YUM YUM & Friends – Huuuge NYE Party in munich

By chrome December 25, 2009

First time ever Munich made it happen. All the major & relevant parties combined, coming together for an awesome NYE. Everybody has their own room, soundsystem and dancefloor instead of making it a big mess – like the huge places normally do. Make sure t0 come down – this is gonna be awesome. The very First time Munich manages to pull it off together.

The subtitle to the New Years Eve party is “München feiert gemeinsam” which sums it up pretty much if you comprende german. All the parties involved are what makes up this city – not the club owners (they only rely on bookings) – but the guys actually delivering the music, the content and defining this city. This is who we are and i am darn glad that we for once, are all in this together.

The Parties & Floors are:

YUM YUM
Bobble, Top Friend & So Not Berlin (think noise and thousand kids going mental)
Horses, Cars & Stars ( the bar, fashion shop and hipster venue that helped define a lot in this town)
KeinMusik & Stock 5 (think delicate electronic music)
Hip Hop Nye (0711 Entertainment – The Magnificent & Ghettoblaster Classikz – the only real, real hip hop spot on NYE in munich)

If you dont know these parties you are missing out on something – each one has a crowd, reputation and is huge by itself. There is a also gonna be a food court (with a bavarian sandwich stand, my favourite japanese place has its own stand, a hot dog stand and a soup kitchen) and lots of spots and seats, so you can chill, chat and enjoy the cheeses.

Ps this is what the blueprint of the place looks like and where you can find each party and floor – so you know your way around:

The whole thing starts at 10pm – and after the fireworks (huuuge outside area prepared) all the parties start at 0.00 sharp. Be in for THE treat this year. +++ ps get a Ticket in advance @ all these pre-sale spots (this is what the tickets look like):

YUM YUM Berlin short recap

By chrome December 16, 2009

imma keep it real short, it was off the HOOK. Picknick was going mental for most of the night. I quit playing at 9.30!!! Berlin really appreciates the variety and openeness YUM YUM brings to the table. Heck this city lives it everyday.

It was a bit like the who-is-who get together of all the heads in Berlin.

Here is a bad, bad video from when Palina Power (one of the guys and girls running YUM YUM in Berlin) took over from me and Schowi, and broke it down on some hiphop & Jigga tunes, lol. This was in the real late hours and if you watch closely you can see Hanibal, Nhan & Taan and i don’t know who else – somehow everyone in Berlin who is running ish.

Ps this was one of the tunes of the early night (at least the part i remember) – another Chromeo rmx but hell, this ones a burner – courtesy of U-Tern. check check…

DJ Wool feat Subtitle ‘Strobelight’ Out Now!

By Stevie December 16, 2009

Here’s a little something that has been doing it for me for a while now… this track is the first release on Manny Montiel’s new label Little Owl Recordings, and also marks producer Glen Brady aka DJ Wool and L.A. expat, Subtitle’s debut single together. The sound they achieve is equal parts Hollywood House party and Dirty late night rave. Giggedy!

Check out the video for the new single below, I’m sure this is gonna be a big tune.

Tommy Sparks – She’s Got Me Dancing

Ever wondered what the new Apple commercial song is called? Yeah, me too… so here we go. Although we’re a bit late on this one I think the video is definitely worth a repost. Enjoy.

recap of last weeks YUM YUM munich @ Piratenhöhle

By chrome December 10, 2009

We had a blast! We threw a night at the former P1, which is right now just an old abandoned place, and we turned it into something nice. We persuaded the owners to lower the prices to match those of Erste Liga, cafe King etc – so you can imagine what their average rates are (gulp) and the venue can easily fit as many people in as old Registratur, so we figured that would suit us well. But boy were we wrong! WAY MORE people turned up than anyone could have expected. The door was overrun – and nobody could have foreseen such a queue. I mean from the entrance of the club across half the parking area. I mean hundreds and hundreds of folks. To be honest i do not know a single location/ club that could fit all those peoples – except a massive concert hall or something. It was freezing cold and the people got upset about being left out in the cold for so long – AND WE ARE TRULY SORRY FOR THAT AND ALL THE PEOPLE THAT DIDNT GET IN – but no way could the bouncers and doormen and women have handled that crowd any faster. Next time we throw another unexpected YUM YUM in an Off Location – we will guaranteed have at least 2 entrances. OTHER THAN THAT – we, i mean all the YUM YUM massive n all the folks hopping around, had a serious blast. Thee Mike B. from L.A. (ps check his blog) came down while step-visiting Europe (or as he calls it “HERR Ze Europa – izza Poltergeist”) and he played on the Top Friend Floor. Max and me were holding it down on the YUM YUM side of things and to be honest we were even holding the dj booth and table tight- cause that improvised stand was shaky as hell and was held together by duct tape!! LOL. But all good – the P.A. was effing up at times, but hey it was a spontaneous party and we loved it. It was a pirates offering and we arrr happy for this massive dance to have happended on such short notice. thanks for making it mine…

ps YUM YUM plays all kinds of music, an eclectic mix of everything we love – the YUM YUM massive knows this. Nuff said!

here are some pics

D D D Diplo at CTRL

By Tand December 5, 2009

On CTRL each month a different band edits the MySpace blog then curates a live show. This month it’s Diplo, who is ever since one of our all time favorite artists at Chromemusic and live on the site now and has chosen Micachu & The Shapes, Benga, Primary 1 and Mumdance for their show at Fabric, London, December 16th.

Check out the project at http://www.myspace.com/topmanctrl and show them some love. The guys of CTRL (namely Theo) hooked us up with an interview which you can read after the jump plus CTRL gave us the opportunity to give away a shirt designed by Diplo. Only 50 have been made so they’re super limited. Since we’re all about sharing and networking we won’t ask you any stupid questions. All you have to do is to comment on this post. Don’t forget to leave your mail so we can get back to you in case you get lucky.
