Profile: Who the fuck is Rhodes54? Well, I'm schizofrenic, that's for sure. Maybe you find out one day who I feel like being every now and then.

;-) I am a music lover since the day I was born. I got my first recordplayer at the age of 5 and bought my first houserecord in 1986, being 10 at that time. Since then collecting music became a passion and a daily activity.

Date of birth? Do you really wanna know? well.

Yes, a hot one! Pets? The coolest Dalmatian on earth: Duco Hobbies?

Besides music, Going deep into the ground somewhere in the dessert of southern America, trying to find out everything about D'ni and its history.

Which music do you want to be played on your funeral? I was actually not planning to die, but you can pick something cool out of my collection. Any mixes and shows?

Yup: RAAR FM's Oldskool Nite. Thursdays from 20:00-00:00. (CET) with Back To House (20-22), Styles Inc.

In The Mix (22-23) and "Negozio Di Dolci" (23-00) on presenting the best Classics Italian house! And last but not least I am proud to present you (a) Rhodes 54! :-) Basically Fixation is based on the baseline of Touch me by the 49ers.

An awesome and typical X-Energy type Pianoriff was added on top and is finished with a male voice saying 'I need a fix, fixation' and the wellknown female sample 'I'm hot for you'. The brilliance of this track lies in the basic production and the change in chords thoughout the track, like Max 'n' Frank Minoia did a lot during these days. Fixation seems to be hard to find but is definitely worth hunting.

It's in my top 5 of all time Italian house favourites! This is definitely Don Carlos' masterpiece. Every track is a beauty on its own and all tracks perfectly blend together on the album.

It's a shame that they edited nearly all of the tracks to fit the records. Although the CD version of Aqua misses a few mixes it has 6 extra tracks and contain the full versions.
