The old days that started Chrome Music and YUM YUM. More producer than consumer. Everything fresh.
and that fit this pic…
Valentins brother Dominik was the first one to send me this pic via facebook a month ago, then Valentin sent it to me, then Alexa, and then as soon as it was on reddit.com, the site that we love not only for this here… everybody sent me the pic, i mean like half my friends.. so there is something about this picture…
Here are a few tunes for the people i like… not new or anything, but good
Olivia Chrestomanci – Crossroad Demon Blues
I rarely check my inbox these days, but the first track i checked today and its a winner. This literally just got in. Time print says 10 min ago and its sweet buttery goodness. Check this anthem, they resell it for 99ç on itunes. Bought it right away. Lyrics go some like this: “Play some Burning Spear…. Play some sweet reggae music tonight, and sweet reagge music and rub a dub feeling for life”. Great just the right wake up tune for me. I am playing tonight and this is just what i will do. Gimme an extra reggae set, yes man.
Dynamq – Reggae Feeling by TuneInCrew
But why does the artwork on reggae records always have to look like this? i could only post it as mini thumb.

A new & massive YUM YUM in Munich coming your way! Well me and Max are gonna return to the essence of YUM YUM, for more on that read a full report the coming week in the Character section. It’s gonna be a huge night, and strictly no Italians this weekend – simple o-fest rule. Recheck this month’s YUM YUM top tunes and make sure to show up early.
News: Soon we will have 2 new YUM YUM mixtapes, actually will be passing out the newest one at our next date in Munich (early October) and nationwide, and our Newsletter will soon be much brighter, nicer and full of our music so stay tuned, and start subscribing in 2 weeks (You are gonna love it!). And a full coloured YUM YUM 7″ vinyl single (“I need a dollar YUM YUM Version) is in the making – and will be handed out this Saturday to a few selected YUM YUM lovers (so send me a mail) and many, many more things are ahead, but a full report on monday is coming…
So catch you Saturday, dont forget to bring your dancing shoes, I am really having an itch to play a proper YUM YUM set. See you in a bit.
Yes, you are most likely just like myself not attracted by songs that have a “Euro version” in brackets. Therefore I haven’t ever listened to this tune or version. Euro in Europe indicates some horrible dancefloor rubbish à la “Barbie Girl”. So I figured this was one of these versions, where a doomed record label attempts to make soulful and good music “dancefloor friendly” – with horrible results which are even an insult to crappy techno producers.
But on the contrary, this is just a European verison of the same song, that Rapahel Saadiq released 2 years ago and it’s one of these songs that is the pure & living essence of our YUM YUM sound. This version is just a bit more mellowed out, but beautiful nonetheless. Saadiq has always been a favourite in my book and almost every girl I was with got a Raphael Saadiq album (Instant Vintage) as a present to help her climax her musical taste, lol. This means the difference between having a Soul and a lot of so-called modern Soul music.
Big Easy’s actually a sad, sad story but the way he delivers it – I simply – love this tune – love it back

Follow him on ::::Facebook:::MySpace:::Twitter:::Website++++buy all his material via iTunes, some of the few rare artists whose entire catalogue is completely worth it.
PS: Check the video to another one of my favourites on his 2008 album “Way I see it”. Another definite YUM YUM tune – past & present! I Need to play all his music this weekend.

Another one of the tunes that never made it during my vinyl to laptop transition. Paul Nice’ Remix of the Nas ft Ludacris tune “Virgo”. Kickass remix that was originally only to be found on one of the Rubs “Motherf*** Remix” 12″es. And our buddies Ayres & Eleven from the Rub were kind enough to send this tune through instantly. Thx a lot peoples!

Feeling like Cpt. Artschool? Lost your way? Too many mainstreamers infiltrating your coffee shops?
Out buddies over at artscoolvets.com posted the Adidas Originals Cityguides for Munich and Berlin. The guide was crafted especially for locals but it also works as a tourist guide. In addition to the hot spots you can enter competitions like “Tag Your City” or the “Star Wars Sticker Invasion”. We’re very happy that artschoolvets.com and chromemusic.de had the opportunity to contribute to this guide. You’ll get the guide at selected stores only + find more information on how and where right here.
If you’re either in Munich nor in Berlin this Friday you maybe wanna say hi to the guys of STW2D who featured Adidas Originals at The Live Magazine over the last days plus you’ll get to party at YUM YUM Friday night. Be in for a treat.
