am i the only person who has day dreams about my favorite dance songs being played out on a dance floor on a night when  i’m determined to get my groove on? beats spinning off the fingers of a dj and his vinyl (or his laptop) and beating me over the head blissfully while i let me feet do the talking.

tomorrow evening i’ll be seeing/dancing with Audion and Clark Warner at Le Poisson Rouge. matthew dear aka Audion aka Jabberjaw aka False aka Matthew Dears Big Hands, with his darker and heavier vision of  an dance floor take over. his work is part of the sound that has been dominating my ipod since i’ve returned from berlin. the minimal electronic tech sounds have actually really kept my ears intrigued. it’s the kind of beat that sounds especially best with your eyes closed and fists in the air.

also on heavy rotation for chuckles and i are jesse rose, booka shade, moderat, trentemøller and claude vonstroke. i HIGHLY (and i mean high) recommend that you download both Rose and Vonstrokes BBC radio one essential mixes. they play tracks that might give you a boner on a dance floor. or is that just me again?

chuck and i will be checking out jesse rose on dec 8th at LOVE! can’t hide how excited i am for this! rose runs the berlin based labels Front Room Recordings and Made to Play and has residencies in berlin (at panorama bar) and london. he will be  giving new york a dance floor werq out for one night only. his music thumps like no other. if i walk onto the dance floor and he plays  ”mourning wood” “asided” or  ”never ending” i will die and go to dance heaven.

i’ll leave you with clips of some of my personal favorites of this bunch.

A night with Booka Shade…

Perfect track for a Lynch-style movie! Mmm…

Good night folks…

decided to make a playlist that went against the grain with everything i normally listen to these days. in new york your soundtrack is usually as hectic and fast paced as your commute, so everything i listen to on my ipod is usually also appropriate on the dance floor. my ipod is filled with everything from mobb deep to phillip glass, and i thought it was time i payed more attention to the latter. this took hours and hours of patience to create. songs usually lose me after the three minute mark, but i forced myself to hear these songs, no matter how slow or lengthy, with new ears. the result, i think, is a mood the moves at a slightly slower pace, but still has tremendous energy. these are songs i’ve always loved but never make time to listen to. seems appropriate as fall speeds ahead, and winter is around the bend. STOP. hold it. hold it. you might want to sit and listen to this one.

Patiently Paced Vol.1

1. opening (live)- philip glass

2. your cloud- tori amos

3. parrallel lines- kings of convenience 

4. our way to fall- yo la tengo

5. birds- electrelane

6. at the window (cinematic shades edit)- booka shade

7. cymbal rush- thom yorke 

8. i’m not (phaseone remix)- panda bear

9. and then patterns- four tet

10. lover you should have come- jeff buckley 

11. the rip- portishead

12. everywhere you turn- the bad plus

13. hot like fire (aaliyah cover)- the xx

D2,

Nevsky Prospekt, St. Petersberg, Russia

Not to be confused with the clothes shop chain, this uninspiring record shop along the bustling Nevsky Prospect street,  is a pirate-ship of stores, albeit with a treasure trove within.

Offering knock-off DVDs and video-games in one room, and CDs (most of which are pirated copies)  in another, the shop on the whole has little of interest to anyone with more than a passing interest in music.  We had entered the shop, browsed the racks with disdain and were turning to leave as I spied the store’s single redeming feature.

A bargain bin offering legit CDs at 30 roubles (59p) grabbed my attention, with it’s pile of Fabric mixes sitting near the top of the pile.  I sort through the lot and find Fabric 25 Mixed By Carl Craig (a classic techno/ house mix with tracks from Kerri Chandler, Scott Grooves and, err, The Pasta Boys), along with Fabric 26 mixed by Global Communication (aka Tom Middleton & Mark Pritchard).

Beneath a dirge of R&B compilations, I find another mix entitled ‘Elektrik 02′, a double disc outing from King Unique and Nubreed,  filled with goodies from Modeselektor, Claude Von Stroke, Steve Bug, Booka Shade, Felix Da Housecat, Thomas Schumacher, Milton Jackson… I could go on.  The shop, despite its lack of character, ambience, or selection, is on is way to becoming legendary.

