In 1996 I founded the infamous NYC sleazefest Vampyros Lesbos at Bar XVI in the East Village that lasted for 4 years. In 2000 I moved to Berlin where I launched the Soul Explosion, a night fueled by hard-hitting Funk 45s that soon became the most serious Deep Funk party on the European mainland. 2005 I turned the Soul Explosion over to my friend King Dynamite who's still running this event today.
In July 2005 I embarked on a 3 year long, intense record digging road trip all over West Africa. On extensive travels through Guinea, Sierra Leone, Ghana and Benin, I found thousands of rare and astonishing records from the 1970s. Not only did I uncover uncountable Afrobeat and African Funk records but also loads of smoking Afro Latin, Deep Highlife and blistering Nigerian Disco. August of 2008, I returned to NYC.
