DOCTOR DRU RELEASE & SMALLVILLE 7YRS
Tonight Hamburg is the place for soul loving house music listeners. First stop of the night will be homebase Baalsaal. My main man Doctor Dru will be there celebrating the release of his first solo record on Exploited’s Black Jukebox Label. His masterpiece “The Voice Of Dru” is gaining already much deserved attention on Beatport and RA. Well done buddy. And if that’s not enough personal favourites and Exploited labelmates Cocolores will be on his left hand side accompanying him through the evening. Check clips benath for some inspiration.
Second stop for the night will be Ego, where Hamburg household Smallville commemorate their 7th birthday with a classy line-up of Chicago House-legend Ron Trent and Frankfurt’s Running Back label owner and electronic music authority Gerd Janson, supported by residents Lawrence and Smallpeople. Running Back is really one of my favourite labels since quite some time, so I’m happy to get Mr. Janson’s set tonight as I missed him @ Pudel last time he was in HH. Looking forward.

And secondly I’m goin to play together with my man Roland B. We have formed the new producer project „Foxes & Okami“. It’s all about discodeephouse and the like.
