14.10.2009
Late September saw the passing away of one of the most prominent musical figures of Munich, Georg Bär. Georg Bär was a Disco DJ and record collector who used to play in Munich Clubs since the early 80ies. A guy who always was searching for the new, hot unknown stuff. He introduced us to obscure and cool music from all kinds and corners of the world and has always been a big inspiration. Georg never wanted to make edits, blogs, mixtapes or productions–it was hard to convince him to release this 2-track single back in 2007, co-produced by Ben Mono and Albert Pöschl, which we are now putting up for free download in his honor.

And here’s also a mixtape called “My favorite things”, a very rare document of his eclectic taste and his skills, available here for the first time:

Rest in Peace Schorsch
