German bassist and composer David Nesselhauf is exploring new depths in the territory of experimental music by fusing elements of Krautrock and Afrobeat into a new blend of so-called “Afrokraut”. Sound-wise he digs music that has what he calls “woody bass” – as heard in raw funk, stoner rock and tasty jazz. Born in November 1980 in Berlin, West Germany, David got started in music when he was asked to play bass in a schoolmate’s band and he has been playing ever since. David is also a founding member of the Hamburg-based raw-funk outfit “Diazpora” and since recently member of Erobique´s new Soul-outfit “Hamburg Spinners”. “Space Station” was originally released on his album Afrokraut II - The Lowbrow Manifesto.
