about
Frank Popp started DJing in 1996 in Duesseldorfs House-Clubs like the legendary Ratinger Hof. At the same time he released his first record - a weird disco-tune called DISCODAMNED NATION, which sold good and helped to get more gigs. After a while he got bored of that non-musical audience and mainly ibizahouse-orientated scene in the rhine area and hosted his own electronic parties at the UNIQUE CLUB once a month on a sunday with nice guests like Michael Mayer, DJ Hell or Ego Express. There he got to know Henry Storch, manager of Unique, and both found out they have a similar record collection and musical background, starting from 60s- Garagepunk, Beat, Soul, RnB, Jazz, Funk to 80s/90s Punkrock and Garage to modern clubsounds and electronica. That was good, because a bit later Popp deejayed also on saturdays at Unique, where it was possible to mix a lot of different styles together - that was exactly what he was looking for. In 1998 he started to host the thursday at unique which was planned to be a 60s/mod-night with northern soul, RnB, hammond groove, Freakbeat and Garage, played by a lot of famous bands and deejays. Some highlights were Brian Auger, Fuzztones, Bobby Hebb or JTQ. It was also time to do a new record since nearly 3 years: Frank Popp created THE FRANK POPP ENSEMBLE, began to produce some tunes for his CATWALK EP, which was released on Unique Records, followed in 2001 by HIP TEENS DONT WEAR BLUE JEANS and his first album RIDE ON. That finally opened the borders
