Dicke Bässe, fette Beats und dieses ständige whoop whoop wamp...bei Dubstep gehen einfach alle Köpfe in den Nacken und sind nicht mehr zu halten, wenn die Foreign Beggars mit ihrer In-Your-Face-Clubmusik aus Hip-Hop, Grime, Dubstep und Drum'n'Bass alle Gliedmaßen zum rotieren bringen. Die Londoner sorgen diesen Freitag ( 18.05.12 ) im Gretchen mit ihren wilden Freestyle-Einlagen für ordentlich Bewegung und heizen den Berlinern gehörig ein mit Tracks wie OH feat. Beardyman oder Getting It mit Skrillex . Für nur drei Termine machen sie in Deutschland halt und wenn auch [...]
"Dance dance dance 'til you're dead"...as the Yeah Yeah Yeah 's from NYC would sing and a whizz kid from Brighton took that almost literally by naming himself Deadboy and creating toxic garage-riddims and yearning funky-beats. So there ain't no stopping for your feet this saturday ( 05.05.12 ) at Club Gretchen until this british guy from the Glasgow based label Numbers may be willing to release you. But one thing can be promised: his capturing sound will leave a heartache to the ground when countless soles will twirl round the dance floor! [...]

Wer in der Lage ist, den Sonnenschein mit seiner Musik in Flaschen abzufüllen, der muss ein wahrer Meister sein, der die spezielle musikalischen Formel für eine positive Lebenseinstellung nicht nur in seinem Herzen, sondern auch in seinen Beats trägt. Schon seit über zwei Dekaden spinnt DJ E.A.S.E. aka Nightmares on Wax zeitlose Tunes wie zum Beispiel auf seiner LP " In A Space Outta Sound ". Diese sind von einer tiefen Liebe zu Genres wie Soul, Funk, Hip Hop, Reggae und Jazz geprägt und lassen sich in einer Verschmelzung mit sorgsam reduzierter Elektronik zu einer [...]
Diesen Freitag ( 16.03.12 ) fallen wir aus allen Wolken, denn ein belgischer Dj setzt mit lauter Indie-und Electro-Tunes im Gepäck vorm Club Gretchen zur Landung an. Aeroplane beflügelt mit seinem Electro-Disco-Sound nicht nur die Füße zum Tanzen, sondern versetzt uns einen Adrenalinkick wie beim Starten Richtung Himmel. Mit Remixen für die starke Grace Jones oder Friendly Fires ' " Paris " (checkt den Link unten) hat er einiges an Kerosin verbraucht, um in ferne Lande geholt zu werden, wo er seinen Sound gemeinsam mit seinem ehemaligen DJ-Partner The Magician durch [...]
Ghostface needs love too.For the many who hold Enter the Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers among their favorites, Ghostface Killah's upcoming visit to Minneapolis is an event that'll be remembered for some time.
CLICK PICTURE TO VIEW FLYER If you've been to the last HOMAGE event , you've witnessed the legend Roy Ayers & Band sharing the stage with J Rocc (Beat Junkies), giving you an explosive performance. Unfortunately, that was the same day that Pete Rock was supposed to attend but couldnt due to the angels giving Dwight Myers his wings . This time around, the event will be having all sorts of guests, which includes the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble (w/ Phil Cohran ), Venice Dawn (with [...]
The third installment of the Homage Concert series in Los Angeles presents Phil Cohran , who will be accompanied by The Hypnotic Brass Ensemble . Cohran is a legendary jazz trumpeter who made his bones with the Sun Ra Arkestra in the late 50s and early 60s before forming the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM) in 1965. The AACM deliver performances, work within communities, and have a school of music for inner city youth in Chicago. [...]
2012 has been a brutal year for those of us who love soul, jazz, funk and related music. In a short span of time, we've lost Jimmy Castor, Johnny Otis, Etta James and Don Cornelius (apologies to anyone I've overlooked). As tributes from musicians, DJs, writers, etc pour in (and deservedly so); it's refreshing to [...]
Komplex, feinsinnig, fabelhaft. Mit seinem Album „ Black Sands " machte Bonobo im letzten Jahr in der mittlerweile "geschlossenen" Maria halt um uns mit seiner Musik zu begeistern und zu erfreuen. Es war ein wunderbarer Abend mit wundervollen Klängen. Nun haben sich wiederum einige Künstler berufen gefühlt sich an die Songs seines letzten Albums zu begeben, um sie neu zu interpretieren. Und da diese ihr Handwerk durchaus verstehen, dürfen wir uns glücklich schätzen am Donnerstag Abend die Veröffentlichung des neuen Albums „ Black Sands Remixed " im Gretchen zu erleben. Die zahlreiche [...]

