pretty awesome i’d say, them guys got good taste.
This Thursday its time to get down to the very first regular Top Friend Issue down @ Erste Liga with me and Dj Beware (YUM YUM Vienna/ FM4). We have had some kind of dj try outs for the time since we opened (i think 12 different djs) and now the set dj crew is established and done experimenting, some simply couldnt cut it – we’ve had a couple of nights where the djs mistook this spot for a cheap bmore club or couldn’t even play a nice warm-up, or even had the misfortune of playing during the Beerfest. Well all thats sorted now. The music policy we have in mind for T F will be displayed on the new mixtapes, which will soon come out and find its way through the webs to you – or will be handed out physically at the Party.
Djs: Me and Beware – besides both running our own YUM YUM outfits, me in Munich and him in Vienna – share a passion for all kinds of music. Come down to witness the original Top Friend sound and make this another biggie to go down, only real place to go to on a Thursday night and the only one with musical essence and backbone. Make sure to show up early or you might end up like the guys on the picture below.

Some of our favourite tunes at present
[audio:http://www.chromemusic.de/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/You-Got-the-Love-The-xx-Rmx.mp3]Florence & the Machine “You Got the Love (The xx Rmx)” – the TUNE right now!
Chromeo – Night By Night (Skream Remix) – another Monster version of Chromeos retro sounding disco boogie tune, courtesy of the UKs latest rising star, Skream – love the 80ies feel. Mans pushing the boundaries every which way.
For the rest of you guys playing – Rss readers do not necessarily make the music better – more options means more decisions, means better quality control. And this is where the individual counts. Wake up
VV Brown covers the lonely stoner on her bed – nice..

Here’s a video of them performing both songs accoustically in an elevator. The song are not new or anything – just thought to have it up on the site if you haven’t checked out the band yet. Crytalized by now is one of this years anthems and Stars is even more mellow and of the same caliber – love these tunes.

[audio:http://www.chromemusic.de/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/kidcudimakehersaysammybananas.mp3]First let me say this: WE have NOT MOVED to Kongresshalle. We are just having two dates at that spot, since Registratur is throwing their KONGRESS nights there – but only every now and then – GET IT?
The last Saturday was a nice dance and loads of people turned up as you can see from the pictures, but i am and always will be straight forward when it comes to saying how i/we feel about certain things.
A lotta things were in no way YUM YUM. let me list them down: a.) the lights were too “big room disco” for us. b.) no second room/ top friend area – for a solid 10€ is not fair. c.) it was too nice – big room fix again. d.) we dj’s were playing down “on” the people – from some throne-like stand. Again, not cool, not YUM YUM like and certainly something for big-headed superstars. e.) One of the most important things – we started to late. The band started way too late which pushed everything backwards. I know you hiked to the spot just to be kept waiting and take away from our playtime – which our people payed for – not fair again! Which ended in the dj’s being pissed of, having to pick up from where the live show left em. Which resulted in similar sets, since everyone was going for the sureshots.
We will do a second date @ Kongress – BUT – ONLY if these things are FIXED. We have discussed these matters with Registratur already.
I know often at times i am too critical of everything, including myself, but thats the way it is – and there’s no progress if you only point out the good things. It was an amazing dance – An incredible mass of people turned up – one week after the Oktoberfest – and one day after Boyz Noize – and they had a BALL!! The location is real nice, IF its done nice.
THANK YOU FOR MAKING IT HAPPEN – SEE YOU BACK SOON ON OCTOBER 31ST @ STROKE.