Above: Nevsky Prospect

The last CD I discover, at the very bottom of the bin, is Moby’s 2008 album, Last Night – a homage to the disco and house tracks of the early ’90s, when the bald headed leftie was still making his name.  The album got lukewarm reviews on its release in 2008, but I think it was under-rated and, as a concept album, work wells.

As I take my armful of CDs to the counter and hand them to the grimacing clerk at the till (who is fashioning the kind of vacant expression made famous by American teenagers), I remind myself that sometimes the best purchases are in the worst shops.  And with that depressing manta, I lay down the cash and give the attentdant a genuine, unreturned, smile.

Boas pessoal,

Por recomendação de um amigo, acabei por ouvir a seguinte música e tenho a dizer que é espectacular, especialmente para quem tem um sistema de colunas 5.1 (ou superior) e quer desenferrujar o subwoofer. Apresento-vos uma das melhores músicas de sempre (na minha opinião):

O que acharam?

Um abraço

Who’s playing? – The Prodigy, Empire Of The Sun, Franz Ferdinand, Boys Noize
Who’s idea was this? Future Entertainment
Where? – Ascot Racecourse
It all starts at… – 12pm
How much? – Presale $110+BF (password is a Headlining act) GA $136 +BF
How do you get in on this? – Tickets on sale 9am Wednesday October 21
Who’s going to be there? – Except a broad range of dance music fans
You’d like it if you were… sober, drunk, high

Heads Will Roll says…

I went to a festival at a racecourse once. Every time I had to cross the tracks to go to the toilet I made the joke that I had to “piss like a race horse”. That joke is going to be recycled for Future 2010. “What does the Future Music 2010 sound like” I hear you ask? Well it sounds like the past (yep another recycled joke, I know but everyone is so worried about the environment these days). The Prodigy are headlining, and sure they will put on an entertaining spectacle of a show but does anyone actually listen to the Prodigy anymore? Is there anyone out there can honestly say they turned on their iPod and actively chose to listen to a Prodigy album in the past 5 years? Shuffle mode doesn’t count. Fresh from, um, playing Parklife, Luke Steele brings his Empire of the Sun show. Interesting choice that one, you would assume everyone who wanted to watch EOTS would have watched the show at Parklife. I really can’t imagine too many people going back for more or Luke Steele gaining too many new fans in 5 months. Franz Ferdinand standout as the first rock headliner for Future Music however previously acts like Datarock, Who Made Who and CSS have brought their guitars to the festival so it shouldn’t be too shocking. Boys Noize will be touring his new album Power and is Heads Will Roll’s most anticipated act on the line-up. Stay tuned to Heads Will Roll as more acts and hopefully some after parties are announced.

Meh Mah (Media Market) Record Store

Kiev, Ukraine

I hesitate to blow Kiev’s trumpet too hard, but burrowed amongst the various underground clothing outlets are a huge number of chain and independent records stores just waiting to be discovered.

However, not all of the stores below the capital are worthy of unrelenting praise, Media Market is particularly unspectacular. A bog standard music shop selling a few interesting CDs, but mostly stocking chart and popular releases. Theres no vinyl to be found here, no rare bootleg recordings of Beatles gigs, no mp3 CDs offering artists discographys’ – simply lots of Beyonce and Lady Gaga.

The guy at the till  spins ATB’s new album (!) endlessly, skipping from one soft trance track to another,  the kind of music which kills ambience and makes browsing painful. We wince as the cheesy vocals kick in, and are half tempted to request Depeche Mode’’s new album instead. We decide otherwise, on account of the fact we don’t think it will go down too well with the gurning teen wearing the Paul Van Dyk t-shirt who is nodding his head with the beat as he browses through Armin Van Buuren CDs.

Media Market does have something going for it, however, as it seems to stock the back library of artists’ who currently have new releases in the charts. We discover Moby’s tough to find Early Underground, Ambient and Play: B Sides albums on the racks, greatly tempting us  until we see their extortionate price sticker (and the fact that they all have the song Go on it…).

Unsurprisingly it’s the bargain bin which cements the stores appearence in my blog (the rule being if I make a purchase, the store makes it).

As we scramble through the hordes of euro-pop albums from the nineties, I discover the second half of the Azuli mix CD that I bought in Lviv, along with a Defected compilation mixed by the Copyright duo.

