Was ihr schon immer über die Freiheit des Netz wissen wolltet

By Thomas On 21/5/2013 · Add Comment
arte Web doku Die großartige arte-Dokumentation "Die wilden Wurzeln des World Wide Web" verlangt vom Zuschauer einiges an Konzentration. Denn sie macht die ganz große Kurve von den Anfängen des Netz als Underground-Hacker-Hippie-Spielzeug bis zu den heutigen Verteilungs- und Regulierungskämpfen. Freie Software, Hacker Spaces, Politik, 3D Drucker, Überwachung, Internet of things, Urheberrecht, es kann einem ganz schwindelig werden. Aber sie ist sehr gut gemacht und unterhaltsam, auch wenn man noch nicht so tief in die Thematik über die Freiheit des Internets eingestiegen ist. Schaut diese Doku!

Spreepark Festival

By Thomas On 12/5/2013 · Add Comment
I am very looking forward to next weekend's highlight here in Berlin: The XX's festival "Night and day". Taking place in the legendary Spreepark, an abandoned theme park with many historical fun rides which are slowly breaking apart. What a great scenery for a festival!

Underachievers

By Thomas On 1/5/2013 · Add Comment
New favorite hip hop crew: the Underachievers. They are young but their sound is somewhat timeless. A little Golden Era, a little conscious school, some reduced modern effects. Very laid back, very lyrical, very simple but very compelling. I've been listening to their mixtape "Indigoism" several times and it's become a good friend, like someone you know well but always hope to find out more about.

Ein Fotobuch für mehr sauberes Wasser

By Thomas On 16/4/2013 · Add Comment
Blattkunst Viva Con Agua"Licht ins Dunkel" ist ja immer eine schöne Metapher für alle möglichen karitativen Anlässe. In diesem Fall ist der Spruch aber gut gewählt, denn es geht um ein Fotoprojekt, das mit Porträts in der Dunkelheit arbeitet. Die Meta-Ebene ist eins der größten Probleme der Welt: Sauberes Wasser. Dahinter stecken der Fotograf Kai Effinger und die Organisation Viva Con Agua, die zusammen ein Fotobuch und eine Ausstellung mit den oben beschriebenen Porträts machen wollen. Die Erlöse aus dem Verkauf fließen wieder in Wasserprojekte zu. Außerdem dabei sind eine Reihe Künstler, wie die Orsons, Samy Deluxes Tsunami Band oder Ganjaman, die sich alle schon fotografieren ließen.

Kensaye, a French producer in London

By Thomas On 26/3/2013 · 1 Comment
kensaye-producer I get a lot of music submissions for this blog and often I know from the way the mail is written that I am not going to be interested. This case was different. The mail was personal and concise and by the producer himself. His name is Kensaye and he writes: "My name is Kensaye, I am a French producer based in London, UK. I focus on soul/hip-hop/electro/chill music and I release material from time to time. I'm unsigned and independent."

Great video, great DJ premier sound

By Thomas On 12/3/2013 · Add Comment
Bildschirmfoto 2013-03-12 um 11.29.49 You know it's a DJ Premier song after two bars. Here is another great track he produced for Joey Bada$$ and it just sounds as oldschooly and warm as we love it. Bada$$ has a great, laid back, hypnotic way to rap like Nas in his good times. Now add some superb video artists to make an outstanding visual representation and a new classic is born. Enjoy "Unorthodox":

Testing Traktor for iPad

By Thomas On 7/3/2013 · 411 Comments
trakor_ipad_app-1 Finally, Native Instruments released an app for the ipad called "Traktor DJ". Since Traktor is the widest used DJ software and the ipad has so much to offer to manipulate music with its interface the expectations were extremely high. And they didn't fail. The price of 18 EUR is ok for what you get and after reading the first reviews and I instantly had to download and try it.

Human Powered Freerunning Machine

By Thomas On 13/2/2013 · 201 Comments
Bildschirmfoto 2013-02-13 um 18.21.37 I love these Rube Goldberg machine videos which show chain reaction of moving things. A ball falling down, hitting a bucket, turning a swing, breaking a bottle, releasing a gas and so on. Here is one which combines free running aka parcours with a gigantic setup of a machine. You'll see people being shot at and fired in the air, jumping off roofs, bathed in cold water and gigantic towers falling. Starring the freerunning champion Jason Paul.

Kryptic Minds Fabric Mix

By Thomas On 7/2/2013 · 205 Comments
feature-timoutYears ago my friend Tom Dicicco, who was an upcoming producer then and now a regular guest at Berghain, told me about Kryptic Minds. "They are reeeeealy good", he said, with a knowing nod, as if he knew they were going to be that big as they are now.

Alma

By Thomas On 4/2/2013 · 196 Comments
Bildschirmfoto 2013-02-04 um 16.40.20 Es ist eine schockierende, verstörende und bedrückende Lebensbeichte, die Alma in dieser Dokumentation ablegt. Sie sitzt vor der Kamera und erzählt von ihrer Vergangenheit als Gangmitglied der Maras in Guatemala. Sie spricht, zittert, weint, fasst sich wieder, versinkt in sich. Die Geschichte beginnt mit ihrem ersten Mord, danach erzählt sie von ihrer Kindheit, wie sie in die Gang kam, von ihrem Alltag mit Schutzgelderpressungen und Drogendeals, von Liebe, Flucht, Rückkehr und dem Versuch auszusteigen.

The truth about focus groups

By Thomas On 24/1/2013 · 136 Comments
Bildschirmfoto 2013-01-24 um 18.43.04
If you work in communication you know this situation. "Focus groups" are people picked by an advertising or market research agency who represent customers. They are put in a room to share ideas about a product, a design or a campaign. They are meant to find out "insights" and feedback to test the marketability, but in fact, most of the time they are like shown in the video after the click.

Bristol. City in the south of England. Home of so called Trip Hop and the drum n bass scene around Krust and Roni Size. Home of some of my favorite producers like Peverelist, Hyetal, Applebim or Pinch. In this video you'll meet some of them. From 2011 but still good.

I recorded this mixtape a while ago, inspired by my stay at Outlook festival. It's called "Massive e Sharif". Massive as in big and voluminous, living bass lines and Sharif as in noble protectors of the tribe for elegant grooves and sophisticated rhythms. Enjoy.

Subsequently he becomes the first artist to have a record reach number one on the charts while serving a prison sentence. Also, he wrote a screenplay and got married while imprisoned.

MR-808: When digital goes analog and back

By Thomas On 24/10/2012 · 111 Comments
How cool is that?! Here is a "real" drum machine inspired by the legendary TR-808. A "drum robot" which consists of a complete drum set built in a big box, with each instrument being triggered by Ableton. So, what started to be the first digital drum becomes analog and goes back in the digital loop. Hard to understand? Watch this video.
