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 fu
