Last week I returned from my first trip of the year to mainland Europe. I spent six busy days in Germany, though it would be more correct to say that I spent it in Bayern (or Bavaria as it's known in English). My previous visit to Deutschland was last summer when I attended the wedding of my friend Christian and his wife Ria. The main reason for my visit this time was to attend a double birthday celebration in Nuremberg for both Christian and Ria who were born 24 hours apart in 1980. I was also invited to a double [...]
Here's a semi-older one by 2Raumwohnung that I've been revisiting a lot that I thought I'd share with you. If you've only heard the Solomun remix, I'd suggest you take a listen to this Paul Kalkbrenner work (it's fire,) and then go pick up the other versions by Good Groove & Yapacc and Seith & Bohmbach. One of the more illustrious vocal dance pieces this year, I'd also recommend taking a look at the lyrical translations . 2Raumwohnung - Wir Werden Sehen (Paul Kalkbrenner Remix) As far as [...]
I really have found it difficult to hop on board the minimal-tech bandwagon, and I've noticed its been doing the roundsz in my neighbourhood. Most of it is bland and boring and does nothing for me. I like music to stimulate the mind, to cause intense feelings of euphoria, to tug at my heart strings [...]
fantastisk remix fra diynamic-bossen, solomun . originalen er også vild nok. albummet 'lasso' udkom i sidste måned, men har ikke rigtigt haft mulighed for at høre det. Wir Werden Sehen (Solomun Vox Remix) - 2raumwohnung

So this is going to be a semi-regular post I'm going to do called 'Overlooked'. Guess what it's about? Basically, this is a chance to explore hidden or forgotten gems, past and present. If you have your own, please let all of us know. Today's post, 'German pop', refers to a sort of enigmatic style of music that might not really be pop by our standards. Certainly Germans listen to plenty of English speaking tunes, and they have a wide array of music coming from their own country. But American pop (Britney and Co.) have very little in [...]
diese etwas dicken blauen dinger, die musik spielen, wenn man draufklickt, sind der audioplayer von 1 pixel out . und ich habe das gefühl, der funktioniert nicht mehr so richtig, geht das jemand anderem auch so? oder hört sich eh nie jemand was auf der seite an und alles wird direkt runtergeladen? bei mir jedenfallssteht immer erstmal endlos "buffering" oben, manchmal bleibt es auch einfach so. manchmal funktioniert aber auch alles. testen sie mal! [auf der seite kann man sich an dieser stelle ein audio anhören] 2raumwohnung - spiel mit (alter ego remix) [...]
electro house man, electro house. what is the threshold for something to be retro? how long is the elastic cycle that makes the cool get uncool and return to cool? when may i break out my freshjive fat pants? is this weekend too soon? pffft. Here are few of my favourite retro tracks from 2003 First up here's a track originally by Laura Brannigan's on Atlantic records from who knows how far back. Here it's covered by Soft Cell's lead singer Marc Almond. [...]
So as I munch on my peanut butter and jelly tortilla (which is a classic, mind you), I can't help but think about the Gurtenfestival this upcoming July (which you have to understand is without a doubt going to be the sweetest part of my summer). I woke up this morning and felt I should go more in depth about this festival, because quite frankly, I don't know much about it either. According to Wikipedia, it's held annually on Bern's local mountain, the Gurten. See, that's a plus already--not only will the [...]
