A bit rough around the edges at times, some skips … but hey! These are OFTEN played little 7inch records! Enjoy!

In times like these one is happy to have some soothing sounds on hand - here they are, enjoy while you're home again …

Home again …

What looks like contemplating what to drink next (or not …) is actually yours truly »DJ Weller in deep concentration«. The picture was taken by IMA staff member and fellow DJ Michèl Dion Baltin at BAR SHUKA's backroom setting for their 3rd »IMA Clique Sound Stream« on April 4th 2020 - thanks for the pic, thanks for having and hosting me to Michèl, Chris and the whole IMA Clique!

I had fun deejaying for you LIVE on FACEBOOK & INSTAGRAM and I hope you'll have fun too when listening back to these (hopefully) uplifting tunes!

Peace!

IMA Clique Sound Stream w/ Weller | 02.04.2020

… dis one doesn't start with »real dub« music I have to admit … yet there's some mighty dubby tunes later on that I think will live up to the title. Recorded 10 years ago I was happy to get hold of a copy I started to give out as a gift back then. Now I hope that »the music just turns you on!«

A DJ for more than 30 years Matthias WesterWeller aka Weller is a hallmark of excellence. Yet he is a DJ who's »different«. Maybe because he's not specified and uses his wide range of musical genres to mix the old with the new. Also because he knows how to create an atmosphere which takes you on a musical journey full of exciting coherences.
