In 1994 Jeff and a partner opened a record store called Cosmic One Records that became the first electronic record store in Malmoe. With say- the opening of the record store Jeff’s DJ career got a boost and he started playing at various venues.

The how- only label that is still alive from that era is Kung Fu dub, which has recently been frozen up from its 3 year sleep with some nice upcoming releases and remixes.
