Schaffhäuser’s motto at the turntables is: Purism sucks! The quality of the music is what’s important, not sheer functionality and a perfect mix. That is: at times his sets can be rather varied from Ware-style music to thumping techno. His current favourites still come from labels such as Cargo Edition, Cadenza, Mobilee, Vakant, Circus Company – just to name a few. Read more on Last.fm.
