Bars & Beats

A record store for hip-hop and rap – and for the stories attached to individual records.

Why a record store

I'm a big hip-hop and rap fan. Which records stand here and what they have to do with me, I'll tell bit by bit.

What shaped me

From my youth: Kool Savas and Sido. In English: Eminem, 50 Cent, Nas. Today I'm a big fan of 187 Strassenbande – especially Bonez MC – and of RAF Camora.

Sound first, then picture

It all started with sound: audio engineering and music production at the SAE Institute in Stuttgart, then eight years self-employed as a sound engineer with Bengel Ton – sound design, audio post for video, audio restoration, recordings.

In my career

  • Bengel Ton – Sound engineer
  • SAE Institute Stuttgart – Diploma in Audio Engineering, then Bachelor's in Music Production (Audio Engineering 2012–2014, Music Production 2014–2015)
