Espantapitas: Berlin – Barcelona
May 16, 2007 on 9:16 pm by Thomas | In Berlin Scene, Music, Stylewalker | Say something!
Für Kurzentschlossene: Heute abend findet das Espantapitas Festival im Sage Club statt. Auf sieben Bühnen gibt es Musik unterschiedlichster Couleur, aber mit der kosmopolitsch mediterranen Prägung Barcelonas mit Livebands und DJs von Latin, Dub, Breakbeat, Jazz und Elektronik. (u.a. mit Bar Xino! Schade, dass Catalounge nicht dabei sind, die würden hervorragend passen.)
I am glad I took the long way to Hospitalet yesterday – because the concert was great. These guys are stars to come, they are so hot! Good music and a solid fanbase. An energetic show and a variety of songs. If I get the chance to see them, I will definetely go again!
That’s why I added them to the “Stylewalker artists” – people I like and I want to help with promoting their music.
Watch two videos and 15 fotos I made and read a short review about the concert in the following! Continue >>
Stylewalker are those I like and support.
“..who is just the most pumping, deep and consequent club DJ. Everybody danced until 5 o´clock in the morning..”
Patrick is from Berlin and plays records as a DJ for ten years now. He has paramount technical skills, a sense for his audience and a great taste for contemporary minimal tech house music with funk.
He plays in clubs like Sternradio and No Ufos and festivals like “Sonne, Mond, Sterne”.
Listen to his april deep tech house mix!
Listen to his Basic mix!
it’s dark but it’s okay
we are inspired by the gritty the rough and the pure. we believe in the basics, good moves and the plurality of the soul; a clean clear pure energy; an infinate illuminated universe;
star dust to star dust.
(nothing else can tickle blood quite the way the disco does)
Catalounge is Electro Mestizaje. A very broad and versatile mix of all sorts of lounge, drum’n’bass, down and breakbeat spheres with snippets of guitars, minimal vocals and insistent lyrics by singer Iván. Their live performances are legendary in Barcelona: They take their audience on a journey from triphoppy and spheric sounds to massive guitar walls, turning the crowd into a hysteric moshpit.
They just produced an EP with Gambeat, Manu Chao’s and Mano Negra’s bass player and are currently planning a tour in Germany.
Listen to the more loungy song “Agua Zero”:
Outernationals
Live Nujazz and Drum’n’Bass from Amsterdam.
Versatile, sophisticated, soulful and loungy tunes and loops, live instrumented with bass, piano and drums. The three professional musicians use their musical abilities not to show off but to create a carpet woven of jazzy, loungy and danceable sounds. Every gig is different, like a session. Guest musicians are welcome as a show is supposed to be unique and always memorable.
Listen to a live session!
Catalounge in Cold Russian Barcelona
January 27, 2006 on 10:52 pm by Thomas | In Barcelona Life, Friends, Music | Say something!
The nordic cold is coming down to Barcelona and we are surprised with nasty cold and windy rain. Yesterday, I had ice in my hair!
Well, concerning that back in Berlin they have their river frozen, it is still pretty cozy.
Anyway, this does not really lift my mood for going to a conncert. Even less, when it is like a journey with the metro, but I really want to see them. Their name is Catalounge and the reason I want to go basically is that I met one of the musicians at Bread and butter and we had very good time working the cables there..
Their concept is nice (and pretty fashionable as well, I must admit): “Electro mestizaje” – It’s a very broad and versatile mix of all sorts of lounge, drum’n’bass, down and breakbeat spheres with snippets of guitars and minimal vocals. I especially liked their track
Encantador de serpientes.
Tonight they play in Hospitalet which is not exactly Barcelona, but I’ll still go. They better be good!! I wanted to go tomorrow but the police shut down the place where they were supposed to play. Man, Barcelona really is getting conservative..
