and another one by the same guys – nice version of the Cure and everyones Darling – Phoenix
[audio:http://www.chromemusic.de/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/05-Phoenix-Get-Cured.mp3]imma keep it real short, it was off the HOOK. Picknick was going mental for most of the night. I quit playing at 9.30!!! Berlin really appreciates the variety and openeness YUM YUM brings to the table. Heck this city lives it everyday.
It was a bit like the who-is-who get together of all the heads in Berlin.
Here is a bad, bad video from when Palina Power (one of the guys and girls running YUM YUM in Berlin) took over from me and Schowi, and broke it down on some hiphop & Jigga tunes, lol. This was in the real late hours and if you watch closely you can see Hanibal, Nhan & Taan and i don’t know who else – somehow everyone in Berlin who is running ish.
Ps this was one of the tunes of the early night (at least the part i remember) – another Chromeo rmx but hell, this ones a burner – courtesy of U-Tern. check check…

i don’t know how this song made its way on my lapper, but it goes down a storm every time i play it. 2008s most played pop tune gets the dubstep remix and – honestly – this is the only way left to play this tune. ps @ all djs – dubsteps real nice, but do not make your dubsteps breaks – and honestly thats what it mostly is in ecclectic sets – too long. it often takes away from the energy – the unexpected breakdown and an in your face rawness has a way more dramatic effect on the floor – then constantly staying on one tempo.
sorry BS – that goes for any dj and any sound, not just dubstep. i hate nights that are either 130bpm or 100bpm or whatever. 2010s approaching – Wake up!

i played all these tunes last saturday @ YUM YUM Berlin – full review coming soon. but seriously – just three quick tunes that you shouldnt miss out on, and you can add to your playlists, for those christmas days when you finally get a rest from all the crap and can kick back with some weed, a new video game or a good book. i’m going for all three of these plus some booze.
A Twelves mix of Yelle – can’t go wrong with that:

Another soul classic get the no-brainer retreat by our man Maxey from Barcelona, not too lessen the mix – useful catch for all the soul lovers, espec since it samples the Sam Cooke live version (@Maxey useful Gem bro):

And of course anything discoesque (is that a word?) with a Passion Pit sample goes, somewhat tired of Disco these days, but hey a good tunes a good tune and this is a fine mix by my favourites Hey Champ – these guys always deliver the goods (ps @Hey Champ – you should have seen the crowd reaction last time i dropped this):

Super Cat got me into Reggae – here is the promised 2nd part to some of his music and some songs from his early 90ies album “Don Dada”, which i caught a glimpse of while i was in NY in 93/94. Flex was on the radio, Souls of Mischief proclaimed the year to be timeless, Black Moon had everyone open and Wu-Tang was the word of the year. I mean Nas “Illmatic” came out early/mid 94 and Queen Latifahs “U.N.I.T.Y” was one of the best promoted albums and tracks i had ever seen. The best party was Phunky Buddha at Nells a proper hipster crowd (hipsters in the early 90ies was something completely different), Jackie 60 had some legendary Acid Jazz nights, the Tunnel was a rowdy hiphop crowd on Wednesdays and the Lions Den had some amazing Reggae afternoons – and my reggae mixtapes were bought at 555Soul. Actually i was a massive fan of the Cat but as soon as his hiphop mixes caught on – man, i was hooked. Have fun kids.

Here are the hiphop mixes that i am playing every now and then up to this day. but i think they were in 92 – not really sure and too lazy to look up the record sleeves. Ps recognize the sample on Dolly my Baby? Herbie Hancocks “Watermelon Man”. Chocolate breadcrumbs on the way down memory lane.

This is it folks the place to be this Saturday if you are anywhere near and in Berlin – and if you dont know this spot – don’t bother. Here are some tunes and edits that fit the YUM YUM sound in Berlin, hand selected by my man Schowi. The Flyers simply nice. Its the YUM YUM Berlin 1 year anniversary, cause thats about the time when we officially landed, even though we have been around – but with a city like Berlin – you need to time and play it all right and if not well you are mediocre or less in a matter of days – thats why this is another fine selected setup. Really looking forward to this joint.
Ps the lineup is like a who is who of the people who define the city these days. incl main lady Palina Power, One of the Sick Girls, Bianca Checker and so on – these ladies know to throw a proper party and are pure eye candy besides being (street)smart. Simply peoples i like having dinner with. just lovely – RSVP to the party on Facebook
