How did you get here? Tried a long long time ago, looking for more than scqkratching messageboarding. Couldn't hang. That shit died, and I felt there was enough crossover to justify trying this place out. Still not sure that was true. Strutters are nice meanies. Gotta be in the right mood.
Sentimental Records: hand-me-down Metallica records (brother), a Peter Herbolzheimer I bought at Groove Merchant, Tim Dog Penicillin on Wax I bought the day it was discussed on here a couple years ago, the first Roots album (can't stand the rest--don't remember buying it), Cenubites ep, pretty much any good record I have
Places you DIG: I've bought less than ten records over the past couple years. Bumming. Need to burn these rap singles and blaze these downtempo LPs so I can go buy some more.
Other interests: chopping it up on the internet, bikes, snowboarding, splitboarding, visiting the skate shop, candy
Rank: Level 15 Manchild

How did you get here? Googling some rekkids. Hopefully one day I'll be able to contribute to this forum also. First I need to step my game up a bit.
Sentimental Records: Vesa-Matti Loiri - 4+20. This homeland record was the record that inspired me to crate diggin'. Back in the days there was only a slight amount of info about this album and it had a huge cloud of mystery around it. Nowadays it has been reissued, but gettin' OG about a year ago was a great moment in my diggin' career. Maybe musically not the most sentimental though.
Places You Dig: Fleamarkets mostly, internet if manage to get some extra money.
Other Interests: Life

Thanks yuichi! This site really has a vast amount of information and I can totally relate to people in here. I have browsed also Waxidermy occasionally, but never really got into that place. To funk loving wannabe dj like me, I always felt cosy here in Soulstrut. I'll try to activate myself here from now on!

Hi Grandi,
Your avatar; Krtek. I just finished watching a 4 disc set with my kids. Absolutely amazing. Pretty much the best thing i have seen in years.
Hi nzshadow! I really love Krtek! My nieces felt love with Krtek first time they saw it. I can really recommend them to anyone. Classic stuff and because they don't speak any spesific language, it's suitable to kids (and adults) around the world. The father of Krtek Zden??k Miler died just a couple of months ago, RIP.
