Tape At Flamingo | 20th October

Here we go, a new club night in coop with our friends and colleagues from tape.tv - TAPE AT FLAMINGO features some of the best Nu Disco/House/Deepness from the city plus extraordinary Turntabelism on two floors. 

D-Rush from Cologne hosts the boiling bar floor with most killing grooves from Soul to Dope Beats, including various guests. On the club floor we invited Good Guy Mikesh feat. Filburt live, supported by Dominik Grötz, Jochen Voller, Ma Thias and Bomb Boutique of course. 

You'll love the Flamingo, located in Berlin Mitte and one of the few cool clubs in that area, hosted by Conny Opper.

R.I.P. Heavy D

Spread E-E-Eagle!

Holy shit, Death Grips is possibly the best Hip Hop artist I've heard for ages. Or is it Hip Hop? Urban, What the fuck ever. It's raw, cutting edge, fresh and bloody cool. In some points, it reminds me a bit of Silver Bullet or MC 900Ft Jesus - just the 2011 way. Check the video:

The Final Double Dutch

Sad news came in today when it was announced Malcolm McLaren died age 64 from cancer. Most news rely on on his notorious Sex Pistols role of course, but I experienced McLaren when I started listening to Hip Hop next to Post Punk. In my record collection shelf he stands next to Mantronix and he was as influential as Curtis Mantronik's beats were to me. Next to Chris Stein, he was another white musician who brought Black Music to a white suburban kid like I was in that time. He opened the doors for me to a wider world a amazing music and I'm thankful for that. The fantastic "Duck Rock" album is playing my MK2 now. R.I.P.!
