KURD MAVERICK & DIRTY SOUTH LIVE & DIRECT - OUT NOW!
Kurd Maverick drops you straight into CD2 with the brilliant ‘The Bump’ from Hook n Sling & Kid Kenobi, perfectly setting the pace for this superlative house outing. Jaymen twist up a classic with their bouncing summer take on ‘Ooh La Lishious’ which bounds straight into an album exclusive and Kurd’s very own ‘Strings of Tortuga’, taking no prisoners with its infectious bass line. Tim Deluxe employs the vocal talent of Audio Bully Simon Franks for the resounding ‘Let The Beats Roll’ with Mr Maverick stepping in for remix duties. Nicole Otero keeps it soaring with the ‘Sunshine Song’ and Kurd contributes his second instalment taking things deeper with ‘The Rub’. The Swedes are back at 10 as Angello and Ingrosso spice things up with a latino influenced instrumental ‘Umbrella’. Maverick returns with his driving ‘Let’s Work’ onslaught before Steve Mac v Mosquito Feat. Steve Smith round things off with the super sassy floor filler ‘Lovin’ You More’, naturally with a Kurd Maverick kick!

From a very early age Gian loved music, playing several music instruments and having a good ear for music - that's why he found his way to a well-known Turkish/Kurdish group at the age of 15.
He soon proved himself to be not only an excellent musician but also a good entertainer. His first contact with the "Djing" was in 1997 when a friend introduced him to the wheels of steel. He was really fascinated with the almost infinite sound structures which he could obtain by two turntables and mixers and soon decided to get deeper into this high art of presenting.
From this time Gian dabbled in all genres of electronic dance music and in the end he found his true love to be house music. In the following years he worked incessantly on his sets. It was not enough for him to work with record players and mixers, so he created with the help of different effect devices and continuous loop his own creations of the biggest clubland tracks.
His work paid off! He tested his new sounds out at the Noh club in Duesseldorf. After this successful acid test further bookings followed in the most popular clubs of our republic and finally he got an offer as a resident in the Bungalow Club. Together with DJ mega stars such as Todd Terry, Erick Morillo, AVH, Sandy Rivera, Bob Sinclar, George Morel, Timo Maas, Mousse T, Tom Novy, Harry Romero and many more, he rocked the clubs of "Disco-Germany".
