Must be one of the nicest tunes this year an the xx is one of the discoveries this year. 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/2009/10/11-Stars.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.

For years there has been nothing – i mean literally no interesting music/ production coming out of Hamburg, germany, which used to be one if not THE music capitol of the country. There are always certain shifts towards places – remember Bristol in the mid nineties, Frankfurt in the late 80ies, early 90ies etc. Anyway its hard to keep up with Berlin these days, with all the concentrated talent there. So Shifty are hailing straight out of Hamburg and these guys are simply doing some fine enjoyable remixes. Especially their Major Lazer/ Nina Skye remix caught my ear. Although i didnt want to post another Major Lazer remix, a least for long now, this one is hard to resist. Sounds like a proper 60ies Ska original. Lovely… as well as the other stuf they sent through. All enjoyable – grab their material and make sure to feed your ipods. They will appreciate it.

Here’s a couple tunes that have really been doing it for me recently… silly things like work have been leaving me with little time to find new music of late, but I’m happy to be able to share these with you (with the artists’ blessing!)
First up is Sharkslayer from Helsinki, sure you all know them already… loving this track right now, mostly because of the way the soulful little breakdown kicks back into the main riff… a real feel-good moment.
[audio:http://www.chromemusic.de/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Ill-Be-Around-Sharkslayer.mp3]Also DJ Wool has kindly given us this… his remix of Izza Kizza’s “Hello Euro”, I’ve really been digging Wool’s style since I heard the WTF reminx… all his tracks have that infectious little something that just make you wanna bounce! Keep a look out for his next single “Strobelight”, I’m sure it’s going to be a big tune. More to come on Chromemusic from DJ Wool in the coming weeks, in the meantime… enjoy!
