Leonard Posso hasn't added a story.
Many of you already know me from being a part of the Underground Electronic Music scene for probably well over 2 decades, but for those that don't know me... my name is Leonard Posso or better known as Lenny Posso... I'm a born and raised New Yorker, but as of the last 3 years I now live in Berlin, Germany. I moved here just to be more immersed and active in the music and culture that I love and cherish. I also run 3 record labels; Thema Recordings, Thema Digital Series & Chronicle Records for the last 11 years. I've been an avid collector since 1994-5 of house, techno, ambient and everything in between that falls into a very small niche of proper Underground electronic music. I have to say, I'm very proud of my collection and would do anything for my music. In my recent incident, some of you can obviously see to what extent. In my move to Berlin I had 2 palates of my record collection shipped over. These are very essential precious tools to my trade and profession. Music has and will always be a part of my life in one way or another.
So to get to what had recently happened, I was robbed of my
record bag after a gig in Berlin, Germany. I finished my gig, stayed
awhile for a few drinks with friends. My friend and I decided to leave
around 5am, we crossed the street with my record bag to a bus stop
where I was dropping her off. 2 guys who seemed well intoxicated
approached us and distracted us for no more then 10-15 seconds, I turn
around and my large UDG bag which was only an arms distance away was
gone! I/we looked all over…. It was no where to be found. I couldn’t
believe what had just happened and how fast it all went down.
After an hour or more of searching, a homeless man on a bike,
who caught wind of what had happened, approached us and said...
“Hey, hey man, I think I found your bag!” I was in doubt but
asked him to show me, sure enough it was my bag... but it was
floating down stream in the near by canal! They tossed the bag with
all my records over the side of a walk bridge after scouring it for
any obvious valuables. I jumped into action, took off most of my
clothes and jumped into the canal! I was able to recover my record
bag, my Sennheiser headphones, 2 out 3 of my USB sticks and 10
records that morning. The water was too cold, so I had to stop trying
to salvage the remaining records that we could clearly see at the
bottom of the canal from the over-head walk bridge.
So we came back a few days after the incident with proper
equipment (scuba gear) and planning to see if we could salvage
whatever records that we could from the bottom of that canal. I was
determined to give it 1 last try! But after a deep hard and almost
dangerous attempt we were only able to find 1 record that day.... and
so I lost around 50+ records, my headphones turned out to not work
either and so I took a huge loss…
So the main reason for me starting this campaign was because
after posting the incident on my Facebook page.... and explaining what
had happened, i had a huge out pour from friends and colleges who
wanted to help me recover some of this music/equipment. So after a
bunch of communication with friends I/we felt it easiest to start a
funding and to just collect whatever anyone was willing to help out
with, Ill be honest, Im not very good with asking for money… but I
won’t say no to records or friend who wanna help me recover some of
these lost records.
So any money that Ill make from this will go directly into me
buying some of these records/equipment back. The amount I have here
isn’t even close to how expensive some of these record have become.
Sad thing is that I bought many of these for normal regular prices and
many of them (almost half) have sky rocketed in price! So anyone who
is down, willing and able to help a DJ get his funk back! Im forever
grateful! I will figure out some cool way to do something back for all
who help. Im not one to ask and not give… I thank you all for your
time, love, concerns, jokes and more so help in this crazy cause.
Sincerely,
Lenny
