The XX was the big newcomer in 2009, and as it is with those newcomers, they got remixed again and again…But there`s one remix which really has the potential to make it into my playlist, here it is:

Massive Top Friend Party this Thursday!!!

October 19, 2009

Bild 10

This Thursday its time to get down to the very first regular Top Friend Issue down @ Erste Liga with me and Dj Beware (YUM YUM Vienna/ FM4). We have had some kind of dj try outs for the time since we opened (i think 12 different djs) and now the set dj crew is established and done experimenting, some simply couldnt cut it – we’ve had a couple of nights where the djs mistook this spot for a cheap bmore club or couldn’t even play a nice warm-up, or even had the misfortune of playing during the Beerfest. Well all thats sorted now. The music policy we have in mind for T F will be displayed on the new mixtapes, which will soon come out and find its way through the webs to you – or will be handed out physically at the Party.

Djs: Me and Beware – besides both running our own YUM YUM outfits, me in Munich and him in Vienna – share a passion for all kinds of music. Come down to witness the original Top Friend sound and make this another biggie to go down, only real place to go to on a Thursday night and the only one with musical essence and backbone. Make sure to show up early or you might end up like the guys on the picture below.

For the rest of you guys playing – Rss readers do not necessarily make the music better – more options means more decisions, means better quality control. And this is where the individual counts. Wake up

“Stars” – The xx

October 19, 2009

Must be one of the nicest tunes this year an the xx is one of the discoveries this year. Here’s a video of them performing both songs accoustically in an elevator. The song are not new or anything – just thought to have it up on the site if you haven’t checked out the band yet. Crytalized by now is one of this years anthems and Stars is even more mellow and of the same caliber – love these tunes.
