Finn Johannsen – Whatever Happened

Posted: June 11th, 2004 | Author: | Filed under: Mixes | Tags: | No Comments »

I really have to ask myself why I recorded so many mixes with old music in this period. Actually I was buying new records all the time. And compared to later phases the early 00s felt less generic and stale. But if I take a look at this playlist a common denominator is funk. I love techno that is funky. Funky basslines, funky grooves, funky ideas. I remember when I started working at Hard Wax a few years later we were hearing the daily news on the store pa, and DJ Pete, with whom I was working with mostly, said about some techno records that there was just not enough music in it. I still think about that regularly. DJ Tools are fine, and needed. But musicality is an important aspect.
