R'n'C (Rum 'n' Coconutwater) is a very personal and subjective project, which is purely made of enthusiasm and is where I put my heart and soul into. It evolved within months. Lots of sole ideas fell into form, culminating into what you are finding here right now. There are a lot more things planned like handmade spray & silkscreen printed T-Shirts, a groovy "costume-&-scenery"-freakshow for my YouTube vlog (video podcast), digital and physical releases like LP reissues and compilations I've been working on for a decade now, and so many other beautiful things to come...
You can call me "Mr. Coconut". I'm your host on this music & art exploration. When I was 6 years old, my parents and I moved and after a long time not touching the record player, they decided it was nice to show their son what it was like to listen to music when they were young themself. What they didn't knew was, that their randomly picked LP on the turntable made this day changing my whole life. It was nothing less than the red album by the Beatles. The whole week was playing that LP over and over again, running around the playground lilting Beatles songs. In my youth, I was listening to 60's west coast psychedelic rock and sitardrenched acid folk like the Incredible String Band. I let my recordcollection grow while digging deep at fleamarkets, record fairs, online and of course in recordstores. I guess I was the youngest customer around in those stores back then. Within my twenties I became more open to music from other decades than the 60's and fell in love with 50's Exotica and Tiki Pop Culture. I eventually even worked as CEO for a record label and CD/LP wholesale distributor. So that sunny day in my childhood literally changed everything and built a base and gave me a direction for the future. Here I am now appreciating sharing my love for music, art and culture.
