John Rocca ist in der Geschichtsschreibung tanzbarer Musik immer eine rätselhafte Gestalt geblieben obwohl er mit Freeez Electro nachhaltig einen Pop-Stempel aufdrückte, in der Frühphase von House sporadisch sein Unwesen trieb und dann später als Midi Rain ein paar wunderschöne Hymnen zwischen Rave und Wild Pitch hinterließ. Seitdem ist seine tolle quecksilbrige Stimme verschollen. Als exemplarisch für seine Musik bleibt für mich diese Platte, die später von Carl Craig und Derrick May für Incogdos „Simply Just A Ventage“ zum Dauersuchbegriff des Detroit Techno ausgeweidet wurde. Pop goes my love!
My first appearance at the seminal Betalounge, live at its premises in Hamburg. I was scheduled to play an old school house/disco night in town so I played what I prepared for that. The location was a place were people were usually hanging out in the afternoon before they hit the nightlife, but I had the whole place dancing at some point. I was particularly honoured that many friends and other DJs showed up, including Vienna’s hip hop legend DSL, whom I always really admired.
You really cannot underestimate the impact of the Betalounge. Operating from San Francisco and Hamburg they were the Boiler Room of those days. Just check their vast archive and you will know what I mean.
