Onur Engins Grosstadtsoul

Monday, May 14th, 2007

Kurz und schmerzlos: Diesen wunderbar entspannenden Nachmittagsmix von Onur Engin, der unter anderem die Montape Radio Show (viele, viele Mixe zum laden) mitgestaltet. Jazzy Stuff, sehr soulful, sehr groovy, sehr urban, man möchte Cocktails dazu trinken und vielleicht einen Hut tragen. Macht dein Zimmer zum Salon. Später wird die Musik dann richtig bombastisch und elegisch und man will aufstehen und auf der Autobahn fahren.

No.50: Hannes Metz in the mix

Wednesday, May 9th, 2007

Hannes Metz is one of the people behind Caffeine, a new and hot party series in different locations in Berlin. Had I been able to walk last friday (too much football..) I would have attended their fest at Ballhaus Ost with Matthias Tanzmann for sure.
Now I revcovered and can dance around in my apartment not only because I am so happy to finally post the 50th DJ set (!) but rather because this is such a nice and funky, deep tech house mix, with reduced melodies and surprising effects that make a worthy jubilee mix
Enjoy Hannes Metz April Mix (there’s another one on his myspace page)

Kornél Kovács in the mix

Wednesday, March 21st, 2007

Kornel Kovacs at SpybarThis man rocked the club last saturday where I lost two jackets, a scarf and my keys. Good news is: I got it all back! But wow, what a party. Kornél Kovács is only 21 years old, lives in Stockholm and plays clubs like the Spybar or Teatron. We were happy to welcome him here in Berlin – and much more than the welcome I hardly remember.

So it’s a fantastic club, not only because lost things get found, but because of the familial atmosphere. And it’s so secret that I was told not to write anything about it – not even here on this tiny, unimportant blog. Wow. But that’s ok, exclusiveness is a secret to many succesful places.
All I can give you is this pack of stompy techy Stockholm electro tunes, please imagine the blond girls closing their eyes and shaking their hair: Kornél Kovács and his halloween mix and some pictures from the last “Nacht” at Spybar

DJ FEX

Thursday, March 1st, 2007

I already liked this first FEX dj set by the hedonistic Parisien and this one’s not an inch worse. On the contrary: Takes you on a journey into the big halls, filled with smoke and strobes and the clubs filled with sweaty people. I have no idea why this kind of reduced minimal still a little trancy deephouse music catches me so much. But it’s definitely something that puts me to another level..

Tobias Thomas (Kompakt) in the mix

Monday, February 19th, 2007

Tobias ThomasKompakt is the label that even more than all other great ones (like Karaoke Kalk, Substatic or Treibstoff) built the “minimal-fame of Cologne”, also with their big distribution network they smartly built over the last years. I personally don’t own any Kompakt records but their DJs sure deserve the popularity. One of its protagonists is Tobias Thomas who is also a music theorist (or journalist) for German pop magazine SPEX.

He plays regularly in Berlin’s Panorama bar and has gigs all over the world. In his mixes he is not so minimal at all, but has a nice feel for some pop, elegiac and hands up moments. Enjoy the following mix (which is not always tight and perfect but very warmhearted and with the real club feeling to it) which was recorded at Kiosk Club in Lille in 2006 and is kindly hosted by Dviason.

I found this mix via the highly remarkable Dj mixes collection Drogensumpf aka <3 Electro – an almost too overwhelming amount of DJ mixes.
