A WORD BY FRESH HERBS
It´s been an exciting journey into music so far! And everything was set off by my brothers. It was their record collection where I first caught the vinyl bug. Decades later it was Jose, one of my best pals from teenage years, who gave me De La Remix as a birthday present around 1990. Since then there has been no holding back. Spurred by the likes of Austrian music ambassadors Werner Geier aka Demon Flowers, DJ DSL & Katharina Weingartner the quest was on for all these uncountable funky originals often sampled in late 80s and early 90s Hip-Hop.
Fast forward into 2010
After a 3-year professional stint in London I returned to Salzburg only to realise that the city´s nightlife still hasn´t much to offer. Coincidentally, an article in the local newspaper enlightened me that local vintage furniture shop JETLAG also stores vinyl.
It was love at first sight: The interior, the owner Wolfgang aka D.RAX and our mutual love for groove-orientated music, beats & life.
Hence, we decided to revitalise a one-off DJ session he had already called CLUB ANALOG. The deal was: I bring the music, he serves the drinks. And we all together enjoy an evening with our friends. That was the birth of CLUB ANALOG more than a decade ago.
Since then we´ve met so many like-minded DJs
– bedroom & professionals –
who we are more than grateful to call part of the
CLUB ANALOG DJ CREW aka FRESH HERBS & THE GET-FRESH CREW.
This crew is an ever expanding band of beatheadz all with one common denominator – FUNK:
Cosmic
Dan The Man
Etienne Sangita
Fresh Herbs
Ill:Behaviour
Kinski
Shakewell
Swifty
Therefore, kudos to my mate & Upper-Austrian black music pope and beatdoctor Martin Duftschmid aka DJ Swifty and to my fellow headz Cosmic, Etienne Sangita, Kinski, Shakewell as well as our Funk family Mel, Dan & Ill:Behaviour of Club101; to Nick who was my first DJ companion at Club Analog; to the Salzburg headz Rollin Röli and Diaz, to extra-golden El Jot; to Mike E., Markus D aus S & Deisi, as well as to countless more for having been early contributors, for their regular visits and steady and selfless support!
A BIG THANKS

Enuff said, prick your ears and listen.
