The awesome dj mix by Applebim, one of the heroes of this year’s greatest party at Berghain, Substance, which he produced for the RA podcast series (click for tracklist) is unfortunately not online there anymore. You can still get it, though, it’s a masterpiece! Download Applebim’s RA podcast at uploaded.to.

And here, we have A LOT of music: ALL BBC One Essential mixes. It’s also a little sad. How can you EVER enjoy so much music? My favourite essential mixes are the ones done by Skream and Lindström with Prins Thomas.

This weekend in Berlin will see art, music, politics and overall a mashup of all: Friday night will see Substance, the biggest Dubstep party on the European continent so far, at Berghain, there is the big art festival Videoakt on friday and saturday where Stylewalker’s going to spin, and on sunday people living in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg have the chance to cast their votes for or against the urban development project Mediaspree.

“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.

Picture from his MyspaceNow Jack Tennis not only has sympathetic glasses but is also a great dj who likes to rock crowds. Well, you’d say, is this not something any DJ likes? And again, I say, Jack Tennis REALLY likes to rock the crowd.

Here we have some nice neo-discoish remixes by this handsome scoundrel from Berlin. Together with Shir Khan and Supermarket they team up as Berlin Battery, play at parties and release remixes on the net. So, for frequent updates of his work, check Berlin Battery.

In a techno city like Berlin, Innercity, a regular club night held by the Innervisions crew (read about it at taz) used to be the haven of groovy and soulful club music, from old to new, from disco to house. Headed by Dixon with many guests over the years, Innervisions at Week-End was a sure standard in the club scene for elegant party goers.

On Saturday January 19th, Innervisions celebrated their third birthday and at the same time their last party at Week-end. As a thank you, they gave away a free CD to all of the party guests - and it’s brilliant. Starts with very slow and dreamy funk tunes, moving into more minmal housy tunes, featuring I:Cube, Château Flight and Martin Buttrich. (The RA-forum knows where you might get a copy from the net), here is a snippet:

Also very nice in a very similar area nowadays called ‘bit hop’ is my man Ben Mono, who just released a new mixtape: Ben Mono in L.A.

That guy. Producing like a maniac (first record coming out on one of the hottest labels in electronic music: Liebe*Detail) and again here is one of his intriguing, take-me-away mixes with lots of groove and soul and deepness. Enjoy Patrick Gräsers “Breathless” Mix, soon he’ll be on tour with Theo Parrish and Robert Owens.

Get it at Stylewalker’s drop.io!

While I am almost off to Leipzig to attend the Lorna-night at Sweat with Patrick Gräser, I would like to recommend to all the poor souls who have to be in Berlin AGAIN my party list and this übercool, poppy and minimal mix, by Bohemiaz, picked up at Project Afterhour.

I wrote about Justice (long time ago, I think: before the hype) and Fabric in London, now here’s the perfect mix: Justice Rejected Fabric mix, via The fastlife (you can also find the playlist there). According to Urb, Fabric did not want to release this mix, instead they sent it to friends. Thanks! Very hard to imagine this soft, poppy discoish and very singalong style at Fabric but it’s GRRREATTT!
For all pop-fans: Tuesday at Maria (Berlin): Robyn!

Tomorrow he’ll be playing at Tresor at the “We are”-labelnight. Check out what Suzi Wong has to say about it and listen to a mix done at Harry Klein in Munich [via Minimal Mixe]

“trocken, minimal und vorallem schwedisch wirds morgen im Tresor. Das Malmoer Label „We Are” ist gleich mit 2 seiner Artists angerückt, die heiligen Hallen zu bespielen. Labelowner Agaric wird zeigen, dass er nicht nur gute Platten produzieren, sondern auch genau so begnadet an den Turntables rocken kann. Mikael Stavöstrand holt live (und hoffentlich analog) seine Livepeitsche raus. Aua, ist das geil!”

Check out this and all the rest of the going out in Berlin underground party list!

E-Cards are boring? Check out the Hobnox Ecard tool and have a rappin xmas.

Und wer für Heiligabend noch so einen richtig schön verspulten Minimal Techhouse-Mix braucht, sollte sich mal diesen Projekt Afterhour Mix besorgen:

“Grsr” is a fat piece of deep and driving, restless housemusic. Dark and creepy sometimes, yet swinging itself up to optimistic heights, scaping sounds with all preciseness and excellence of a club connaisseur who lets people travel with him on a journey at night.

Enough talk, enjoy Patrick’s “Grser”, finally, he is back on the scene with a new masterpiece.

Download Patrick Gräsers “Grser” mix.

What a name. Harrison Schaaf. Considering that “Schaf” in German in “sheep” and taking into account that sheep normally are very quiet (unless there’s a dog chasing them around..) and frugal animals, this is a total contradiction.

Via thefastlife comes this very powerful mix by the guy that Palms Out named “the next Kavinsky”. It’s eighties, it’s RAP, it’s a little cheesy synthie stuff, it’s not minimal at all, but boosts out with lots of glow and sweat. Get Schaaf’s “Gigantic mix” on Zshare.

Just flew in via Myspace, here’s a new mix by Berlin based DJ Cotumo, I very much dig. It’s fluffy, a little trippy and percussive but not too much of one thing. I guess you can call it Minimal..

