Andrei, the artist behind The Legendary 1979 Orchestra and the Legendary Sound Research opened his musical soul with a 1 hour trip into his cosmic disco sound (for our Introspections series) and revealed his passion for jazz, funk, hip hop, all pressed on the precious vinyl.

Interview:

Your favourite jazz piece

There are so many! Top of my head right now would be: Johnny Hammond – Tell What To Do

The most valuable non electronic record from your collection

I think that would be Harold Vick – Don’t Look Back on Strata-East, a really funky jazz LP

Your most played hip hop artist

Definitely MF DOOM.

Your inspiration producer when it comes to house music

Mmm I have many here, but let’s say Mad Mike today.

Best record store for crate digging

The most consistent store I go to regularly is Redlight Records in Amsterdam. Always new (old) stock, great music and good pricing! The most fun is at the Utrecht Record fair though, twice a year all the big sellers from around Europe come to one place.
