Tomorrow I am out of here for two weeks. Yes, holidays. I might post some updates here to provoke some envy but I’ll probably be doing this:

Julie, thank you for the picture!I have to admit: I really love that place. My flatmates just ran off to make their first visit to Cookies but this time I be a good boy and stay home. Science wants me tomorrow. But since the opening party two months ago, I guess I have been there six or seven times and it has always been great. Seeing people I do not normally meet, enjoying the special, hedonistic atmosphere and listening to really great music.

I danced to Sebo K, Acid Maria, Shir Khan, Carsten Kleeman, Clé.. and the sound has majorly improved and now fills the old cinema with bombastic waves of bass and melody. Almost every night there is a band, pretty unknown mostly, deep and sometimes experimental. It’s an interesting climax because after the show, it’s like the party begins. Enjoy some more fotos after the click and that’s enough for the promotion right now.

Yo, I’m on Twitter talking nonsense, add me if you want.

Everybody is so crazy about Scandinavian design, especially in fashion lately, with labels like Acne or Cheap Monday capturing the world in no time. Having lived in Sweden I can confirm that Swedes DO have a lot of style, whether it be skater, lady or lad. It was fantastic living in Linköping (not for the style only, please, of course for the calm and warmhearted people). I also had a punk band there, but that’s another story..

Today I want to recommend Hanna Fridén who runs a blog (and does graphics and works for the magazin Stureplan and so on..) with lots of nice stories and moreover great photos of Stockholm people, fashion and lifestyle. She has also has a very charming writing. Which you can only enjoy if you read Swedish. Ha! No, seriously, I know some people who come here and understand it - Svenskar, var är ni? Säg något, är ni snäll!

This man rocked the club last saturday where I lost two jackets, a scarf and my keys. Good news is: I got it all back! But wow, what a party. Kornél Kovács is only 21 years old, lives in Stockholm and plays clubs like the Spybar or Teatron. We were happy to welcome him here in Berlin - and much more than the welcome I hardly remember.

So it’s a fantastic club, not only because lost things get found, but because of the familial atmosphere. And it’s so secret that I was told not to write anything about it - not even here on this tiny, unimportant blog. Wow. But that’s ok, exclusiveness is a secret to many succesful places.
All I can give you is this pack of stompy techy Stockholm electro tunes, please imagine the blond girls closing their eyes and shaking their hair: Kornél Kovács and his halloween mix and some pictures from the last “Nacht” at Spybar

Roll Deep is probably the most famous Grime crew - Dizzie Rascal was part of it, Whiley still is and they are deeply connected with the pirate radio scene. But despite having sold 60000 units of their first album “In at the deep end” so far, and playing liveshows with people like Snoop Dogg in the UK, Asia, Europe, e.g. Grimetime in Berlin, nobody there can afford a us-rapstarlike lifestyle - the 13 members predominantly still live in East-London’s housing estate “The estate”. Still. That might change. (Click for their new video)

Remember, when I wrote about Gapminder and TED Talks here? Obviously, Google must be reading here and took the article as a solid fundament to purchase the visually statistics analyzing software firm.

And Merlin Bronques goes on and on, travelling the world with his camera and giving the hedonistic youth of today a face. Or: Many, many faces, pretty and sexy.

This time, he obviously met a class of young housewives who practice together. So we have sewing machines, white shirts, glasses, absinth and a deer. Cheers: Mikey’s factory on lastnightsparty.
Here’s more about lastnightsparty on stylewalker.net.

Smells like hits: Swedish producers with their unimitable talent to combine underground and mainstream. Clubtunes, optimized to the maximum sound, bouncy and driving, strange vocal hooks and a shiny neorave design. I hear Candi Staton meet Steve Bug, Detroit Grand Pubahs and French influences like Cassius or Ed Banger - check out The Inflitrators. Fits perfectly to this webfinding: Mikeys party on Last nights party.

HoebotAlso, ich hab die beiden jetzt schon so vielen Leuten gezeigt, es wird Zeit, dass ich die mal verlinke: Die Geschichten von Hoe Bot und Love Bot, zwei nicht unsympathische Roboter, die eine Weile auf StudiVZ unterwegs waren.

“Da uns im Studivz schnell langweilig wurde, begannen wir das System zu ergründen, und herauszufinden was man damit so alles anstellen kann. Die erste Idee war natürlich: Daten sammeln. Also scripteten wir uns einen Crawler, der folgendermaßen funktioniert:”

Man lacht nicht nur, sondern lernt noch einiges dabei: HoeBot und LoveBot bei StudiVZ.

“The team behind always outsiders, never outdone, the unofficial prodigy remixed album, and flip the switch, the unofficial chemical brothers remixed album, have turned their attention to one of their favourite artists of the last few years - lcd soundsystem.”

Papermint ScreenshotThe description could be even more specific: Papermint is in fact Vienna’s alternative to Second Life. The “3D virtual realities design company” Avaloop is creating a virtual Vienna, comicstyle; funny enough, Papermint will be 2D and has a very special look and feel.

“StilinBerlin explores the style of Berlin. We try to document the urban, cosmopolitan and multicultural spirit of the city, we live in. Fashion can describe what a city is, so we take photos of outfits that stand out and capture within them that spirit. We hope you enjoy the Berlin style as much as we do.”

Word - check Stilinberlin!

Nachdem ich einigen Leuten in letzter Zeit das tolle, kostenlose Content Management System Jimdo empfohlen haben, will ich auch diese bescheidene Plattform nutzen, um über dieses wertvolle Tool zu berichten. Jimdo bietet einen ganzen Katalog von Funktionen, Layouts und Einstellungen um ratz-fatz eine Webseite zu erstellen. Navigation, Header, Gästebuch, Bildergalerie mit Slideshow inklusive Upload - ein schönes Bouquet an Seitentypen, mit dem sich schnell eine umfangreiche Seite bauen lässt. Continue >>

Two guys that are not only very respected by me but also by a whole bunch of also very respectable internet people organize an event in Berlin to talk about “living on the net”. Johnny Haeusler (Spreeblick) and Markus Beckedahl (newthinking, netzpolitik) gather many wise und witty heads to talk about culture on the net, the power it can give to people, about blogging, communities, citizen journalism, how to join small pieces, liberate yourself and have a lot of fun doing so. Read about the conference on re-publica.de.

Tom from Musicthing made a nice video of many Daft Punk songs with the according original samples. He, in turn, was inspired by Palms Out Sounds who posted more than ten orginal songs that habe been used by Daft Punk for their hits.

I already liked this first FEX dj set by the hedonistic Parisien and this one’s not an inch worse. On the contrary: Takes you on a journey into the big halls, filled with smoke and strobes and the clubs filled with sweaty people. I have no idea why this kind of reduced minimal still a little trancy deephouse music catches me so much. But it’s definitely something that puts me to another level..
