We heard about DJ Adlib through a compilation from Melting Pot Records and found him via the internet for an exclusive written up interview. Not only is the guy a dope producer, but he's already cut tracks with MED (Stones Throw Records) and an accomplished turntablist.Check him out here at his myspace and read the interview for more.
Where are you originally from?
Cologne/Germany.
What current projects do you have out??
just released a 12"inch on turntable jazz/unique records called spread the message with med plus a ep on alphabet zoo called adlibertine.
What is your current favorite piece of production you recommend people check out?
besides the updated dilla ruffdraft ep i´d go for some giorgia anne muldrow, taraach, black milk or flying lotus.
Which did you do first DJ or production? and which do you prefer?
started out as a scratch/battle/team-dj which led me to do beats and productions for break records. from there on i started to do beats for fun and myself.
i prefer the beats nowadays though i still spin a lot and still have fun with it
What is your production setup?
first "production"-equipment piece i ever bought was the Boss SP-202 Dr. Sample...quickly had to get a mpc2000 after that, which i still use combined with cubase (mainly for all the sequencing now) and logic.
Tell us about the Noisy Stylus Turntablist Band:
4 man dj crew consisting of me, dj tobeyer, dj dynamike & dj tre styles, strarted out 97, won the german team dmc championships 3 times + the itf european and vice world championchips.
Tell us about the Ecler DJ-Academy?
its a dj school here in cologne where im a lecturer. we have courses for all kinda of djs, beginners, advanced, teams aswell as mixing and overall djing classes.
What's your connection with DJ Rafik?
were good friends, share the same taste for beats & music, hes one of my favourite djs and we spin togehther. he got some serious beats aswell!!
How did you originally hook up with MED?
he came over for the spread the message tour we did throughout europe with him, rafik, dr,ben & kut-l.
Where did you learn to dig?
i wouldnt even consider myself a digger since im not that big of a collector. if i did learn to find the type of sound im looking for i guess its the record shop i work at (grooveattack) and good friends and people around me.
What is it like digging for records in Germany (ie; are there many stores, lots of people doing it?)
couple of stores, couple of faries, not too crazy though. more of a fleamarket thing i guess.
Tell us your thoughts on the European hip-hop scene and the German hip-hop scene. (ie; is it still alive and growing?)
german hiphop scence kinda dried out a couple of years ago and got media-wise ressurected by a lot of berlin-style "gangsta"-rap stuff.
besides that there still good groups doing there own thing.
there a good beatmakers throughout whole europe and i think the french been kinda dominating the dj thing lately
Who else is making noise out there (or reccomend people look into)?
dem boogie, danny breaks, dj rafik, mark pritchard, steve spacek, ill dubio, skymark, harry swinger, hubert davis, frank west.
Whats in store for the future of DJ Adlib?
just startet to work on my follow up ep for aplhabet zoo.
shure gonna do some more stuff with turntable jazz.
..guess it just comes down to spinning and making beats...

I don’t usually reply to posts but I will in this case. I’ve been experiencing this very same problem with a new WordPress installation of mine. I’ve spent weeks calibrating and getting it ready when all of a sudden… I cannot delete any content. It’s a workaround that, although isn’t perfect, does the trick so thanks! I really hope this problem gets solved properly asap.
