Protest with Hellsongs: We’re not gonna take it

When Hellsongs played their showcase at Hoppetosse two weeks ago, this song was one of the most beautiful and sums up pretty well the idea behind Hellsongs: To take powerful metal songs including the message and transform them into sensitive acoustic indie music.

In the case of the following video, the message is: protest! The best moment is from minute 3:00 when a tiny fist becomes a very powerful and by being so tiny, even more impressive symbol. Unfortunately, the very insisting introduction speech by singer Harriet Ohlsson is missing in video when she talked about Burma. Especially in such a situation of absolute powerlessness towards injustice it is a good feeling to at least raise your fist together..

Put your hands together with Luciano on Ibiza

Luciano “Podemos hablar tu y yo un minuto? Tranquilo? Viniste sola? Te gusta bailar? Vamos a bailar.. Ah, sí, me gusta. Tus movimientos me inspiran.. Como te llamas? Te podía ofrecer una.. Mi nombre es Buen Pachanga”. This is how this absolute Mediterranean set by Luciano starts, directly from Ibiza and you can literally feel the sand in between your dancing toes. It’s all about deep and a little trancy grooves, a slow bass drum and some screams in the background. Summer can be so untroubled.

Stylewalker at Funkpark tomorrow

Funkpark BerlinFunkpark / Rechenzentrum is one of Berlin’s most interesting locations right now. Situated right by the water, a little south-east from Treptower park, it is a beautiful outdoor area, with volleyball pitches, beach, little huts, bars and lots of sand. And during the weekends, the party moves to the indoor location Rechenzentrum, equipped with an impressive sound system.

Tomorrow, I have the big honor to play some tunes from 18h, then watch THE game (Ronaldo, I want to see you cry. Again.) and play on a little. So, please come around, find a map below. You can ride the bike from Ostkreuz (10min) or take the bus 21 from Frankfurter Tor, Bersarinplatz, Boxhagenerplatz and Ostkreuz (exit Markgrafendamm, then some meters to the right towards the crossing) stopping at Köpenickerchaussee/Blockdammweg. There’s a map after the click:

4 Thesen zur Überlebenskunst des Fernsehens!

Totgesagte leben länger, und was kratzt es überhaupt die Eiche. Nur weil ein paar Internetheinis nur noch sporadisch zappen, aber natürlich trotzdem die EM-Spiele schauen und natürlich trotzdem wissen, was GNTM bedeutet, ist das TV noch lange nicht tot. Wir reden hier über eine Industrie, die Milliarden umsetzt, die wird sich nicht einfach wegmarginalisieren lassen. Fragen wir lieber, was aus dem Fernsehen wird. Oder fragen wir noch lieber, was das Wort “Fernsehen” in ein paar Jahren bedeuten wird.

The next edition, called “Calor 08” will take place at the hotel “Chic & basic” in Calle Princesa 50, this Saturday, June 14th, from 11 AM to 9 PM. On the website you will find many slideshows with pictures from past shows.
