Hello,

after 40 years playing vinyls in locations in and around #bielefeld far more than 200 gigs, I keep records where I played, here on musicworld.social.

However, I ended doing so sometime ago, handing over the controls to the new generation(s); might be that I reappear if I can feel that.

Or, in other words (of the (G)olden Pudel Club): "this doesn´t have to go on. that´s why it does. knospt."

Album cover for 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐛𝐲 𝐃𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐏𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐬. The artwork features a glowing futuristic ceiling with bright yellow-orange light trails crisscrossing like a global network, forming an abstract eye in the center. A faint map of the world is visible behind the lines, giving the impression of worldwide connectivity. At the bottom of the image, the three members of Dilated Peoples stand silhouetted against a curved balcony, looking up at the illuminated display above them. The title DILATED PEOPLES EXPANSION TEAM appears at the top in bold white and orange lettering, emphasizing a sense of vision, movement, and global reach.

Album cover for 𝐖𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐂𝐨𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐀𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐛𝐲 𝐃𝐞𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐤𝐲 𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐞𝐧. The artwork is hand-painted in a graffiti-inspired, psychedelic street art style. At the center, a stern-faced figure resembling Del holds a microphone that doubles as a gun, with his other hand throwing up a rock hand sign. Bright orange graffiti letters spell out “DEL” across the middle, while a skull, police cars, and urban buildings surround him. In the background, a woman with an afro, a samurai-sword-wielding character, and floating futuristic elements create a chaotic but colorful scene. The words Avengers West Coast are written boldly in orange at the top, blending comic book aesthetics with hip-hop rebellion.

Album cover for 𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐤 𝐌𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐲 𝐃𝐞𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐤𝐲 𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐞𝐧. The artwork is a bold, cartoon-style illustration bursting with color. Del is depicted in a dynamic, exaggerated form with multiple arms reaching out to control various instruments and DJ equipment — a keyboard, turntables, speakers, and a huge retro microphone labeled “FUNKMAN.” Behind him, a surreal background of red, blue, and yellow swirls emphasizes the chaotic funk energy. His cartoon face, with a golden headwrap and mischievous grin, dominates the center, symbolizing creativity, funk, and hip-hop mastery.

The album cover for Done by the 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐛𝐲 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞 𝐁𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬 is a vivid, surreal collage blending Afrofuturism, nature, and cosmic imagery. In the foreground, large illustrated portraits of the three group members emerge from lush green foliage, alongside a lion and a camel. A mystical stone archway with a silhouetted human figure stands at the center, symbolizing a passage or awakening. Above and around them, a woman with butterfly wings floats over a glowing urban skyline, while two tall skyscrapers stand illuminated against a radiant orange-red sky. The background merges cityscape with celestial elements—planets, stars, and a blazing red sun bearing the word “Nature.” The typography for “Jungle Brothers” is bold and green, while “Done by the Forces of Nature” flows across the top in bright, stylized letters. The art is painted in a richly saturated, dreamlike style that blends African heritage, spiritual symbolism, and urban vibrance.
