A WORD BY FRESH HERBS
It´s been an exciting journey into music so far! And everything was set off by my brothers. It was their record collection where I first caught the vinyl bug. Decades later it was Jose, one of my best pals from teenage years, who gave me De La Remix as a birthday present around 1990. Since then there has been no holding back. Spurred by the likes of Austrian music ambassadors Werner Geier aka Demon Flowers, DJ DSL & Katharina Weingartner the quest was on for all these uncountable funky originals often sampled in late 80s and early 90s Hip-Hop.
Fast forward into 2010
After a 3-year professional stint in London I returned to Salzburg only to realise that the city´s nightlife still hasn´t much to offer. Coincidentally, an article in the local newspaper enlightened me that local vintage furniture shop JETLAG also stores vinyl.
It was love at first sight.
The interior, the owner Wolfgang aka D.RAX and our mutual love for groove-orientated music, beats & life.
Hence, we decided to revitalise a one-off DJ session he had already called CLUB ANALOG. The deal was: I bring the music, he serves the drinks. And we all together enjoy an evening with our friends. That was the birth of CLUB ANALOG more than a decade ago.
Since then we´ve met so many like-minded DJs
– bedroom & professionals –
who we are more than grateful to call part of the
CLUB ANALOG DJ CREW aka FRESH HERBS & THE GET-FRESH CREW.
This crew is an ever expanding band of beatheadz all with one common denominator – FUNK:
Cosmic
Dan The Man
Etienne Sangita
Fresh Herbs
Ill:Behaviour
Kinski
Shakewell
Swifty
Therefore, kudos to my mate & Upper-Austrian black music pope and beatdoctor Martin Duftschmid aka DJ Swifty and to my fellow headz Cosmic, Etienne Sangita, Kinski, Shakewell as well as our Funk family Mel, Dan & Ill:Behaviour of Club101; to Nick who was my first DJ companion at Club Analog; to the Salzburg headz Rollin Röli and Diaz, to extra-golden El Jot; to Mike E., Markus D aus S & Deisi, as well as to countless more for having been early contributors, for their regular visits and steady and selfless support!
A BIG THANKS
to ALL of you sound providers who have relentlessly and gratiously dedicated their time, knowledge & skills to
CLUB ANALOG.
Enuff said, prick your ears and listen.
