Plattenschau #3 - Unlimited Funk

LP (1982) JPLL Records

Wat ne Kiste! Stop is truly a funkasizin toast to the B.O.O.G.I.E.! We picked the title track Stop and Betcha Dance but almost every song on this tough to find release is a floorfillin winner. On their third and last album les Français bring us strictly positive vibrations packed into uptempo jams with a booty-grabbin' attitude.
Betcha dance?

Plattenschau #2 - Curtain Up

7" (1974)

Give it up for Klaus the Baus, one of the topnotch soul singers from the "Zone"(GDR).
Actually known as MSBs front singer, he released this absolutely mind-blowing SoloSoulShaker in '74, melting elements of Rock, Soul, Funk and Blues to a unique masterpiece. But what makes the record even more impressive is the message of the song: Never lose your own fantasy, even if the circumstances aren't predestinated to express yourself. The MSB debut LP also features an audiolicious live version of the song. 

"Tanz wie Du willst, aber tanze, tanze, tanze!" 

R.I.P.

Plattenschau #1 - A National Rappin Anthem


Spyder-D - Big Apple Rappin (12"), 1980

Wir machen was los Leute! The first Plattenschau is dedicated to a smooth, disco-funk, synth-driven rappin report from Spyder-D about the Big Apple.  Spyder is probably the first MC who released an independent release on his own label Newtroit Records.
The needle leaves the groove after 10 minutes of greatness. But in the mean time and between time Spyder takes it in turns with a dynomite synth-attack.

Da Sind Wa - It's A World Premiere

Alright you Freaks, Boogie Friends & Fiends, European Rare Groove Crateateers, Beatmakers, Modern Funk Aesthetics, Vinylogists and good lookin Party People on the Floor: 

Free your mind for DAS ZÜNDET – a new melting pot of good music, created by a funky bunch of characters out of Berlin who grew up together and still share nothin but the love for music. Everyone of us has somehow specialized into certain genres – but in the end everything is on the one. 

On board we have the Producers, Discjockeys, Collectors and Music Lovers Klaus Layer, Toni Clarke, Diskohengst Shizlaweng, Will Spliff, Achim Funk, Carl Edit and Aaron Habits who on the one side will present to you firing Beats, no matter if psychedelic-inspired, soulful-flavoured, heavy synth'n'bass-driven or just funky as hell like your socks after one of their live shows.
Furthermore we will satisfy your needs for Rare-Vinyl-Mixes, Podcasts, Reviews and whatever else we think could be of importance to nationalize the Groove.

Ahh, and if you're wondering what DAS ZÜNDET means, its may best described as the moment when a baad slammin funk jam hits your booty and you know its time to bust a move.

Frieden.
