After dropping some serious euros on records whilst recently in Berlin, on the flight home we had a brain wave. In a musically inspiring city like the German capital, with all these top DJs buying tunes for their gigs every week, who are the behind the scenes guys who stock the shelves? The guys whose taste so influences our scene. This podcast starts a new mini collection within the Louche Podcast series, a selection of mixes created by dudes who work in record shops around the globe.
First up, Hard Wax Berlin’s House and Disco specialist Finn Johannsen. Working there since 2010, but cutting his teeth before then as a DJ, label owner and music journalist, Finn’s knowledge and taste in the music we love is second to none. Buying in tunes from distributors which are in turn bought by music enthusiasts, DJs or whoever else; Finn’s selections help shape the city’s musical climate. This mix, as you would expect, is sheer class; rolling from house to techno to a bit of proper old electro with consummate ease. Make sure you check Finn’s new Louche Interview to support this podcast to learn more about the guy. Finn Johannsen and the others record shop buyers out there, we salute you!

I would not claim to be an expert with dub and reggae, but I always liked it. While I was working at Hard Wax we played on the store PA all the time. I was getting good advice from Mark Ernestus, Christoph Grote-Beverborg and of course DJ Hops and bought a lot of records in that field. But I did not really play it in clubs. So when DJ Fett Burger approached me to contribute to his Trushmix series we agreed it would be a good idea to do something with hit, and it became a ten part series that was really popular. I once played at Charlie club in Munich and they were using my mixes for the soundcheck. I thought that was quite a compliment. It was a bit weird that these mixes were more loved than other mixes with music I was more knowledgeable with, but hey.
