Pearl Flash (L, UK)



hey out there!
considering that i`m almost a week in london now i felt the urge to post something about the launch party of Pearl Flash, a new party serie of our friends benjamin lau aka "solid gold" and cheech aka cheech, where i was invited to play a short dj-set besides several other companions.
The main act for this night was ANORAAK, a french guy ("he introduced himself to the crowd like that") who performed a really nice life-set. for me his music sounds like an electro-pop ravers fantasy with a certain amount of french naivety. definitively you should check out his website mentioned below. might be too cheesy for some of you ... but i like it. /cheers/

New York No Wave feat. : Implog "Holland Tunnel Dive" (1980)



Implog was a project of Don Christensen and Jody Harris both members of the band "The Contortions" from New York´s short-lived No Wave movement. They had just two releases and this one came out on the american dark electronic/No Wave label Lust/Unlust Music.
"Holland Tunnel Dive" is one of my all-time favourite songs, something between New Wave-Noise-Minimal Synth and at the latest when the Saxophone melody comes in at around four minutes you should feel that brilliant piece of music.
The 12" is quite rare but there are two notable compilations(A Bugged Out Selection By Erol Alkan, New York Noise Vol. 3) which feature this song. Just if you want it on vinyl, if not take it here...

For me the perfect night drive song with my friend markus and his red car through bavarias motorways.

Horse Meat Disco @ Eagle London 22-08-2008





Horse Meat Disco is dedicated to the industry of human happiness and it pumps it out every Sunday at THE EAGLE LONDON (formerly South Central). Its the queer party for everyone; Homos and Heteros, club kids, bears, fashionistas, naturists, guerilla drag queens and ladies who munch ...

That's how Horse Meat Disco is describe on their website. It's a weekly party at the Eagle London, in Vauxhall, south of London, and it's where I went Sunday night.

Vauxhall seems to be the center of the alternative gay culture in London. There are lots of men and lots of clubs around Vauxhall station. Few of them are in railroad arches.

I started heading toward the venue at around 10 pm. For the simple reason that I didn't wanted to be there to early I took up time, took the tube to Kennington and walked to Vauxhall. When I arrived there at 11, at 349 Kennington Lane, an industrial area, there was a queue of 100 meter, all around the place. People in the queue told me, that it is always long, but that at that night it is extraordinary long because of the bank holiday on monday. If you want to go there, leave early, take public transportation straight to Vauxhall station, if you can't or don't want to afford a taxi, and go straight there. It took me two hours to get in.

What can be said about the door policy? That there is none, I guess. The crowd in the queue, 95 percent men, a few ladies and a few people with unidentifiable gender where all let in. The age varied from around 25 to around 45. There was no special style apart form an wide variety of gay styles, queens, fags and bears ... To be honest, most of the styles where pretty boring. It seemed to me, that a lot of them where just meant to fulfill any gay cliche. There where a few interesting looking people, artistic moustaches and quiffs, but all in all, this was not a fashion place.

The venue contained roughly 350 people. It looked like any random disco club. Black walls and a laser show, a big bar as the heart of the place, TV screens, nothing special, and a garden. Not nice, not stylish, just boring.

But the music was amazing. A wide variety of deep disco styles, from funky 70ies to spacey 80ies, pumping ahead. It's the style of the music and how it is consumed at Horse Meat Disco, that makes the thing special. If people listen to disco music in clubs, it's mostly acquired an unsteady way, if they like a song, they go like crazy and if they don't, they just walk away. But here the way the people reacted, reminded me more of techno clubs. They were just dancing further. Disco dancing, less as a postmodern ironic manner to take the piss out of existence, but more as a way of sustained motion.

After one hour I left the place to meet some friends of my friend from Berlin at another party. If you are not gay, don't go there alone. It's a gay place where everybody can go, but it's meant to be for men to meet other men.

optimo door policy



the multi-talented jd twitch and jg wilkes(a.k.a optimo) are one of the best dj´s in the world. besides educating dancefloors all over the world they´re running a monthly party series called optimo in glasgow´s sub club.
read their door policy, it makes fun!

