Long before serving party people a soulful soundtrack from behind the decks, Selektor Mendes has been keen on collecting records in the diverse and vital spectrum of Black Music. After skimming most of the venues in his hometown Rotterdam and accompanying a dozen Dutch funk and jazz acts on the road, Selektor Mendes soon teamed-up with the late DJ Soul Rabbi, resulting in a annual gig at the renowned North Sea Jazz Festival. As a disciple of this legendary Soulbrother, Selektor Mendes passionately continues the wonderful mission of Love, Peace & Happiness by spinning vinyl.
