Satta Outside Festival
Just returned from a trip to Lithuania which had its peak at the wonderful Satta Outside Festival in Sventoi in Lithuenia. After visiting the countryside and the lovely city Vilnius we headed to the baltic coast to the festival. On Friday night at 9:00 PM I had my slot and what can I say… it was banging. Thank you! The audience was a the dream of every DJ. And here is my set. Its totally weird… as usual.. Starts with Beatz, Dub, Trap and ended in UK Garage Style… (listen after the klick)
Juke / Footwork / Trap
Recently at the Fusion Festival I found myself dancing to some very familiar sounding beats, called Juke or Footwork presented by DJ Slick Shoota from Norway. Back in the days (1994?) we call it Ghetto Tech and it was released on labels like: DanceMancia / Traxx Record (Chicago) The quality of these Dance Mania vinyls was crap.. mostly…
Drip.FM
Already some months ago I heard of Drip.FM via Ghostly Records and Stones Throw Records. Its a subscription service for labels which was the idea of Sam Valenti (ghostly records) and Miguel Senquiz. (Read the story at “Your hidden potential UK“) And yesterday i got an invitation, so I had the chance to test it. Its great! –>

in 2010 I organized a panel for the A2N conference in Berlin which was called: ——> “Stop digitizing your record collection? Access vs. Ownership” (here)
Noch nie war es so einfach…
..für Künstler ihren Shit unter die Leute zu bringen. Oder: Das Internet ist nicht mein Feind. So lautete die Headline des Panels auf dem ich zur re:publica 2012 eingeladen wurde und an der Seite von tollen Menschen auch etwas zu sagen durfte.
