Florian Keller bought his first record (Beatles White Album) with 50%
sponsorship by his mother at the age of 5 and somehow never stopped since.

While listening to Curtis Mayfield's "Move On Up" and James Brown's "Sex
Machine" the first time at the age of 10 the virus was caught for what
Florian's world is all about: Funk. It came naturally that Florian always
was the Dj-guy on every school-party and while still following some
head-guided plans to become an Industrial Designer he already found himself
jobbing at the turntables of local Clubs 1986.

In 1991 Florian eventually
gave up his university-studies for the Into Somethin' Clubnight had the
honour to start with Michael Reinboth, the founder of Compost Records and
long time companion Theo Thoennessen.

In 1993 Keller started along with the Poets Of Rhythm founder Jan
Weissenfeldt, the Funk Squad Clubnight wich is (after changing venue soon)
still up and strong at the Atomic Cafe, serving the guests with pure native
Funk

In 2003 due to the urgently growing interest in Boogie, Discorap and the
solid output of high quality new releases Florian started the Party-Keller
Clubnight, which you might imagine as the more modern-oriented,
Block-Party-Style version of Funk Squad.

Although Florian has one of the World's important collections of rare Funk
45's the focus in his Dj-sets is exactely Funk but with broader horizon,
including all kind of aspects that time brought and brings in the field: no
matter if instrumental, if one sings or raps. No matter if a band tried to
sound like James Brown in 1968 or if a guy in his bedroom-studio does
today – even without knowing it. The point is to overcome all that cliches
like brainless guys with baseballcaps in expensive cars are standing for
Hip Hop, a Funk Party means Sex Machine and Aretha Franklin's Respect or
alternatively: a room full of nerds listening to awful rare but sometimes
also awful bad records. Away from the narrow-minded view like people thinking
that (quality) Drum & Bass which is nothing but double time Hip Hop and even
(quality) Hip Hop which is basically sampled Funk wouldn't be Funk. It is not
about stuffing people with only what they know as it is not ignoring the spirit
of a good party - It only is about: Good Music!
