Booty Carrell

Das sagt der/die Künstler:in:

„Vom legendären Hamburger Golden Pudel Club über Pakistan zum Programm der Münchner Kammerspiele: Der DJ, Musikvermittler und Veranstalter Sebastian Reier aka Booty Carrell wandert auf seiner Reise durch die musikalischen Weiten dieses Planeten durch Länder, Genres und verschiedene Veranstaltungsformen“ (Süddeutsche Zeitung). Der selbsternannte Vinylarchäologe und Türkoholiker bringt weltweit »Minority Pop« auf die Tanzflächen: Tourneen und Auftritte führten ihn nach Thailand, Pakistan, in die Türkei und quer durch Europa. Als Kurator und Produzent von Musikprogrammen war er unter anderem für „New Hamburg” in Kooperation mit dem Deutschen Schauspielhaus und die Architekturbiennale Venedig tätig. Zudem arbeitet er als Autor und Radiomacher, unter anderem für DIE ZEIT, den WDR und ByteFM. »Making Global Sound Local« lautet der Slogan seiner DJ Crew B-Music. Er dreht Platten und Soundtracks aus der Türkei, dem Iran, Libanon, Israel, Syrien, Indien, Pakistan, aber auch Frankreich und Süddoyçland. Alle höchst tanzbar!

Booty Carrell is the DJ alias of Vinyl archaeologist, Golden Pudel resident and outernational deejay Sebastian Reier. Carrell does his research in the deep spaces of the vinyl universe. He digs into the second wave of musical globalization. And he sets off where musicians around the world have started to melt regional traditions with a western gesture. Be it in Turkey, Iran, Romania, Pakistan, France or even Germany — Carrell is known to deliver minority pop and neglected world hits that can turn the world upside down. But first they'll make you dance! “Making Global Sound Local” is the slogan of his DJ crew B-Music that can be found around Andy Votel and Doug Shipton‘s record label Finders Keepers. For years, Booty Carrell has been keeping the dancefloors in Europe burning and catering music in the Hamburg-based record store Groove City. His show Groovie Shizzl is broadcasted bi-weekly on the internet radio station ByteFM. Since September 2020 he is working as music director at Münchner Kammerspiele in Munich, Germany.

»Booty Carrell is a vinyl archaeologist, an outernational DJ who is known for his efforts towards reviving neglected world hits, an effort that has had a huge impact in the past. It appears that the role of the DJ is undergoing a change. Instead of just playing recorded music, it seems that now the scope is being widened. His work is now more than just his choice of music to be played; it is the sequencing, the selection and then what everyone in that particular group can be best entertained with, the improvisational ability as to what to play, which may not have been scripted beforehand but can be only done by reliance on instinctual responses.«
