Don started his first Soundsystem / Live p.a. in 1993. (The term Soundsystem or Live p.a. describes a DJ set with live musicians or vocalists, not the technical equipment.)
The current Soundsystem is going back to the basics : Turntables, Microphone and vintage rhythm from the 50s and 60s. It started with Earl Zinger on the mic and grew eventually with the Hoochie Koo events and other vocalists like Joey B Carter, Saudia Young and musicians like Florent Mannant or Jules Kiss on Saxophone. Most recently, the main Master of Ceremony is singer Marta Karta. Most of the used instrumentals are specially produced or modified for this soundsystem.
In the 90s and Naughties, Rogall fathomed all ways of a Soundsystem. He lectured on this topic at the Red Bull music academy, performed with different line-ups at Jazz-festivals, Raves and Art-events. Check also: Analogue Freestyle.
