Oleo Up Tempo

The unique club is my all time favourite venue with its fantastic mixture of sixties and funk flavoured grooves. The "Unique" musicstyle is representing best, what dancemusic is to me and what kind of music immediately touches my heart and feet. I had the idea of making a tribute mix, when i first heard the track "Afro Cookie" by Renegades of jazz. A powerful and super funky Afrojazz tune, which directly timewarped me to the 90s on the little packed unique dancefloor, with its lights shining under my the dancing feet and the warm bass powering through my shaking (hip teen ;-) body. For the mix, I put together some classic Unique tracks that I remember playing a lot with newer tracks that I think would have played there.

The Unique was located in the old town of düsseldorf in a former animate bar. the walls were covered with 70s plastic fabric, which is normally used for sofas. so the acoustic was very special and the sound was a bit mono - retro and that was absolutley perfect for the musicstyle. People were dancing everywhere in the club. on the way to the bar on the way to the toilet, inside the sofa separees or while waiting at the bar. it was all about dancing and music. Founder and mastermind of unique was Henry Storch, who brought with his crew lots of music and artists from uk, such as Andy Smith (Portishead) Eddie Piller (Acid jazz records) and organized concerts with turntable jazz, erobique, the mobylettes (and so much more!). his project the frank popp ensemble, had a radio hit in 2003 with "hip teens don`t wear blue jeans.", which some of you may know. The Club had to close in 2005 and Henry Storch has died too young in 2018. I hope to meet him once in Freakbeat - sixties soul heaven to thank him for the musical treasure he brought into my life. But the Unique Record Label is still existing and you can still discover great artists and music and there!!

A Tribute to Unique Club

Don't be fooled by the name, this is a groove heavy Nu-Disco selection dripping in Funk and prone to veering off in odd trajectories to keep the listener on their toes. A nice varied selection that does have some unabashed Jazz flavourings in the mid section (in case anybody tries to invoke the Trade Descriptions Act) 

Noice!

A grizzled veteran with a wealth of experience under his belt, FiDRoC was always the go-to guy when you just needed somebody to bang out the jams and get the party started. Now, after a lengthy hiatus, our weary protagonist has sniffed the air and sensed that the time is right to dust off his headphones and step out into the fray once more.

Edited highlights include a stint as the tour DJ for Manchester based chart botherers Mint Royale which took me the length and breadth of the UK and included a number of prestigious Festival slots. Besides holding down multiple residencies and making countless guest appearances in and around Manchester, I also got to crank it up in many legendary (and sadly missed) venues / events such as Sankeys Soap, Music Box and D-Percussion. Pirate Radio? Yep, I also played a part in polluting the airwaves in a series of illicit broadcasts transmitting from a Moss Side tower block.

I also maintained a long running monthly residency at the Light Bar in Shoreditch which regularly saw me hammering out 6 hour sets to wildly eclectic crowds.

Welcome to my SoundCloud page. My tracks are mostly highlighting my bass playing. I also play guitar, ukelele, some keyboard, sing, and whistle. Thanks for checking out the tunes.

My musical influences lie in the big beaty 90s, dancing to Acid Jazz, 60s and Northern Soul (my top favourite style!!!!), funky Breaks and French house. In the early 2000s in Berlin I discovered soul and funk in electronic dance music. At a legendary b2b set with ZIP (Perlon) and Matthew Herbert in CDV "Club der Visionäre". I love funky fluffy minimal house! I like to play multigenre and all styles. I also love odd things like the Hammond organ cover by Klaus Wunderlich (here I digitized "Uraltedelschnulzen") or MoogCookbook and last but not least the Jazz- Comedy universe of Helge Schneider.:)!

I have played and loved jazz since the 1960's and now love to share my music with others.
