A half hour super quadro pop show I made for friends of sound. Nothing really special or rare, but some good music I think.

Give a motherfucker time to listen to that shit, hus.
I wish I could do a mix. But my mixing skills suck badly! I might practice a bit and contribute a 5 song mix...
Nice one spc. I already listened to it. It's featured on your wesite. There's Captain Future in it, right? Is there an original vinyl release of Bruhn's sountrack?

The track is from a Niagara LP, but I have to look it up, can't remember which one. Captain Future was in the Adventures In Funk mix. There is an original Timm Tahler OST on vinyl, but I only got the reissue. Two times I got it snapped away right in front of my eyes, I guess it just shouldn't happen for me
As for the mixing, I did it all with a pc in Mackie Tracktion, I can work more precise and detailed with multitracking than with two turntables and a fader.
That??s some dope stuff!
Appreciated.

Oh damn! I found the Niagara two weeks ago! I should know better!!!!
Tim Thaler! My girlfriends dad has a copy. I don't like it that much though!
Nice nice nice! spc rules!
The mix is put together nicely but it also shows that a lot of those hyped German breaks/music is not really deep. That whole Schulm??dchen Sexploitation thing is cheesy listening to me. German music is not funky per se and most of it doesn't has soul. The raer moments when it feels funky or soulful often happened by accident. I'm not hating on German breaks. There's good stuff with no doubt. But I grew up in the Seventies and the music at my house was Schlager and James Last. That means I can get very nostagic about some of these songs but at the same time I remember first hand how awful 99% of it were. I remember when I bought my first Sly & The Family Stone best of album. Some of the songs like "Sing A Simple Song" sounded familar to me but i had no idea why. When I started checking for German breaks I found out why: James Last. But I don't like James Last better now, I think I dislike him even more.
One question: where's the guy from who actually did this mix? The spoken word stuff from Schulm??dchen report is put together too well for not native-speaker.
Don't get me wrong (you don't have to start listing German records that are good..) I like me some German raers but i think you have to put things in perspective too.
Ilja Richter, the host of the most influential music tv show of my youth "Disco 70-78" (the name changed with every year)
I used to have a crush on Katja Ebstein
Olski,
I feel the same way about Australian/New Zealand records these days. Sure, I'm Australian, I love the shit, I still hunt for the raer obscure stuff and collect it, but only because it's from my country and to document it, not really for a everyday listening experience... basically, when you put 90% of it up against the run-of-the-mill soul or funk or jazz records from the US, it just doesn't cut it, cheesy springs to mind, sometimes it's unlistenable, only cool cuz it's Australian... 10% of it is ILL though... Arena, Dr. Tree, Jackie Orczasky, John Sangster "Joker Is Wild"... + for drums; Ariel, Daly Wilson, etc. are heat...
peace.
I know what you mean, I didn't do the mix to represent german funk/soul/jazz/whatever, just some good music for the listener.
I'm from Germany, that explains the spoken word stuff
I think the german "way of funk" is a bit more twisted and, as you said, not per se funky and soulful as you know it from US artists. The best stuff for me is the weird library stuff, with lots of synth and crazy sounds, that's also for my ears perhaps the european sound.
