In all those 21 years of dealing with Tim I can`t think of one single problem. At least not when I was on the buying side LOL ! Always found him a very reasonabel, reliable and fair dealer. Must have bought about ten or so items since he is doing auctions as well and also never had a problem. You can always return for a full money back (which I never had the need to do) without any hazzle. One of teh best IMO. Marc

Isn`t there also still Winki and Sunny the Dancer regular night...up all night, up beat or sth like that ? Marc

That one @ Wagenbau is cancelled now. No more nights of Deep Funk there Marc

Thanks for telling so, I was already scratching my head LOL!

not really a bargain then, thanks.

Sold a mint (!) spare for 600 UKP...and that was even before the "credit crunch" Still I believe this price is right.

What was the condition on this, seems like a great bargain ? Marc

Dear Benji, you are not confused at all, you just like to try to shoot your shot at me (as always..although it has become quite predictable and therefore boring over the years). You simply can`t remember me outside Berlin because we didn`t knew each other and you were not even into Rare Soul back in the day. Simple as that. I attended events outside Berlin before you were even told to play your 7" at 45 rpm. I am talking about the scene in England where I deejayed for the very first time 1991. I am talking about Berlin and the rest of Germany and I am talking about Austria where I deejayed somewhere around 1989 for the very first time. It was by the way you along others I had in mind when I wrote "same people who are now collecting R&B" as I can recall it just like it was yesterday when on the old Soul Talk email list about ten years ago you were trying really hard to tell me and everybody else that R&B ain`t Soul at all and that its the last thing you would want to hear at a Soulnight. Marc

Agree, brilliant!

...and I like that funky tune on Essica you posted on Soul Source a few days ago mate Marc

Recommended, my old Dreamteam C/UP. Marc

It is very interesting to see some comparing the current rise of "funky" Rare Soul to the rise of R&B in the mid to late nineties. I think I can safely say that I was amongst the first to play R&B intensively and I still remember the reactions I got for that from most of the people including those who these days collect and play R&B themselves. 10 to 15 years back R&B was a fresh (and because of that needed) new blood injection that sadly was f***ed up because of too many people being annoyed (including me) by all that white popcorn sh**te having been and still getting advertised as R&B. IMO. "Funky" Rare Soul, or say Rare Soul with a funky edge to it has been around since day one as has already been said on here and proven by records like Delrey`s Inc. etc. but it is safe to say that this certain sound has found new friends and has become stronger than ever before on the European Scene (incl. the UK!) over the last eight to ten years. So I am a little bit amazed to see this topic now. Records like Delegates Of Soul along heavily spun "new" Modern discoveries that found their way onto the Northern Dancefloors like Ellipsis etc. made the ground for what these days hopefully will achieve what R&B has failed to do...to fresh things up with new BLACK Soul tunes and to attract also new people, new collectors etc. Its already happening and working all over the place, it will also work in England. If some out of the hundreds of new tunes which will hopefully get played over the next few years will put some people off because to their ears some sound too "funky"...well...it never has been different on this scene has it and I am sure we can live with that. Hopefully. Marc

Can`t name all German events as I simply don`t know them all (doubt anyone does) but of course BAMBERG Ní…"RNBERG HAMBURG AACHEN and FRANKFURT have to be named for their big weekenders. In Berlin we do have the following regular (o.v.o.) nights: HIP CITY SOUL CLUB DOWNTOWN SOULVILLE ALLNIGHTER ROTER SALON ALLNIGHTER NITTY GRITTY CLUB these do play 6ts and Modern Soul furthermore we do have on regular basis SOULKOMBINAT SOUL INN SOUL EXPLOSION TOUR DE FUNK WIR SIND SOUL DIRTY ACTION CLUB SEPAREE which do play Boogaloo, Funk, Deep Funk, R&B and Soul in general. ...plus there are two monthly Skinhead Reggae / Rocksteady nights here in Berlin which do play a bit of Soul inbetween. So you see, quite a lot on offer here in Berlin Marc

Maybe later in the year at Club Function Seriously though, sadly I (still) can`t do RA`s...

Of course not buddy, of course not !

is he ? wow. never realized.

Good man that Thorsten guy is, real good man. Marc

Wonder how and why most name DJ`s way over 29 that already have played some spots here and there (...) when it says young and talented folk ? Still...this is the best marketing plot I have ever seen for a venue..well done ! Marc

Andy D ? One of teh scene`s top dealers, one of the scene`s top DJ`s and collectors and one of the top men anyway Marc

I had the pleasure to be his support DJ at his recent Berlin gig in November...that night he also played a brillinat tune that is intended to be his third 45! Great musician! Knows his stuff and collects himself (mainly Deep)! Marc

Does it these days ? I remember clearing one or two floors with it about ten years ago... In fact three different releases by the way. The one you seem to be after carries a bell sound stamp. Marc

Jeeez...........current spin of mine AND SEEN FOR MORE THEN FOURTIMES AS MUCH

Blimey, did not see this before...some tuff bargains in here
