The Streets

By chrome May 24, 2010

Mike Skinner is one of those guys in the business who`ve always been confronted with superficial opinions. As the British Hip Hop doesn`t sound like the stuff you know from the Billboard Charts, ignorant people, often degradet The Streets to simple Pop music. Skinner didn`t mind and kept it real, ’cause the only way to make honestly music is to make music you are really into, otherwise it`s crap. Thanks Mike Skinner for sentences like “Don’t give them what they think they want just give them what they need…” because you know what we really need. Honesty.

chromemusic pres: CHIDDY BANG live in Munich this Sunday

By chrome May 17, 2010

check out their mighty nice video of “Kids”

Yes hands down, i am really looking forward to seeing these guys live. I found out about Chiddy Bang, i’d say about a year and a half ago, maybe longer. Not much after that, Xaphoon the producer started sending me promo mp3s of their latest tunes and mixtapes – you know how that game goes. And its really good to see them get around a bit internationally – not only on tour, but to currently reach the UK Charts and also the German Charts, cause not only to me are they probably the coolest new hip hop band around. Their sound is different, they sample Radiohead, Hot Chip, MGMT add some fine synth sounds and have some really nice rhymes on top…..and thats exactly how they made it on May 2009 mixtape YUM YUM Vol. 9.

So this Sunday they are playing live – for the first time in Germany !!! (like Stromae did @ YUM YUM in Berlin) – come down to see them perform live this Sunday in munich, i really wanted them to play live @ YUM YUM but we simply couldn’t find any matching dates. Anyways, thank god Mondays a holiday so this is gonna be a long night with my peoples Max Mausser & D-Nice taking over the turntables after the show and making it a great Sunday night venue. This is gonna be massive

Sallie Ford & the Sound Outside “Danger”

By chrome May 10, 2010

The moment i heard this tune i was hooked on this bands sound. Hard to describe… feels like something out of time, and no words can ever describe a feeling, at best those words are signposts. So i am not even gonna try, give it a listen and do as i did and buy their highly recommandable EP “Not an Animal” right here via paypal (its just 5 bucks anyway!). This bands gonna go places. I feel the sun shining through in their music, i feel like sippin a cold lemonade under a summer tree near the lake… and seriously it has such an open and positive vibe (aargh words again) – Simply love this band.

Here is one tune: (remeber to get the rest)

next YUM YUM in Munich on May 28th @ Stroke

By chrome May 10, 2010

Next YUM YUM in munich will be on Fr May 28th @ Stroke 02, the Urban Art exhibition. This date has been fixed half a year ago and the lineup is really nice, with the venue being breathtaking. The building is the old bavarian national bank and there are 3 floors. The Main Floor will be the YUM YUM floor with Me (chrome), Max & Not fx playing alongside. The 2nd floor will be the top Friend floor with Dj Beware & Solo from the UK. If you haven’t heard about Solo yet, damn.. its your own fault. A live gig will come along by the name of Ladey Daisey, a new signing on BBE Rec. Think Joss Stone when she started out on some really soulful, beats, fell in love with LD’s music online and booked her right away. Floor 3 will be a chillout lounge run by some old friends of ours. Really looking ffwd to a fully planned night at an incredible venue. Think YUM YUM Summerfest last year. Gonna be massive..

So no YUM YUM munich this week & WHY WE ARE STILL GONNA WAIT BEFORE WE START AT PUERTO GIESING:

A word about Puerto Giesing: this time we have the upper hand and we are gonna wait a few parties before we move in, until the location works properly. The place is nice – we know it – but we are not gonna start doing parties in that place until the situation with the bars is worked out, the waiting line at the door is reduced, the coat check works efficently, the right people work there etc (also the legal situation is still somewhat greyish to me). At some of our recent off -locations we have had similar issues . and we figured it would be best to wait for Puerto Giesing to get it all under control before we start doing our thing. We were intended to do a party this weekend, but last saturdays one-off showed that the place isn’t fully ready…. MAIN REASON: Let the other guys do the try-outs before our guests and YUM YUM people have to suffer from this. This time let all the ravers, the ellen aliens, dj hells and so forth do the try outs. We pull more people then them so let them do the dirty work first. We did it before for them (remember registratur), so – it’s only fair brother. And we we care about our people.

nice seein Rich Medina after a decade!!!

By chrome May 10, 2010

thats Rich on the right side, whom i havent seen for a good ten years! the other man is impressive rap talent slash rapper slash fellow tech nerd, Cool-aide. Seriously not much i have to offer on this post but for those of you who have never heard of Rich, there is a soundbyte/video below and his various social connects. And i must say i have met a lot of positive people in my time and its always nice to reconnect with them – you always attract what you are. Rich has been busy as always – growing and glowing, and besides working with Q-tip and what not, his pride and joy is his little 2 year old kid who is getting all Joe Chambers on the drums, and daddy lets him use the cdjs (of course not the vinyl – still carrying that to the altar – lol) @Richmedina – here is a tune i remixed/did some time back, just to keep updating each other from now.my man.
