Dj Tonka getting down with YUM YUM

January 19, 2009

Tonka playing MGMTs Kids on swedisch electronic pocket organ for the YUM YUM guys. Hilarious.

This guy is one of the pioneers of the old german techno/breakbeat/house scene and he made this outstanding and ridiculouly dancefloor treatment of MGMTs gigantic anthem “Kids”. Extremly mixable and check the added keyboards, which give away a lot of his Italo influence. He even reprogrammed the drums on the same drum machine to make a properly mixable outro and break. This tune does it all. respect the architect…

He will probably be getting down with the entire YUM YUM/ Top Friend Entourage in the near future since he moved to munich recently and is extremly interested in the new styles, does some good production etc. We’ll see more of him in the near future.

YUM YUM Shanghai, looking for toys at Retro Exhibition

January 19, 2009

There is a toy exhibition of old asian, retro looking toys, robots and memorabilias taking place. Our man Kamikaze who is also a talented grph artists will go down and check it out. they already started talks – he is gonna try to take some pictures and create a similar looking YUM YUM feel to create their own East-asian artwork. really looking forward to his pictures. Read the full report.

Ps. READ THIS! (lol) : A note on finding the place: the warehouse space is down an alley way located at 767 Wanhangdu Lu. Take your cab to Kangding Lu and Wanhangdu Lu, and walk south along Wanhangdu Lu towards Wuding Lu (it’s in the middle of that block). There should be a blue balloon on the “767” address sign of the alleyway on the left side of the street, facing south.

Go into that alley way and walk about 70 feet down, and the space is in a building on your left. There should be someone there directing you and another blue balloon.

Master Shortie “Dead end”

January 19, 2009

Hailing from London, this Uk rapper is one of the fresh faces. I first heard of this guy last october, didn’t have a proper mp3 to post and now that Chew-Fu took on the remixing duties (too bad i only received this in 128 kbit) – i think you should give it a listen. This is gonna get played, i like the teeny humour and the productions really on point. This is about what Hip Hop should sound like these day. Entertaining and modern. Need a proper mp3 to play it out loud… so hook me up.

four soul gems

January 19, 2009

Some serious steppers and mellow tunes from the era of fros. Music that has been circulating in my stereo fror the longest. Even though i might be a child of the 80ies, this is the music that i have been listening to, worshipping and collecting in the 90ies. A small selection of songs that somehow always seems to find its way back to me, one way or another. Enjoy the lovely Ms Minnie riperton, Curtis Mayfield, the Isleys Brothers and the voice of the Ghetto: Donny Hathaway