"Optimo tries to operate the most egalitarian door policy that we can. Recently this has failed, so as of now we will endeavour to make the following work - if you feel it isn't working, please let us know.

From now on NOBODY skips the queue and we mean nobody (if Henrik Larsson or Madonna come down, tough - they can get in line with everyone else). Everyone trying to skip the queue will be informed that they can't and if we find anyone has found a way to sneak in, we will have them barred. The only exceptions to this rule will be people who work with us, Sub Club staff having a night off and on very rare occasions if we have close friends from out of town who we have invited down - for example my sister comes about once every two years so I'm not going to make her queue, but I will make my girlfriend queue!

Also, if you are on the guest list, this will no longer ensure that you get in. If the club is oversubscribed and you are at the back of the queue but on the guest list - tough - you should have got there earlier.

For us, life isn't a popularity contest so we don't care one iota if this pisses anyone off. The people who will moan about this are the people who we couldn't care less whether they were at the club or not. Just because you have been coming to the club for years does not make you superior to someone who has just discovered Optimo.

Hopefully this will work and won't lapse back to the old ways after a few weeks. Hopefully it will make the club a more enjoyable experience for everyone and we can get on with doing what we love doing most - sloppy djing - and not have half our minds worrying about the queue all the time.

One thing you can all do though - if you are in the queue and people are skipping in in front off you, politely tell them to beat it."

40 Years of Plastic People of the Universe and the Prague Spring



The Plastic People of the Universe are a band, founded in Prague 1968, one month after the suppression of the Prague Spring. Their activities where strongly repressed by the communist dictatorship. Nonetheless they did an energetic and obscure interpretation of Psychedelic Rock, most likely to compare to Frank Zappa And The Mothers Of Invention or Captain Beefheart And His Magic Band.
Due to the reason that they where good friends with the former regime critic and later president of Czechoslovakia Václav Havel, they accompanied him 1997 for a state visit in the USA, where they played a concert in the White House.

Psychedelic Rock from Turkey #1



Yes, Barış Manço(* 2nd January 1943; † 1st February 1999) helped me discovering turkish music again. From the end of the sixties till mid seventies there was this extremely creative period called "Anatolian Rock" which was a fusion of psychedelic and progressive elements. Our man Barış Manço was one of the originators.

I´ve chosen "Lambaya püf de" from his wide discography. The lyrics. Oh, So good!
"Puff out the lamp, girl, close the curtain"...but it´s not about what you might think, really!

Schwäbische Punkband in Indonesien

Das ist der Trailer zum nicht mehr ganz neuen Film von Andreas Geiger. Ich habe den Film nicht gesehen, sieht aber sehr interessant aus.



Geiger hat auch »Heavy Metal auf dem Lande« gemacht. Dieser Film ist auf jeden Fall sehr empfehlenswert, zumindest wenn man in Laupheim auf die Schule gegangen ist.

R∆P01



Damit dieser Blogg nicht zum Discoblog verkommt wird hier gleich mal mit den Kidz In The Hall und Driving Down The Block dagegen gesteuert !!! Also Track besorgen, ins Auto und ab auf die Straße. Von diesem Track gibt es auch noch einen guten Remix mit The Cool Kids, Pusha T (Clipse) und Bun B -  alles erhältlich auf dem aktuellen Album The In Crowd. Ach ja, auf der Albumversion von Driving Down The Block ist auch noch Master Ace dabei, der mit seinem 1994 veröffentlichten Hit Born To Roll wohl das Monopol auf BA$$$ im Auto hat.
Weiter lege ich dem Rapinteressierten Bathgate nahe, der mit Pockets Full Of Money gerade meinen persöhnlichen Ohrwurm geliefert hat. Auch sehr empfehlenswert ist der Mann mit dem schönen Namen Izza Kizza, dessen neues Mixtape man "4free" runter laden kann!!!
