Month of Dresden Week 1: Kongkast # 169 – feat. T.Low Rock (Buschfunk.org / Dresden, Germany)

Check this out, as we continue our expedition through the German bass music landscape, we have created a theme within a theme! 🙂

For the month of June, KONGKAST presents to you a very special series on a very special city – DRESDEN! Our “MONTH OF DRESDEN” features 5 exclusive mixes from DJs/crews, representing this city’s sound.  First in the series is a well-respected all-round deejay T.Low Rock, co-founder of the infamous Buschfunk Radio Show. 

Not long after discovering his love for music at the age of 13, T.Low Rock started his deejaying career with tape decks at school parties. This was around the year 1989, marking the late GDR days in East Germany (for a bit of history: there once was a huge concrete wall dividing Gemany). Throughout the many years, T.Low Rock has been influenced by lots of different genres from Old School Electro, Rap, Hip Hop and early Breakbeat, to Funk and Soul, later in the 90’s Downbeat, Jungle and Drum’n’Bass. With such diverse interests and influences since his early music days, T.Low Rock took to the airwaves and started his own Radio Show “Buschfunk” alongside good friends and Dresden Music Figures STUDIO17 and ARND, almost 20 years ago.

It’s a great pleasure to have T.Low Rock on KONGKAST. We are pretty sure you’ll enjoy his selection!

Words from T.Low Rock:

“I started listening to music when I was about 13 – which was somewhere around the year 1986. It was very hard for us Eastern German kids (or officially called the “GDR”) to collect music. At that time I recorded lots and lots of Hip Hop and 80’s stuff from the radio. There was only one very good youth radio station called DT64 that was broadcasted all over the republic. Somehow I started to play some music with tape decks on school parties around the year 1989.
When the wall went down I started to build my own record collection and DJing with lots of Old School Electro, Rap, Hip Hop and early Breakbeat, some Funk and Soul, later in the 90’s there was of course Downbeat, Jungle and Drum’n’Bass. In the early 2000’s I lost my interest into Drum’n’Bass because for me there was very little development. That’s when I started listening to IDM and Electronica. My favorite label back then was MERCK Records from Miami, FL. But when Dubstep came up around 2005 here in Germany I was really flashed. This brought me back to Drum’nBass, I’m a bigbig fan of Drumfunk and Breakbeat but I also like the Halfstep and Autonomic sound.
Today I still love to play all the stuff I collected over the years like Old School Electro, 80’s Rap or Latin Freestyle but also Electronica, 90’s Downbeat or Dubstep from the 2000’s.
Together with some friends I run a radio show called “Buschfunk” since 1993. Our website is http://www.buschfunk.org – the latest shows you can find under http://soundcloud.com/buschfunk ”

We continue our expedition through the German bass music landscape. This week on KONGKAST, we have invited a well-respected Drum & Bass DJ and MC combination from Leipzig – AUDITE & MC AMON (Boundless Beatz).

Audite is no stranger to the German Drum & Bass scene. With a long history in supporting and promoting Drum & Bass and Dubstep across the Republic, he has firmly claimed his place as a bass music ‘institution’. As a promoter, Audite continuously pushes his monthly event “Boundless Beatz”, showcasing a diverse sound in the city of Leipzig. With his DJ sets, he loves taking his audiences on a very special journey which also reflects in specially themed studio sets.

MC Amon has been seen performing across Europe alongside names like DJ Storm, Doc Scott, Marcus Intalex, Calibre and S.P.Y. to name a few. He is currently teaming up with the (Kju:bi) Crew to create some fresh new tunes, and lends his skills to this KONGKAST mix.

This week on KONGKAST, we have an exclusive mix from Andy Skopes (Utopia Music, Uncertified Music, Jerona Fruits, Liquid V / UK).

Having being introduced to his name back in 2006 by the Utopia Music label, with a release which was later made free download called “In The Raw” <Download HERE> , we familiarized ourselves with Andy’s music through out the years.
With releases such as “Jah Jah Man” on the “We Fear Change EP” on Uncertified Music (2009), as well as the “Call To Arms” featuring Mr. Joseph, but the one that really stood out is from his latest release on Utopia Music (UM006) “Distance From You / Reading By The White Lake”, which we think is truly one of the best release from 2011.

While you’re here, check out his SoundCloud for a Free Download of one of his unreleased tunes.
