In the artist's words:

"From Hamburg's legendary Golden Pudel Club via Pakistan to the program of the Münchner Kammerspiele: The DJ, music mediator and promoter Sebastian Reier aka Booty Carrell wanders through countries, genres and different event forms on his journey through the musical vastness of this planet" (Süddeutsche Zeitung). The self-proclaimed vinyl archaeologist and door alcoholic brings "Minority Pop" to dance floors worldwide: Tours and performances have taken him to Thailand, Pakistan, Turkey and across Europe. As a curator and producer of music programs, he has worked for "New Hamburg" in cooperation with the Deutsches Schauspielhaus and the Venice Architecture Biennale, among others. He also works as an author and radio producer for DIE ZEIT, WDR and ByteFM, among others. "Making Global Sound Local" is the slogan of his DJ crew B-Music. He spins records and soundtracks from Turkey, Iran, Lebanon, Israel, Syria, India, Pakistan, but also France and southern Germany. All highly danceable!

Booty Carrell is the DJ alias of vinyl archaeologist, Golden Pudel resident and outernational deejay Sebastian Reier. Carrell does his research in the deep spaces of the vinyl universe. He digs into the second wave of musical globalization. And he sets off where musicians around the world have started to melt regional traditions with a western gesture. Be it in Turkey, Iran, Romania, Pakistan, France or even Germany - Carrell is known to deliver minority pop and neglected world hits that can turn the world upside down. But first they'll make you dance! "Making Global Sound Local" is the slogan of his DJ crew B-Music that can be found around Andy Votel and Doug Shipton's record label Finders Keepers. For years, Booty Carrell has been keeping the dancefloors in Europe burning and catering music in the Hamburg-based record store Groove City. His show Groovie Shizzl is broadcasted bi-weekly on the internet radio station ByteFM. Since September 2020 he is working as music director at Münchner Kammerspiele in Munich, Germany.

"Booty Carrell is a vinyl archaeologist, an outernational DJ who is known for his efforts towards reviving neglected world hits, an effort that has had a huge impact in the past. It appears that the role of the DJ is undergoing a change. Instead of just playing recorded music, it seems that now the scope is being widened. His work is now more than just his choice of music to be played; it is the sequencing, the selection and then what everyone in that particular group can be best entertained with, the improvisational ability as to what to play, which may not have been scripted beforehand but can only be done by reliance on instinctual responses."
