Rest in Soulpower: Gedenkparty für den SoulRabbi

In the organizer's words:

On March 21, the small club will become a temple of soul and funk. The guys from Delicious Frequencies and their eternal intern Bob invite you to a soul firework display that they dedicate to their recently deceased DJ friend, the legendary Soul Rabbi. They played with him for the first time 10 years ago. Right from the start, they knew that this was about more than just music.

It was about passion, dedication, the history of soul music, which he experienced first-hand, and the fact that there is the right track for every moment. He showed them what it means to still be on fire for the sound after more than 30 years. It didn't matter how many people were on the dance floor - no bouncers were played here. Every moment at and in front of the turntables is precious, because people came together here and had a good time. That was always the top priority for the Soul Rabbi. Even though the guys from Delicious Frequencies developed stylistically, this philosophy shaped them. It was not uncommon for the Soul Rabbi to be quoted at the plates, reminding people what the sound was actually about: "Whatever happens, always keep it light".

To the Soul Rabbi:

A mullet, an orange jacket, a small flashlight and at least 6 crates of singles. On the crates of records and the jacket, his own logo with the impressive print - "Funkier than God!". That's how most of his soul people knew him. Instead of worrying about transitions, he preferred to search for the right track right up to the last second. It was not unusual for him to put the needle on the record just in time to pierce the brief silence that ensued with an unmistakable primal scream and make the dance floor go wild. He used his little flashlight to find his way in the dark among thousands of singles and liked to chase its beam through the dance floors of small clubs like a strobe light. And when he wasn't at the turntables proclaiming the musical gospel, he was standing outside the door - ready to listen to the worries of the night owls with stoic composure or to unpack one of his legendary anecdotes.

After a short, grueling start in Frankfurt in the 70s, between jazz clubs and the squatter scene, the Soul Rabbi first toured the Netherlands. His DJ career slowly took off there and later took him regularly across Germany, Belgium and Switzerland. He also played in Spain and Portugal with his sound. He played for the really big names. He DJed for James Brown, Marva Whitney, Sharon Jones, Gwen McCrae and many other stars of the scene. For many years, he was the insider tip at the North Sea Jazz Festival in Rotterdam and regularly played at major festivals without ever losing sight of his mission: To "shoot the sound into people's hearts like a lightning bolt" and make them feel good.

He may not be at the turntables this time, but his spirit, his unbreakable love for soul and his always good mood will continue to accompany us. And that's exactly what we want to celebrate with you. Michael wouldn't let anything or anyone spoil the party. So come in large numbers and bring a good mood to light a fire together for your favorite DJ's favorite DJ.

To Delicious Frequencies:

Your favorite local DJ crew, consisting of Thelonious Mark and Black Friction have been DJing together for over ten years. They have thrown legendary parties such as "LET ME KNOW" at Oma Doris and "SO FINE" at Großmarktschänke. When they weren't making the local dancefloors unsafe, they were at festivals like Dockville in Hamburg or Juicy Beats, heating up the crowd with their sound.

This time, however, in honor of the Soul Rabbi, they are diving even deeper into the grooviest corners of their record cosmos. Get ready for a soul fire that will get your hips moving!

To Bob:

The favorite practitioner of your favorite DJs, seems to be caught in a time warp and has been playing the same 200 records for 10 years. All real party bangers. If you really know the track, you can call him Bob, otherwise please call him Mr. Bob. But don't be fooled by his intern status - behind the decks, the boy quickly becomes a fire hazard.
