THIS IS A PAGE ABOUT MUSIC, MUSIC & MUSIC!
What interests me in music, what makes me tick?
From songs about a broken heart to overwhelming happiness, daily circumstances, from the split up of a deep hearted relationship to the butterflies about someone new!!
That can be from a small, not well known, band but also a big name.
The most important aspect to me are the lyrics (not only the words as such,but the meaning behind), the atmosphere, the mood, but also the arrangement/choice of instruments & sometimes even something catchy like whistling in a chorus or tap dancing instead of a drum.
So Far So Good. . .

About me: A German guy, living in Bristol, got tired one day of playing his favorite songs only
to his girlfriend & himself in his living room.
What could he do??
Are there any other people in the city who'd share his musical taste?
Would they feel the same, getting tired of listening to their favorite songs only under headphones
walking the streets and when at home?
Would they love to have a favorite venue or DJ in their city to enjoy themselves?
Only to go to Pubs & Clubs for a binge?? That ain't good enough!
So he took his decks and walked out the door to play the soundtrack of your night!
SINCE HE's THE RESIDENT DJ AT THE SECRET GARDEN EVENT IN BRISTOL,
PEOPLE KEEP COMING UP, ASKING WHETHER HE CAN DJ AT THEIR GIGS
TO SUPPORT THE BANDS PEOPLE PUT ON SOMEWHERE OR
FOR THEIR OWN HOUSE PARTIES.
FURTHERMORE MePlusYOU IS ORGANIZING A TOUR FOR THE GERMAN SHOEGAZE BAND MALORY, WHO WILL COME TO THE UK TO PROMOTE THEIR 4TH ALBUM "PEARL DIVER" IN OCTOBER.
