 7" challenged me to play differently to create faster changes. My focus is still on the 12". I like the long versions of songs and that these records often include a remix version or even acapella. 

3) One hour of vinyl goodness... can you talk us through your selection for your 45/7 mix?

My selection for 45/7 was open format and the mix mirrors perfectly my 7" collection. Since they are often quite cheap I end up getting records I wouldn't intentionally include in my DJ Sets. 'Kutte' for example was inspired by Katmando & Marc Hypes Funkvergnügen (a unique mix of German funk and rare grooves)I loved those mixes. I like interpretations of songs like Bacao Rhythm does. I fell immediately in love with the cooperation of Dâm Funk and Snoopzilla. The whole Westcoast Cali vibe that ties up to DJ Quik, Suga Free, Mac Dre... Also I love uplifting messages and 'lemme do my thang, cause I'mma do my thang - only you can do you, so do it, do it, do it!' :) is exactly what I need to hear from time to time. ‚In a trance‘ was a record I found together with around 25 other super cheap 7" in a recordshop in Liège. Jamie Lidell (Mr.Oizo Remix) came across in Berlin. I listened a lot to his Multiply album that's why this 7" catched my attention and I did nothing wrong. What I want to add is that I played most of the records in this mix for the first time publicly! 

4) Where can people catch you / listen to your music? 

People can catch me playing at my residency at refuge worldwide radio (please check out their website). You’ll find all my upcoming dates on SoundCloud. https://soundcloud.com/femdelic

5) Top 5 all time fave records

My top records change from time to time but I am a fan of Chic and how those tracks are composed in so many layers. I resisted many years playing so called 'classics' but I can't dismiss the power and joy those jams bring to people. You feel an interconnectedness beyond words through music as an universal language. One all-time-favorite of mine is 'Boogie fire' from Mac Thornhill; my Jam! Cameo's 'she's strange' accompanied me since I've started playing records. My first DJ name was SHIH in accordance to this track. Since I felt always like an alien; different, not belonging the song became my theme song. Shirley Lites 'heat you up (meltdown) among many other great West End Records releases is a favorite electrofunk gem. I found 'sabes que hora es' randomly at the fleamarket and I really love this Italo-Euro-Disco track. It's a real firecracker!