Hi bio says: “Inspired by artists like Matthew Herbert, Akufen and Metro Area, Johannes began thinking about sharing his music through playing in Clubs. Nowadays Cotumo plays at Netlag, Pulsar, Pentagonik, Klangsucht, Süss&Sauer partys and at a variety of festivals and clubs in and around Berlin. After playing in London in 2006 he is aiming to Wales, Turin and Zuerich. He is also organizing his own party series ‘Club der Dilettanten’ with his cousin, known as µ~, where 15 DJs play 5 of their most loved records.”

The Fast Life knallen mir einen ziemlichen geilen Diplomix rüber, der mir ziemlich gut reinläuft: Diplo - Pitchforkmix Mix Vol 2!

Must have been a great party, last saturday at Ballhaus Ost. Delikat rocked the house and many rocked with them.

Here is their original message: ” Was für ein geiles Fest …war das denn? …Ich sag nur: „extrem Möbelrücken“!
Danke an die DELIKATen Gäste und vielen Helfer, die das Ballhaus verrückt gerückt haben - Andreas”

So as a big thanks they put a veeery cool, surprising, trippy and funky (”rock the house ya!”) mix on the net, garnished with nice popy samples and fine melodies, broken with strange effects. Great!
Hüftschwinger Bone in the mix:

Yo! Let’s start the week with a massive banger set full with energy. It’s DJ Kolt Siewers, holding it up for the Cologne drum & bass heads - this is my favourite mix from all his mixes on his kolt-siewerts site. Here, he combines the best tunes of 2004 in a very versatile, soulful but still aggressive set.

Kolt Siewerts - 2004 Driveby:

I was a bit unlucky on Berlin festival, cause I had a little accident with my bike (looking forward to having the scars) and thus missed the best parts of the festival: friday night at Tape and saturday afternoon with Go!team, Peaches and Uffie. Friday afternoon and saturday night, while I attended, seemed to be a constant going away from some place rather than a coming to. Continue >>

Having come back from Melt! and recovering from some serious partying I apologize for the silence here. I actually have some serious work to do! So while I try to put some internet things into order and catch up with the tons of user comments and blogentries concerning the Melt-festival (which you will have to read later) I can only recommend this masterpiece of a deep, heavy and heady mixtape by Alhaca, celebrating the release of their album “Family business”. (You can nicely listen to and buy their heavy funky urban tracks on finetunes e.g.)

Download Al Haca mixtape “Fightclub”
It features one of my alltime favourite records and actually one of the firsts I ever bought: la funk mob – motor bass get phunked up. Massive!

Gerade über Myspace reinbekommen, ein schön fluffiger, housiger, unaufgeregter Techmix, der mich schön im Hintergrund durch Internetrundgänge, Recherchen und Textarbeit begleitet.

A3000 mixt für Delikat, die ihr Party- und Künstlerimperium weiter ausbauen.

Nach dem Klick gibts einen tollen Film der Delikat-Crew, die eine lange Partynacht von der Vorbereitung bis zum Piercingzungenschlag in wenigen Minuten zusammenfasst.

Picture by Warp recordsWeekend come, thank god it’s friday, parties all over Berlin, hard to mention them all, let me just recommend one plaze: Pokerflat Night at Watergate, my pal Patrick Gräser is going to play there, straight techhouse music, deep and funky.

But here’s for something totally different: Since I am back from London I have been infected again by the massive dub, breaks and step virus. One thing definitely feeds this disease is Skream’s essential dubstep mix from this june on BBC One presented by Pete Tong.

Going out in London is a special thing. More special than in Berlin where going out is something casual, normal and cheap, while in London it’s a celebration. Berlin is great because everybody is just hanging out, having a chilled time, with no stress at all. Can be a little dull because of that too . If you reach a certain limit there is no further, it seems.

London is speed, business, danger, money. And when people go out there, they let loose and forget about their shitty service or administration jobs, they don’t care about the money, they just want to have a good time.

Achja, by the way, die Elektroaktivisten (formerly known as Drogensumpf) haben ein paar nette Sonar 07 Sets ausgegraben, unter anderem Beastie Boys, Chateau Flight (after listening to most of the mixes, this is the best imho..), Jeff Mills, Dave Clark und Uffie & Feadz!

John DahlbäckWow, heute sind aber eine Menge Konzerte in der Stadt. Mando Diao, Smashing Pumpkins und Justin Timberlake! Letzterer hat angeblich auch das Week-End gemietet, um dort eine anständige After-Show Party zu feiern. Die passende Musik dazu wäre sicher John Dahlbäcks Mix aus dem Stockholmer Teatron. Technoid, funky, kratzig, treibend, überraschend. Ein tolles Set, das hervorragend hierher passt.

Yes! It’s done, next to me lies a big book and I can’t believe I have written it. Last night, at 2am, my laptop took his last breath and stopped to cooperate with the power supply. I knew I had only a limited time left to finish the thesis and I saw the display going like “you have 40 minutes left” - “you have 20 minutes left” - “you have 10 minutes left”. I had never typed that fast. The laptop turned off one second after copying the latest version on a memory stick. Phew..

Thank you so much everybody who helped me and supported me (thx for the comments!), especially Nici, Chrissie, Pit, Max and Jana! You are great!!

So, here are two mixes to support my current mood, both come Kitsuné, the übercool French disco house new rave pop label. One is the promo mix for the new Digitalism album and the other is a mix from the new Kitsune collection Masion Kitsuné 4.

Digitalism Promo mix:(this is more like: F**ing YEAH! ITS OVER!! BANG YOUR HEAD!!!

Kitsuné Maison 4 Promo mix:(this ones more like: Cool. Now I can sit in the sun and have a coffee. Easy.)
