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

Clubdocumentation reloaded

April 27, 2006 on 2:53 pm by Thomas | In Berlin Scene, Music | 2 Comments

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 ZMFPhotocredit: 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!

April 21, 2006 on 11:53 am by Thomas | In Music, Webfindings | 1 Comment

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

April 20, 2006 on 2:14 pm by Thomas | In Berlin Scene, Music, Webfindings | 23 Comments

Sven FäthFoto 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!

Snippet taken from this years Time Warp festival, 08.04.2006 in Mannheim:

Update: Here’s a video of Richie Hawtin and Sven Väth dancing, lost in reverie, topless to Ibiza tunes.. Continue >>

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

April 16, 2006 on 5:39 pm by Thomas | In How to | Say something!

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

April 13, 2006 on 9:57 pm by Thomas | In Berlin Scene, DJ mixes, Music | 3 Comments

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:

Tonight: Party Arty!

April 13, 2006 on 10:25 am by Thomas | In Berlin Scene, Friends, Music | 2 Comments

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”:

Party Arty @ Lovelite Thu 13april Simplonstr. 38/40 Berlin-Friedrichshain

Movies and music

April 10, 2006 on 12:33 pm by Thomas | In Movies, Music | 1 Comment

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”

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

April 6, 2006 on 4:37 pm by Thomas | In Stylewalker | 1 Comment

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 >>

Techno is alife

Landsky P3P..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!

“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:
