Futureboogie Mixes back online

Posted on 04/05/2006 by Thomas

Hurry! Last month they cut the connection because they had too much traffic.
Futureboogie is an online platform by guys who are really fans of Jazzanova, Compost, Sonar Kollektiv and Ninja Tunes. Just like Stylewalker.

They host sets of people they like, as well their own ones, packed with the best British taste since Gilles Peterson, plus interviews with King Britt, Recloose, Bonobo and many more.
Now they are back and running, e.g. with a brilliant, smooth, a little psycho and housy Dixon mix, Rainer Trüby, or Trickski with a spacy reggae mix!

Check Dixon:

The brand is your friend

Posted on 02/05/2006 by Thomas

What might, on the first look, seem to be yet another marketing claim or even a nice way to describe the academic concept of brand personality, now gets a new red-hot quality. The recent strategies of Rupert Murdoch aim to turn the impressive success of MySpace, which is already the second-most visited site on the web (after Yahoo), into an even bigger revenue machine.

He put one of his most skilled multimedia managers to the task: Ross Levinson, boss of Murdoch’s News corporation’s overarching online unit: Fox Interactive Media.

Pro Loveradio

Posted on 28/04/2006 by Thomas

The best loveparade-event, the Loveradio organized by the public radio station Fritz, might not take place this year. People have started a pro-loveradio-campaign, Stylewalker supports their approach emphatically.

Please tell people about it, write a mail to Fritz-radio and sign the post at Berlin Stadtkind!

Clubdocumentation reloaded

Posted on 27/04/2006 by Thomas

Recently, I uttered the public wish for more clubdocumentation in my Landski-in-Brussels-post. Now, I found some nice stuff from Berlin. Party makers Soulkombinat have nice Fotos in Flickr and Photophunk have many, many pictures of Berlin clubnights, as well as Max aka Sxw. Probably those you have been to, too..

It’s not video though, but considering all the unwatchable rave-club-stuff on You Tube (blurry pictures, distorted sound to the max, etc.), I have to admit that it is damn hard 1.) to get some good footage out of dirty, dark and noisy clubs and 2.) to edit a good video.

Especially, taking in consideration that most of the club protagonists normally are too exhausted from partying, anyway..

Suzi Wongs Housegrooves

Suzi Wong at ZMF Photocredit: marco.microbi @ Photophunk.comYou might have noticed: Suzi Wong is one of my favourite DJs. I just like to go to parties where she’s playing and she always makes me dance. (if you come here by her site, enjoy this article and mix and then take a look at this blog’s homepage)

She has been spinning records for many, many years and over the time developed her outstanding taste for the kick on the dancefloor, the forgotten and upcoming classics, the unminimal drumloop and the subversive pop moments in techno music.

Stylewalker.net is proud to present an exclusive mix you won’t find anywhere else!

Gnarls Barkley – Listen today!

Posted on 21/04/2006 by Thomas

Gnarls Barkley are DJ Dangermouse (remember the grey album – most downloaded music in history) and singer Cee-Lo who just made history with the first UK number 1 hit that was based on online sales alone.

From today until sunday you can listen to their album “St Elsewhere” on their MySpace-site. Album release is the 5th of may. What a hype! But: Cool music: funky, techy, souly and defintely Stylewalker-approved.

Danger Mouse is a workaholic. In between he produced the Gorillaz-album and among others an album with MC Jemini. Listen to a legendary interview on Radio One.

Sven Väth is alive

Sven Fäth Foto von Christian JakubaszekThe godfather of techno is in a good mood and his message is cristal clear:
“Gude Laune, Aldaaaaaaaaaaaaa..!”

Love, peace and crazyness, ecstasy and ayurveda..
Everybody who thought Sven Väth these days is only about vegan food and healthy lifestyle was obviously mistaken. Voll drauf, Alda!

Tonight: Barca vs Milan

Posted on 18/04/2006 by Thomas

Since my current home Berlin is not really capital of the most beautiful, neither succesful football, my other home, Barcelona, pretty much fills that emotional void in me.

So, tonight, get ready for the battle of giants: AC Milan vs FC Barcelona.
Kaka vs Ronaldinho, Shevchenko vs Eto’o, Inzaghi vs Puyol..

To put you into the mood for great football, watch this video (Ronaldo – yes, actually used to be a good player – Maradona, Pelé and many more..)

Easter Ball

Posted on 16/04/2006 by Thomas

I just went to play basketball.

Alone.

I lost anyway.

Must have been because of the wet surface.

Or maybe I made the rules too complicated.

DJ Delfonic

Posted on 13/04/2006 by Thomas

He always sends me invitations to great parties offering to put me on the guestlist.
First, I thought that was strange until I took the time to check out his Delfonic profile on MySpace. A great DJ from Berlin who definitely gets the “Stylewalker-approved” button! Danceable Reggae-HipHop-Funk’n’Soul-mixes with supreme technique and style.

He has even produced some cool remixes, my favourite is “Dub be good to me” (the 4th in the MySpace tracklist) but I was totally convinced when I listened to this live mix he recorded in one of Berlin’s coolest clubs, the Deep (so underground, it has no website). Check it out:
