It’s already that time of the year again… nevertheless… after having DJ 5ter Ton (Massive Töne Disco) and DJ Ayres (The Rub NYC, T&A Records) we take it back to the original cast of Tand Williams & Max Mausser.
And you know what to expect when those two vets get together for a serious YUM YUM carnage. So put on your dancing shoes and bring a friend. Cause friendly is still the key. See you Saturday and don’t forget to RSVP on Facebook.
Buzinga!
The concept of this party is easy – the acts, djs, bands you grew up on, play the music they love NOW. Meaning you have a vivid mix of old and new and a transparency of who the artist really is. People don’t just show up to celebrate the old days but to catch up and see what has become of one. Speaking in musical terms – finding how the sound has developed – how much variety and openness one brings to the table and of course celebrating the old to the new. And what better time then shortly before christmas, when everyones home during the daytime and out to kick it with old buddies at night.
Kickoff is with the Massive Töne Disco, who in my opinion were among the few german hiphop bands i could play in my regular sets – meaning american, french and british music. They brought a certain freshness to the table which was lacking from so many bands in germany at that time, but things have changed and only judging by how much these guys have gotten involved into new music, their recent trip throughout the African continent – one guy being one half of electronic producers BASS ILL EURO, one of them doing all the Portuguese/Angolan stuff and so forth. You see these guys separately and combined are where its at. If you are into Hiphop or not doesn’t matter, because they cover it all with style and grace. Ecclectic at its best.
To support them, we have 2 YUM YUM veterans to back them up – local Max Mausser, who has by now built a reputation to play the most soulful tunes, packed in a oldschool party vibe and floor Big Room Don and other half of BASS ILL EURO: dj Passion.
Facts: This Friday, December 18th @ the new P1 (thats right)/ doors open 11pm.
Here’s an old track to send you back down memory lane – this is from 99 and called Chartbreaker. Still to this day i am feeling the sample and the hook – thats what makes up a classic, N’est-ce pas?

i don’t know how this song made its way on my lapper, but it goes down a storm every time i play it. 2008s most played pop tune gets the dubstep remix and – honestly – this is the only way left to play this tune. ps @ all djs – dubsteps real nice, but do not make your dubsteps breaks – and honestly thats what it mostly is in ecclectic sets – too long. it often takes away from the energy – the unexpected breakdown and an in your face rawness has a way more dramatic effect on the floor – then constantly staying on one tempo.
sorry BS – that goes for any dj and any sound, not just dubstep. i hate nights that are either 130bpm or 100bpm or whatever. 2010s approaching – Wake up!

i played all these tunes last saturday @ YUM YUM Berlin – full review coming soon. but seriously – just three quick tunes that you shouldnt miss out on, and you can add to your playlists, for those christmas days when you finally get a rest from all the crap and can kick back with some weed, a new video game or a good book. i’m going for all three of these plus some booze.
A Twelves mix of Yelle – can’t go wrong with that:

Another soul classic get the no-brainer retreat by our man Maxey from Barcelona, not too lessen the mix – useful catch for all the soul lovers, espec since it samples the Sam Cooke live version (@Maxey useful Gem bro):

And of course anything discoesque (is that a word?) with a Passion Pit sample goes, somewhat tired of Disco these days, but hey a good tunes a good tune and this is a fine mix by my favourites Hey Champ – these guys always deliver the goods (ps @Hey Champ – you should have seen the crowd reaction last time i dropped this):

Super Cat got me into Reggae – here is the promised 2nd part to some of his music and some songs from his early 90ies album “Don Dada”, which i caught a glimpse of while i was in NY in 93/94. Flex was on the radio, Souls of Mischief proclaimed the year to be timeless, Black Moon had everyone open and Wu-Tang was the word of the year. I mean Nas “Illmatic” came out early/mid 94 and Queen Latifahs “U.N.I.T.Y” was one of the best promoted albums and tracks i had ever seen. The best party was Phunky Buddha at Nells a proper hipster crowd (hipsters in the early 90ies was something completely different), Jackie 60 had some legendary Acid Jazz nights, the Tunnel was a rowdy hiphop crowd on Wednesdays and the Lions Den had some amazing Reggae afternoons – and my reggae mixtapes were bought at 555Soul. Actually i was a massive fan of the Cat but as soon as his hiphop mixes caught on – man, i was hooked. Have fun kids.

Here are the hiphop mixes that i am playing every now and then up to this day. but i think they were in 92 – not really sure and too lazy to look up the record sleeves. Ps recognize the sample on Dolly my Baby? Herbie Hancocks “Watermelon Man”. Chocolate breadcrumbs on the way down memory lane.

jazzed-out backpackerism with a real soulful sample. perfect for your trip back to the young nineties or early stones throw days. “Lemonade was a popular drink and it still is, i get more stunts and props than bruce willis”
