Tonight: Party Arty!

Posted on 13/04/2006 by Thomas

Lovelite is the place, Party Arty is the event. For three years now, wortartist Yaneq is organizing this mind-opening celebration, hosting the show himself. As always, he will have some extraordinary guests: spokenword and beatbox artists, Djs and bands.. Of which, funally enough, most happen to be my friends.

Suzi Wong will be kicking in with Jeff Pils a brutall elekkktroset, Al Haca will demonstrate their laptop breakbeat punch and finally, Tolcha with DJ Shir Khan will present their new album “Gestalt”. For an idea of their dub-electro-reggae-grimy music, listen to their hit: “Streetvibes”:

Movies and music

Posted on 10/04/2006 by Thomas

One of my favourite German blogs, Spreeblick, had some great links these days:
First, I found this extremely intelligent and entertaining movie: Callcenter.

Then, I stumbled across the videoplatform Dailymotion, which works much like Youtube but seems to have much more music material. The video I posted further down, is from there, too.

And today, they wrote about the french version of DJ Shadow, “Wax Tailor” and the great song: “Que sera”

DJ Patrique in the mix!

Posted on 07/04/2006 by Thomas

I talked about that before, and finally I have it: A brand new shiny mix by DJ Patrique. It’s minimal, it’s funky, it’s soulful, it grooves.

You start listening and might think, “well, this is nice summer house music..” but wait until it starts hypnotically screwing its sawtooth synths into your ear. Hands up on the dancefloor guaranteed.

With selected records by, amongst others: Audiomontage (Freerange), Steve Bug (Pokerflat), Samim&Michal (Freizeitglauben), Phage (Highgrade 31): Contemporary Berlin house music, just the style I love.

DJ Patrique plays in different clubs in and around Berlin. He is playing records for ten years. He is part of the Stylewalker-artists.

News from Barcelona

Posted on 06/04/2006 by Thomas

I know, the image in the head of my page still shows Barcelona although it has been three weeks that I am back in Berlin. But it is so beautiful! and I do not want to replace it with crappy, dirty, rainy, cold Berlin. Not yet, anyway.

Also: Stylewalker.net still is your preferred source for news from Barcelona! And here’s two: Sonar announced their program for 2006 and Bread and Butter is hiring! Continue reading →

Techno is alife

Posted on 04/04/2006 by Thomas

..with Martin Landsky in Brussels. Watch a video packed with clubfeeling. Deep, sexy, sweaty music and party impressions from P3P-club in Brussels.

The P3P-people have more movies and music on their, in my opinion, brilliantly designed page. It’s clean, it works, it’s stylish, it’s all there.

We need more club documentations! If you see any, tell me!

What to expect on stylewalker.net

Posted on 03/04/2006 by Thomas

“I should write more”, I am telling myself from time to time. Because I like to see my little magazine grow. Moreover, my statistics and the comments show me that over the time there’s more and more people who peek into stylewalker.net every now and then. Cool! So to motivate myself and give a non-reliable outlook what stylewalker.net is going to deal with in the future, here are some upcoming subjects:

Nike Football Campaign

Posted on 31/03/2006 by Thomas

Certainly, we are going to see a war for awareness in summer when the world is watching the football world cup and the opponents: Adidas vs Nike.

Nike already started a massive internet campaign with “Joga bonito” (Portuguese for “Play nice”). You’ll find many cool movies and a community: www.joga.com (the page with the fastest growing rate of attention lately, as per Alexa.com)

Talk about viral effects: The videos are little masterpieces about how to play beautiful football and the website makes it easy to share. Of course yu can send an email with link, but there’s also a code snippet, people can put into their websites. Here’s an example: Continue reading →

Last Call For Disco

Posted on 30/03/2006 by Thomas

It’s an appealing name for a band, isn’t it? Four young men from Berlin performed yesterday at the semi-regular “LoFi Lounge” at Schokoladen, Ackerstraße, organized by Kitty.

(By the way: If the guys from Schokoladen could not continue with their concerts due to a more expensive hire contract, it would be a shame. Great location for new music, always!)

Around 20h, I passed by and heard the driving beat from inside, the guys did their soundcheck. I liked it and their name “Last Call For Disco”, and since it is only five minutes from my flat I went later to see their concert. Continue reading →

The tipping point

Posted on 29/03/2006 by Thomas

This is about an amazing book I read recently. I am annoying my friends talking so much about it and I use its stories at work.

It is called “The tipping point” by Malcom Gladwell.

It’s not an insider’s tip, especially not in the U.S. and already has had quite an aftermath. Libraries, e.g. were rewarded for new ideas that had spread from the book.

I painted my wall in red

Posted on 28/03/2006 by Thomas

I always wanted to do this: paint one of my walls in a strong colour. It had to be red and I decided to take a colour they call “Ziegelrot”. It is very srong and dominant and I took me a LONG time to paint it. I still find some sites to improve. What do you think? Mean comments are welcome but they have to be funny!
