At last, but not least a cool story behind the video: A comment from
Mijk van Dijk I received:
UNIT Hamburg was the first club I ever DJed in public back in 1992. The late Gary D. (R.i.P.) asked me to play at his night at Unit when he met me shopping vinyl for my radioshow “House Arrest” on now discontinued #rockradiob at Container Records Store. First I meant to tell him that I’ve never DJed in a Club before but then I just went there, played for an hour and everybody loved it.
So peeps: dare to take opportunities when they come to you.
This video is non commercial, just to keep the fabulous time in our mind and remember the beginning of Techno in Hamburg, have fun ...
