We Have Shining

Yes folks, still snow, frosty weather in Berlin but I love it. My perfect iPod winter-blast ist the new SHINING album "Blackjazz" on Indie Recordings. A sinister screaming, roaring monster with the evilst from Black Metal, Industrial, Breakcore and Jazz! Don't believe it? Go check them out and prey they play live in your town. I wait for the vinyl version to experience full dynamic terror.
So comes the February playlist with a hammering track from "Blackjazz". In no particular order on my decks:

PORIER - Marathon (Ninja Tune) 12
CROOKERS & STEED LORD - Transsilvania (White) 12

JACKMASTER HATER - Sensation (Warehouse Box Tracks) 12
MONO MANIAX - Sexy Tourismo GOHAN's Pigalle Rmx (Black Frog) 12

We Are Only Riders, oh yes, we are!

Oh, how I love(d) The Gun Club. And I don't mean their cool but annoying Goth Wave Club standart Sex Beat, but the beauty of albums like Miami or Las Vegas Story. Especially the melancholic, shivering voice of Jeffrey Lee Pierce took my attention and it was a great loss when Pierce passed away in 1996. The Gun Club always moved in between bands like The Bad Seeds, Crime & The City Solution or The Cramps, quite uncomfortable, as their swampy, bluesy sound was quite early for that what's called Americana today.
Back in the days, Cypress Grove demoed a couple of songs with Jeffrey Lee Pierce what possibly are the last works he participated. Re-interpreted by fellas like Nick Cave, Lydia Lunch, Debbie Harry, The Raveonettes, The Sadies, David Eugene Edwards or Mark Lenegan, these songs form a vibrating Compilation of Swamp Blues, Gloomy Country and Dark Rock. A great introduction, optically enhanced with photos from the recording sessions, to the songs of Jeffrey Lee Pierce, released on Vinyl and CD via Glitterhouse Records.

Farewell to the Noughties

To me, the Noughties felt like the 80s. Fresh, loud, experimental, noisy and with big Pop attitude. In many ways.
Here's my last DJ-Mix with my typical Noughties Club sound I played. I'm sure you'll like this naughty little monster....

I Eat Electricity

Looking back on the Noughties, I wanna end the year with a look forward. House Music is back and we're hosting a new party in Berlin, starting 16th January at the cool underground location ZMF in Berlin Mitte (yes, Mitte and Underground, I know it sounds doubtful...).
Anyway, Mirror Mirror will feature cool Electro Nuveaux, Nu Disco, Classic House etc. for your pleasure. Here's a second quick mix to give you an idea what we think the next years might sound like in Electronica.

2009 over and over and over...

I can't believe another decade has gone again. So, what is left in Pop Music? Repetition, repetition, repetition. It's incredible. I have the feeling that Pop Music dies the next decade, but couldn't survive another decade of copycats, coversongs, casting bands. But where's creativity? We'll see, but one thing's for sure - Dance music is back and the decade of skinny jeans bands is thankfully over. So here's what kicked us in '009:

Die Vögel - Die Blaue Moshee (Pampa)
Jackpot - Brief Encounter (Rvng Intl)
The Bloody Beetroots - Warp 1977 (Dim Mak)
Vitalic - Flashmob (Different)
Boris - Heavy Metal Addict (Southern Lord)
Flying Lotus - Disco Balls (Hyperdub)
The Phenomenal Handclap Band - 15 To 20 (Gomma)
Keenhouse - Ari-Es (Grum Rmx) (Believe Electro)
The Emperor Machine - Kananana (DC Recordings)
Doves - Kingdom Of Rust (Prins Thomas Rmx) (Major)
Acidkids -Mad Mahoney (Motor Rmx) (Acidkids)
Classixx - I'll Get You (Music Response)
Douster - Ladinian (ZKK)
Fever Ray -Triangle Walks (Tiga's 1-2-3-4 Rmx) (Rabid)
White Lies - Farewell To Fairground (Rory Phillips Rmx) (Fiction)
Parov Stelar - The Catgroove (Etage Noir)
Boy 8-Bit - Baltic Pine (This Is Music)
Curses - The Deep End (Institubes)

Oh happy days!

Yes, the final weeks of 009 and a whole decade. But before I post the Bomb Boutique bests, I'll get us all in the mood:
