The Shadow Years

The years and the phase of ChromeMusic and YUM YUM was left deserted and abondened by Chrome. No production. No Love. No One Around.
We had to break down the Matrix somewhere else.

Hudson Mohawke – “Pleasure” (Janet Jackson Rework)

Another great banger from Hudmo. By now the entire world got used to his flawless productions pouring out continously and somehow he manages to raise the bar with every release. While everybody is reworking the easy acapellas available (“If” & “Rock with You” and so on) Hudmo took on the Pleasure Principle, not an instant crowd cheering song, since that tune is from the mid 80ies and that generation is not hitting the clubs anymore, aaaaand still… best Janet remix out there. Download away!

Drums Of Death – This Night

Vor einigen Monaten hatte ich die Möglichkeit Drums Of Death persönlich kennen zu lernen. Ein wirklich sehr kooler Dude.

Damals hatte er mir schonmal einen Einblick in das Video sowie eine Hörprobe von  “This Night” gegeben.

Seid letzter Woche Montag is die Single zu haben. Allerdings nur in Digitaler Form.

 

 

“When You ‘Really’ Live In [City]” The Harlem Shake of Euro Tumblrs and a Short Viral Pandemic

I remember seeing the Berlin one first (of course) then next came Munich and after that different ones just started popping up almost hourly (insert gif). They’re like sarcastic gif tumblrs and indie city guides, from the perspectives of locals ( moved or born there), on how to save yourself a lot of embarrassments when visiting. After someone on Facebook sent me a link to Innsbruck and Münster i figured that we went too far (please insert gif here). So a short sum up is overdue

Some blogs are called “When you live in…”and some “When you really live in…”. Especially Berlin and Munich felt the urge to put a “Really” in the middle and set things straight. I guess it’s like the cooler 90ies rappers calling their music “Real” Hip Hop when compared to the likes of Euro Trash Rappers, you get the point. And that’s why i only linked the “Really” titled blogs for Berlin & Munich plus they are funnier and in most cases – from my perspective – more accurate.

Germany:

Berlin ::: Munich ::: Stuttgart ::: Hamburg ::: Bochum ::: Cologne ::: Dortmund ::: Freiburg ::: Hannover ::: Münster ::: Augsburg ::: Bonn ::: Frankfurt

European:

Amsterdam ::: London ::: Zürich ::: Barcelona ::: Lisbon ::: Vienna ::: Innsbruck ::: Ankara

Ps You are doing it wrong:

A lot of smaller cities have way too many generalizations ie. ‘when your ex hooks up with your bff”. Looking at you IBK and that’s how i feel about it.

Ps Enjoy it while it lasts:
