Frankfurt, Germany (1996 – present)
Uwe Schmidt (aka Señor Coconut; born in Frankfurt, Germany) is a German DJ and producer of electronic music.
By 1996 he was thoroughly bored by European dance music and moved to Santiago, Chile to explore Latin music. He quickly adopted the intentionally ridiculous Señor Coconut moniker, and soon released El Gran Baile, finding time afterwards to do a little remix work for Towa Tei, formerly of the multi-national Deee-Lite.
His next release, in 2000, was the delightful Latin-Kraftwerk fusion of El Baile Alemán. The album featured several Kraftwerk classics reworked with Latin instrumentation and rhythm. The LP was intended as a salute to, and a parody of Kraftwerk as evidenced by the intro to
Autobahn which features the sound of a car that won’t start.

For his next album he should give the Latin treatment to traditional Irish songs. And possibly title it "El Baile Átha Cliath".

I think he didn't get the moniker from the very cool fashion travel to Chile dressing like a very coolfashiontrendyeuropean dj and then dressing like a very coolfashiontrendylatin (and asking to the people around "do you like my poses?" or "Do you like my mustache?"). No I think he simply copied from Kid Creole and the Coconuts. If they didn't exist, I'm sure he never had the idea to associate coconuts to his name. I've never seen a DJ doing something original, as DJ mission is finding old records, sample them, put some 19,99$ pre-builted drums above, play 3 notes and sell it as "new".
