HipHopOpen Allstars (Compiled By DJ Schowi)

August 9, 2012

Unser Yum Yum Berlin Mann Schowi, nicht wenigen bekannt als Massive Töne Rapper und Produzent, hat vor 13 Jahren auch Deutschlands größtes eintägiges HipHopFestival, die MTV HipHopOpen mitgegründet und passend zur 10ten Ausgabe eine Allstar Compilation rausgebracht, die sich wie das Who is Who der deutschen HipHop-Geschichte liest. Und anhört. Amis wie Cypress Hill, LL Cool J, Ludacris, Camp Lo und Masta Ace sind auch dabei, weil sie alle schonmal bei den HipHopOpen gespielt haben. 30 absolute “Big Tunes”, die meisten kennt man womöglich auswendig, was einem klar werden läßt, wie groß HipHop hierzulande geworden ist. Eine amtliche Pflichtsammlung.

Krautrock – The Rebirth Of Germany

February 7, 2012

Krautrock – The Rebirth Of Germany from Dood Lijk on Vimeo.

Documentary which looks at how a radical generation of musicians created a new German musical identity out of the cultural ruins of war. Between 1968 and 1977 bands like Neu!, Can, Faust and Kraftwerk would look beyond western rock and roll to create some of the most original and uncompromising music ever heard. They shared one common goal – a forward-looking desire to transcend Germany’s gruesome past – but that didn’t stop the music press in war-obsessed Britain from calling them Krautrock. KRAFTWERK FTW!

Something from Y’akoto

October 25, 2011

The only thing i know about Y’akoto is that i’ve watched her Tamba video after the release and totally underestimated her.

Today i’ve found her EP on iTunes and bought a copy instantly. Enjoy this little musical collection i’ve made for you and make sure to support her.

During november she’s on tour with ‘Joy Denalane’ from germany and french-nigerian based singer and songwriter ‘Asa’. Check the tourdates over here

After Mayer Hawthorne came over to make the munich’s soul stepper community go wild, der Kongress (aka Registratur) & chromemusic managed to get Aloe Blacc into Puerto Giesing this autumn. “I need a dollar” THE soul-summer-track 2010 and title song to the HBO series “How to make it in America” made him to a well known name and honorable representative of the Stones Throw label. Everybody is invited to have a great time with us and especially of course those who want to share this special soulful Aloe Blacc feeling of the everyday struggle at Munich’s exceptional harbor.

World Cup German Cream Team aka Wu-Tang Killah Germs

July 6, 2010

The German youngsters are playing an incredible WC, to be honest the best i can remember, and this time they have a turkish guy, 2 polish guys, an arab, an african and so forth in their ranks – its by far the closest and realest representation of the german public in a national team up till now, which is multi-ethnical and not the nazi like image & clichee that has been upheld far too long by the rest of the world and espec Hollywood & the UK Press. This time they play phenomenal football and rightfully deserve to go to the finals. Dont know why but it reminds me of the young Wu-tang clan in the early 90ies, when they came up out of nowhere and simply redefined everything. Even during the game we started giving them Wu-Tang Names lol

Here is my starting line-up:

Ps this Man is playing an incredible WC – has to be the best player, here he is with our very own Palina

ps the entire world is praising Thomas Müller who in his first professional year, won the national championship, the national cup, was the runner up in the Champions League Finale and is now playing an incredible WC at age 20! See what YUM YUM NRW has to say about him!
