Yo. I’ll be in Göttingen to celebrate being out of school for ten years now. I bet, I’ll meet a lot of mums and dads and entrepreneurs and people who made a f** career. ‘s going to be funny “Abi 97, schalalala!”.
You, who stay in Berlin, have a look at Fuckparade and the corresponding parties, willya.
I am back from Budapest where I spent five days to see Sziget festival. And I am still pretty mind-blown by the incredible dimensions of this bastard of a festival. Situated on an island (“sziget” means island) the visitors find over 20 stages and countless attractions, shops, food spaces, recreational areas, fairs and secret plazes – it takes more than an hour to take the whole tour around the island. And the funniest thing is: People camp everywhere. It’s not like a festival with camping. It’s like camping with a festival.
The festival goes on for a week and there are people who actually spend almost all their time there. But the festival wristbands reveal many festival visitors also in parks, museums or in Budapest’s hot springs. All Budapest seems to be Sziget festival during these days, providing an impressive backdrop of art-nouveau, socialist and post-socialist architecture.
There is a nice blog, updated daily by Zeit magazine (in German) about Sziget, which I recommend, so I won’t be writing much here (to sum it up: We had good weather and bad, healthy food and greasy, good music and not so good.. ), just provide you with a short movie I cut together and some foto impressions.

I was a bit unlucky on Berlin festival, cause I had a little accident with my bike (looking forward to having the scars) and thus missed the best parts of the festival: friday night at Tape and saturday afternoon with Go!team, Peaches and Uffie. Friday afternoon and saturday night, while I attended, seemed to be a constant going away from some place rather than a coming to. Continue reading
Two nice events tonight I would like to recommend: Delfonic hosts a listening session of the coming Eva Be record: „Moving Without Traveling“ (I wonder if the Jamiroquai association was on purpose) soon out on Sonar Kollektiv in his cosy record store Oye Records. Certainly, there will be a nice crowd and atmosphere. Weather is good so you can stand around on Oderberger Straße, drink beer, listen to music and talk about – hey, whatever you want to talk about!
The other is Sick Sinus playing at Mädcheninternat, a former Kindergarten right where Deep club used to be. Being around 20:00h at either place would be a good choice. Plus: you’ll get home at a civil time.
Tomchak, Shir Khan and Ben MonoI already wrote about the week-end roof and that it’s recommended to come early (opens at 7pm, during the week they don’t charge until 10pm or so, during the week-end you’ll be leaving 5€) and bring a jacket. The view is amazing and if you’re lucky, the rest of the people, too.
This is the case when Best Works, Sonar Kollektiv’s (amongst other artists, e.g. Fat Freddys Drop) booking and event agency host their Sundowner Parties – on the roof. I was there last time (one week ago) to see Shir Khan, Ben Mono and Tomchak and had a jolly good time. See some more pictures!
Update: See even more pictures thanks to Ben Mono who send them to me! Continue reading
Picture by LotteLenyaThis is one of the articles I have been working on far too long. Melt’s been over for more than a week but I just had to let this monster out finally. Read about the best and the worst concerts, see the best videos, find the funniest reviews on the net and find out what Goldie did when his records got transported to London instead of Melt festival.
It’s interesting: Two years ago, I was one of a few people who wrote about the Melt! festival and one a few people who posted their festival pictures on Flickr. YouTube didn’t exist back then. Last year, there were tons of pictures and videos. And this year, there are even many, many blog posts about this amazing festival on an extraordinary site, not to forget the Melt-forum which has an impressive way of self organization – one half of the people bitches about prices, the growing size, quality of the music and the other half defends their favorite festival with enthusiasm. So I watched many many videos on YouTube, scanned Flickr and the blogosphere just to get you the best and most relevant material on this year’s issue of one of the greatest festivals on the planet.

Gerade über Myspace reinbekommen, ein schön fluffiger, housiger, unaufgeregter Techmix, der mich schön im Hintergrund durch Internetrundgänge, Recherchen und Textarbeit begleitet.

I suspected it: Fusion is not like it used to be, here’s an extensive, still euphoric but critical review by Roberdo.
