1) We really enjoyed your mix, especially the selection of a few (conscious) Hip Hop classics by Guru, could you perhaps tell us a bit about your connection to Hip Hop?

Like many others, my connection to Hip Hop started when I was around 13 or 14, especially Hip Hop from New York. I really discovered Hip Hop through the album 36 Chambers by the Wu Tang Clan. At some point I found music by Guru and DJ Premier (Gang Starr) and was like WOOOW. The album Moment of Truth is really amazing, especially the lyrics of JFK to LAX, Robin Hood Theory and Moment of Truth, they really influenced me. I actually played two songs from Guru’s album without Premier, they’re called Jazzmatazz. Here Guru worked together with many Soul, Funk and Jazz musicians such as Roy Ayers, Donald Byrd, Lonnie Liston Smith and many more. I would say that the album Jazzmatazz Vol. 2 is my absolute favorite album. Anyone who doesn’t know the album should really listen to it. It’s a masterpiece. Very nice beats and conscious lyrics, different from the sexist and drug glorifying lyrical themes often prevalent in Hip Hop. Furthermore, I dealt extensively with the topic of sampling through Hip Hopa and discovered music genres such as Funk, Soul, Jazz, Jazz-Funk etc


2) How do you go about digging for new records? Do you have any favourite spots? And do you have a preference between 12" albums, 12" singles, 7" singles, compilations, reissues and the Like?

In Berlin there are many cool spots to dig for vinyl. For house music I usually go to OYE Records or Bikini Waxx. For other music genres I don’t have any specific spots. I often go to a random record store and see what I like, usually you’ll find something you like. When I buy music that I really want on vinyl, I check Discogs. I think with House music I really like records where on the track is included in different versions on the  A and B side for example a Classic Vocal Mix, Dub mix etc. Sometimes the tracks have funny names like New York Hustle Mix or something, I’m always happy to see that. For music that I just listen to at home to hang out, I prefer 12” albums. You can just put the record on and let it play.

3) What are your biggest inspirations musically? We'd love to know!

There isn’t a single music inspiration for me. It’s generally the music I listen to every day, all musicians and products, DJ’s and people I speak to music about and listen to. It brings me great joy to be surrounded by these people and for this I’m very grateful.

Thank you to the Paradisco crew to let me be part of your podcast series. I really enjoy it, finally focusing on music genres other than techno and house. In Berlin some of these genres are slightly neglected.

When I'm alone
With no one to love me
And the tears start to fall
From my eyes
Wont somebody
Somebody please love me, oh-oh
Just a little
Just a little, please love me

Somebody

Full vinyl set recorded @ Disquaire by Le Disquaire du Dimanche, LAB Nantes (05.02.23)

Burning

Trip & Shake

To be released June 21st 2017.

The Brooklyn Sessions bring together old and new Pinkman friends. Annanan returns, this time with Maroje T, for three pieces of NY darkness. Acid tainted torment opens the 12”, pain and rejection catalogued in the barren “Confrontations in Terms of Sexuality.” “I Saw You” maintains that cold edge. Militaristic percussion is dipped in industrial grease, lost samples circling in a haze of distortion. The pair explore reduction with tracks being boiled down to leave only distilled dread behind. The breathy vocals of “I Am” close, drum patterns looped into machine groan and the aching abyss.