The new year always brings massive periods of reflection for me. Not only do we all start a new chapter, but I have a January birthday, so I'm looking ahead and acknowledging my past simultaneously. I assess where I want to be, areas of life to improve and lessons to keep in my back pocket. I've always been an extremely deep thinker, and music significantly marks and highlights different seasons on my life. Blind I is making some exciting changes this year and it's beginning with revamping the way we approach our compilations. I [...]
Home is where the heart is...and now it's just beating to the smooth and dreamy folk-soul songs of Jono McCleery . It feels like time is passing slowlier and everything blurs around you. The simple beauty of his voice catches you abruptly and overruns you with a flood of passion for this talented singer-songwriter. On thursday (24.11.11) the London-based artist will enter the halls of Gretchen in cooperation with his Ninja Tune -mate Bonobo . The pioneer of Downtempo [...]
Des nachts streift er durch die dunklen Gassen dieser Welt, um für das Gute einzustehen und Böses zu verhindern. Ausgerüstet mit enormen Fähigkeiten und dem Instinkt für Gerechtigkeit wird er zum Helden der Dämmerung. Die mysteriöse Maske lässt nur vermuten, welcher Held der Nacht sich dahinter verbirgt. Seine Waffen sind smashende Synthesizer-Tunes, dröhnende Drums und kräftige Gitarren-Riffs, mit denen er jeden hilflosen Beat-Freak aus der musikalischen Langeweile rettet. Diesen Samstag ist er der most wanted Electro-Act des Gretchens : The Toxic Avenger aka Simon Delacroix. Benannt nach einem mutierten Monster-Superhelden aus einem trashigen Low-Budget-Horrorfilm [...]

The Kickdrums remix of "Come Come" by LA band Hot As Sun is about as sick as gets. Ominous "Ready or Not Here I Come" horns and strings frame a dope as hell 808 and an excellent gloomy female voiced hook. Yeah, all that and a verse from Gangsta Gibbs! (WHAT?) Where'd that come from? Don't ask questions, hit the track. Hot As Sun - Come Come (Feat. Freddie Gibbs) (The Kickdrums Remix) Hot As Sun ( Facebook ) ( Bandcamp [...]
"Shadows on Behalf" sounds like it was recorded at several points throughout history - at a '60s soul festival, the set of a '70s porno, a pioneering hip-hop sample demonstration from the '80s... it's a wonderful smorgasbord of stylistic periods, to say the least. The best classification for it, and many of The Stepkids' tracks, [...]
Woah! This has the bass-funk & then some Brothers and Sisters! Lyrically pounding, with a deep n' dark collective significance, Buddy Miles screams a Blues-type message across in perfect form, crossed over with a magical piece of Rock 'n' Roll magnitude that gifts his sound with important consequence and meaningful character. A true embodiment of [...]
Woah! This has the bass-funk & then some Brothers and Sisters! Lyrically pounding, with a deep n' dark collective significance, Buddy Miles screams a Blues-type message across in perfect form, crossed over with a magical piece of Rock 'n' Roll magnitude that gifts his sound with important consequence and meaningful character. A true embodiment of Nebraska born American rock and funky drumming talent, the former drummer for Jimi Hendrix's Band Of Gypsys, Electric Flag and the Buddy Miles Express leaves his legacy in tack and his love for California Raisins in the archives.

Vernon Burch was considered a child prodigy of sorts when he made his performance debut with the Delfonics as a teenager. Later he moved on to join the reconstituted Bar Kays on their early 70s albums, then bolted for a solo career after their contract with Stax ran out. He did not receive the fame his former band mates would later experience, but the guitarist recorded for United Artists, Columbia and Chocolate City during a six-year period the produced the minor hits "Frame of Mind" and "Give It To Me." Today his reputation is [...]
