#throwback
one night in 2001 (I guess) my homie Stefan had booked the Chicago & Hip House legend Fast Eddie to the Tiefenrausch Club in Cologne. We grew up with Rap music and loved Hip House. Our cronie Pumpmasta Roland was so hyped by the presence of the Chi-Town royality, that he left the club to go home to search his Fast Eddie 12". It took hours until he came back with the vinyl to the club, that had almost emptied.

We threw on the record and then the magic happend. Early morning bliss in the DJ booth. Mc Pumpmasta Roland gave the introduction and then Eddie himself spit his lyrics live over the "Yoyo Get Funky" vinyl. Luckily we were so aware to record this moment on MiniDisc. Amen
