Funque Droppings Relaunched
I have recently relaunched Funque Droppings as a net label. All the old releases are available as free mp3 downloads including the ultra hard-to-find 4th release 'Starry Nights' featuring tracks by Pacou, myself and more. Additionally, two new releases by Deadbone and Stanislav Tolkachev are available and there are of course more lined up. Enjoy!
Music as a Propellant
When I started producing and DJ'ing at the tender age of 14, I had no idea where it would take me. I have never thought of it as anything but a hobby, yet, as it turns out, music has always been involved in the twists and turns of my life.
It has taken me to numerous countries; through music i have met most of my friends and it has been an outlet for difficult emotions and frustration since I bought my first stereo when I was 8 years old.
In the past few years, my musical globetrotting has instigated dramatic life changes and challenges far beyond anything I thought I would face in my lifetime. In the summer of 2001 I took a five week trip to Detroit to explore this cradle of the music I love so dearly. While there I met the woman who was to become my wife. Following several months apart, Clarissa moved to Denmark for 5 months and on July 4th 2002 I arrived in my new home town, Detroit, MI, USA. We have since relocated to San Francisco, where, in spite of the hopeless job market, I have found a job that I really like.
When I look back on where and who I was back in the summer of 2001, it seems like it would have been impossible to get to where I am now. The individual obstacles Clarissa and I have overcome to make all this happen seem huge, yet when I think of them as a whole, it seems like they were overcome in an instant.
Now I am about as far from my place of birth as I can get, yet I have never felt more at home.
