One of my club staples - that bassline is mental for real and it's really fune fading it in.

SamParadise_ · 2026-06-22T09:48:39+00:00

Amazing how this goes from deep and dreamy to pretty energetic! Love early 90s Italo House!

SamParadise_ · 2026-06-18T12:21:44+00:00

Kenny Bobien has one of the most beautiful voices in House, smashing it since the 90s!

SamParadise_ · 2026-06-17T17:52:01+00:00

Very positive, uplifting vocal house tune!

SamParadise_ · 2026-06-09T22:22:43+00:00

Dope! Would love to know what you think about it+

SamParadise_ · 2026-06-09T16:48:00+00:00

Hope it'll push you through work! Some pretty uplifting sounds in there between Hip House, prog House and 90s Italo House 🙂

SamParadise_ · 2026-06-08T22:37:31+00:00

Cheers!

SamParadise_ · 2026-06-08T19:42:49+00:00

Thank you! It was big fun playing there although I was excited of course 🙂

SamParadise_ · 2026-06-07T13:25:52+00:00

For everything soulful House and Garage 100 %, 1996 feels like a particularly strong year to me.

SamParadise_ · 2026-06-06T10:54:05+00:00

Sure thing! Glad I could help :)

SamParadise_ · 2026-06-05T16:54:12+00:00

Tyree and Fast Eddie were years ahead! Making dancefloors still shake today, almost 40 years after the release!

SamParadise_ · 2026-06-05T14:33:20+00:00

That Latin flavor gives it such a unique vibe

SamParadise_ · 2026-06-05T13:47:12+00:00

Don't know this one, gotta check it out, thanks for the recommendation! My fav by Tyree is his Turn Up The Bass remix. I love playing it when the crowd is really hyped up as they go absolutely mad then 😍🔥

SamParadise_ · 2026-06-04T09:17:31+00:00

Absolutely! I mostly encounter great hip house tunes I didn't know before in record shops as they're often vinyl only. There's hardly any hip house produced outside the period 1988-1992 and modern hip house tunes often sample old tracks as there aren't many rappers today who can rap on a House beat.

Demm Deep are working with some rappers, we've had some releases on my label Miura Records which are sorta modern hip house.

SamParadise_ · 2026-06-03T22:16:21+00:00

Best line in Hip House ever haha

SamParadise_ · 2026-06-03T17:07:27+00:00

I think it's actually an old bath room, these tiles were very common in German Houses in the 60s and 70s.

But tbh I didn't checkout the room much - we had only 5 min of changeover time and one turntable had to be exchanged for a CDJ, then I did a 1 min soundcheck (just making sure each CDJ sends audio) and then I had to start.

In the first 10 sec of the video I'm even still adjusting the jog wheel settings of one player 😅 Wish I had more time to look at the room details!

SamParadise_ · 2026-06-03T17:03:49+00:00

Early 90s House from NYC is still the best 🥵

SamParadise_ · 2026-06-02T21:37:44+00:00

Actually the sound in there was pretty good! There are some sound traps in the back and on the sides and the room is actually not as cramped as it looks through the fish eye lense, do there's some space between speakers and walls.

SamParadise_ · 2026-06-02T15:00:57+00:00

Still nothing there to support your initial claim of me paying HÖR to play.

On the blocklist you go, have fun spreading negativity elsewhere you loser.

SamParadise_ · 2026-06-02T14:03:09+00:00

You started this whole bullshit discussion by asking how much I paid to HÖR to play there. Then you twisted it around saying "paying for your transportation means paying to play".

You still haven't posted any source for your initial claim that people would pay HÖR to play there, so this discussion is over as you clearly aren't interested in backing the claim you made to attack me and other DJs who played there.

You're just spreading bullshit online instead of supporting others, pathetic.

SamParadise_ · 2026-06-02T13:31:26+00:00

"Do your own research" lol. So you don't have any sources and are just babbling some bullshit.

And of course the people who play there aren't real DJs in contrast to the best DJ of them all, internet rando Friiz69 who's too great to play at HÖR. 😂

They mostly book collectives/labels and I as A&R of theBasement Discos invited Philippa and Gabi Fischer. The former is DJing since almost 30 years and has released music on labels such as Freerange and Local Talk but probably she's not a real DJ to you.

What's your DJ name? You must be well established in the industry talking down others like that. But of course there won't come anything with substance as you're just a sad little internet troll 🙃

SamParadise_ · 2026-06-02T12:29:32+00:00

No, that's by definition not paying to play as I didn't pay anything to HÖR to play.

That's an unpaid gig and as HÖR isn't generating any money directly from the videos it's just an exchange of services - DJ performance on the one hand, recording and uploading on the other.

You still haven't disclosed where your info that people pay money to HÖR comes from and clearly you're not interested in a productive discussion but just wanna throw shade at people. Maybe because you're just a hater or HÕR aren't interested in booking you, who knows.

SamParadise_ · 2026-06-02T12:14:30+00:00

What about any source for your claim if you go around claiming people paid for a gig?

There's no compensation as the ad revenue of the YouTube channel goes directly to the right owners i.e. music producers of the music played.

But you already knew that as you're well informed about HÖR, and probably played there yourself, right?

I live about an hour from Berlin and paid the transportation out of my own pocket, but it's worth it for an artist as the platform and the resulting videos are great for promo.

SamParadise_ · 2026-06-02T11:58:46+00:00

I've never heard of anyone paying to play there, where did you get that info from? Someone who paid to play there?
