Hi folks,
we’re Just Dope, two beat makers from Germany (Dj Just:Wuppertal / Dope: Gelsenkirchen).
We met each other in school and as we found out that we both love the same music (de la, a tribe called quest…) we decided to do a webmag together. So we created runnin.de, reviewed a lot of LPs and concerts. In 2002 we started producing our own beats. On this blog we want to keep you in the loops of things we do and offer you downloads of our music, pics of the studio sessions and DJ sets of Dj Just.
We also want to relaunch runnin.de and connect it anyhow with justdope.de. Expect good things to come.
Here is the basic Interview that you might know from Soundclick…

Jazz, Funk, HipHop…
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
We think it’s not only negative, because underground bands have the opportunity to make their music available to the whole world.
Your influences?
We’re influenced by artists like atcq, de la soul, madlib,jay dee (RIP), count bass d, herby hancock, george benson, stevie wonder, kankick, pete rock…
