The Genesis Era

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

Download & Tracklist of the WeSC Superlative Mix by Chrome & Schowi +++ Party this Saturday Jan 31st @ Cafe King

The full CD gonna be handed out at the WeSC / Top Friend Party this Saturday @ Cafe King. Djs will be Chrome & Schowi. Expect more goodies from the WeSC folks. Starts early at 10pm and will be open till the real late hours. Me and Schowi are looking forward to playing together again. The mix will give you an idea what you can expect. Should be a good night, especially since Jhi, the guy running Cafe King, amped up his Soundsystem, to give it that special boom thats needed for a proper Top Friend night. Also since this is supposed to be the kick-off night for the Winter Ispo and we are dealing with the We guys, expect this to be a mad house – don’t worry though, all the snowboard kiddies should be hanging out at the other popular snwbrd parties. So come down and join us for a proper Top Friend Extravaganza.

full tracklist:

Only when i’m drunk (YUM YUM Berlin version)

Haven’t done a version in a minute. Here is mix of the Alkoholiks classic “Only when i’m drunk” and one of my favourite mid-tempo tunes of last year Siriusmos “All the Girls”. Fits nicely at 112bpm. You kow when you need to drop this on the floor. This was done with our next YUM YUM in Berlin in mind, Which is ging down on Sat. Feb 28th at my favourite spot Scala.

YUM YUM classic: Norah Jones “Sunrise Rmx”

A nice remix i did in 2004. They had it playing on national television and about everywhere else i went and looked. Just recently it was playing in the background of some Tv show. So a good oppurunity to revisit some of our older material that is still getting major appreciation from around the country.

Taken from my 2004 mixtape: Summit Soundcheck Vol.3 (couldn’t get Logic to export the mix in one piece for some time now, so i guess it’ll be a little bit longer before i can re-up it on here)

Fidelity and Summertime

While on the road or in the sun for four months last year, and actually even longer if i count all the many weeks travelling in between and coming back here, there were a couple of songs which i kept on listening to on repeat. Since i feel my insides longing to live in another place, with it being so cold and dark here, these tracks come back to mind and are a steady companion at all times.

One was Regina Spektors – Fidelity.

heres the audio version: fidelity_regina spektor

the other one was: sam-cooke-summertime . i had this song on my headphones till all of south-east-asia got tired of hearing it.

2 old sayings comes to mind when i hear these songs:

“The cave you fear to enter, holds the treasure you seek.” & “The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.”

Flow – for the Love of Water (MUST SEE)

Absolutely one of the best documentaries i have seen in recent times. Shocking and gripping. Since there is no way we can get a hold of this movie in Germany – Watch this movie here. More info about the movie: Flow on imdb.

About the movie:

Irena Salina’s award-winning documentary investigation into what experts label the most important political and environmental issue of the 21st Century – The World Water Crisis.

Salina builds a case against the growing privatization of the world’s dwindling fresh water supply with an unflinching focus on politics, pollution, human rights, and the emergence of a domineering world water cartel.

Interviews with scientists and activists intelligently reveal the rapidly building crisis, at both the global and human scale, and the film introduces many of the governmental and corporate culprits behind the water grab, while begging the question “CAN ANYONE REALLY OWN WATER?”

Beyond identifying the problem, FLOW also gives viewers a look at the people and institutions providing practical solutions to the water crisis and those developing new technologies, which are fast becoming blueprints for a successful global and economic turnaround.

On December 10th, 2008 FLOW was invited to screen at the United Nations as part of the 60th Anniversary of the Declaration of Human Rights. Watch the video here:  FLOW at the UN
