Welcome of all junkies of good music !!
I'm a french dj and digger...I start collecting records in 2003... I began to put myself into turntables by listening to the mixtapes of my neighbour's brother, who was DJ. We use to listen to them in his car, and I wondered where he could find all that records which never passed in radio, and especially how he made to mix them! We could tell that His mixtapes was the soundtrack of my years of secondary school ...
He advised me, to begin, to go to the best record dealer of the city at this time (Leitmotiv' Records of course!), thing which I made.
Then, I began to go to these record dealer's three-four times a week, by listening to all who intrigued me at the level of the record's label, the various rappers, I listened to a little all which came to me ... Due to frequenting always the same place, we get on naturally with the salesmen, and the other diggers... We meet ourselves in the same parties in famous pubs of the city, we were (and always at time) organizing "records sessions", we began to exchange each one our record's references...
I begin then to begin going back in the days into music, with the rap of mid-90s, then I jump directly in the rap of the end of the 80's and the also all the disco-rap, then the funk, the jazz-funk,all kind of soundtracks, and then the psychedelic rock...
In parallel, I continue my studies, what prevents me from dedicating more time to the music, but there, in a rise of adrenalin, I left everything to make a podcast with any kind of sound: groove, deep funk,piece of more psychedelic sound, and one or two pop grails... The mix is made very fast,I make it in one shot recording , I hope that you will appreciate this mix as much as I liked making it...
