The Genesis Era

The old days that started Chrome Music and YUM YUM. More producer than consumer. Everything fresh.

Short recap of last YUM YUM

First of all: a big thanks to everybody who showed up. Alex and I had a ball. And from what I heard (and saw) everybody else who was there had one too. Unfortunately we had to turn down a lot of people since the club was packed by 0.15 AM or so… plus the ventilation didn’t work properly for a while. So sorry for that!

Here’s what my iPhone had to say about the queue (0.36 AM):

Boy… that was something. Unfortunately no further pictures of the night. We need a photo scout. Urgently! Anybody? If you took some pictures post them in our group or send them through.

short recap of last YUM YUM Munich, Saturday 10th – things good and bad

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.