Priced at 10UAH (£0.79) each and with the likes of Booka Shade, Alter Ego,  Moby and Depeche Mode spread over the discs, I can’t resist.

Booka Shade DJs

Club Midi

2 octombrie 2009

orele 23.00

…

Booka Shade sunt Walter Merziger (keyboards) şi Arno Kammermeier (drums), doi producători originari din Germania, care lucrează împreună din 1996. Astăzi sunt artiştii de bază a casei de discuri Get Physical, alături de M.A.N.D.Y.

Tot aici au lansat si albumul de debut „Memento” în 2004. Dintre piesele de rezistenţă, menţionăm “Mandarine Girl” şi “Body Language” (ambele lansate în 2005). Duetul de electrodance vin prima dată la Cluj în primul weekend din octombrie. Deşi afacerea lor îşi are acum sediul la Berlin, perechea de DJ este o veterană recunoscută a scenei electronice din Frankfurt pe Main.

Proiectul este comparat cu Underworld, care a pornit cu greu din undergound, fiind ignorat, deşi muzica este gustată şi apreciată de public şi de critici ulterior.

Zitat vor Wochen und Monaten: “Dieses Jahr fahr ich nicht zur sms, komm da ja erst den Abend vorher ausm Urlaub wieder und will eher mal was Neues emtdecken. Also auf KEINEN Fall!”

…und dann hab ich mich doch überreden lassen Überreden lassen zu 3 Tagen auf der 13. sonnemondsterne, zu 3 Tagen mit einer verrückten, bunten Truppe, zu 3 Tagen Spaß und Unsinn pur. Und natürlich zu jede Menge Musik.

Los gings Freitag morgens um 10  mit dem gemieteten 9-Sitzer. Perfekte Rahmenbedingungen: Blauer Himmel, 30 Grad und Sonne pur. Daran sollte sich das Wochenende über auch nicht wesentlich viel ändern. Nach einer staureichen, aber dennoch sehr lustigen Hinfahrt (dank der geöffneten Seitentür) erreichten wir gegen 17 Uhr die schöne Bleilochtalsperre in Thüringen. Rauf aufn Campingplatz – schön auf den Ruhigen am Ende der Welt. (Leider hatten wir dann die ganzen Tage irgendwelche Vollhonks über uns, die uns mit Lärm aller (un)denkbaren Arten bedachten… nun ja, thats life festival)

Ich weiß nicht ob es von den Veranstaltern absichtlich so geplant war, oder ob sie einfach eine eigene Art von Humor haben: The Prodigy und Deichkind auf der Mainstage direkt hintereinander. 2,5 Stunden. Tödlich! Im Grunde genommen sitze ich JETZT noch mit Schmerzen hier beim Schreiben dieses Blogs – nur wegen dieser 2,5 Stunden. 5. Reihe direkt in der Mitte, genau im gröbsten Schlammassel.  Dabei waren beide Acts nicht mal überragend: gerade von Prodigy hatte ich mir schon etwas mehr Abwechslung gewünscht. Die Stimmung dagegen war unvergesslich. Und dann auch noch Deichkind: Und endlich – beim 5. Liveauftritt hab ich auch mal die Bühnenshow wahrgenommen War incl. der unglaublichen Menge an Federn wieder ein sehr witziger Auftritt – mehr jedoch auch nicht. Hier ein Videozusammenschnitt von Prodigy und Deichkind:

Danach ein Blick bei Booka Shade, die genau das abliefern, was man von ihnen erwartet und kennt – und damit immer noch den ganzen Maincircus in ein Tollhaus verwandeln. Ich mehr oder weniger anwesend. Überlegung im Stehen zu schlafen.

Doch wir sind ja bei sms, schlafen ist später angesagt und weiter gings: Erst mit Richie Hawtin, wo schon das Intro überzeugte, und dann zwischen 4 und 7 Uhr an der “Beach Bar”. Die perfekte Location: sehr gute Musik von unbekannten Acts, Sandstrand direkt am Wasser,  großes Lagerfeuer (!), und dazu langsam aber sicher der Sonnenaufgang über der Talsperre. Dazu eine ausgedehnte Einführung in die grandiose Wirkung von Jägermeister: zur allgemeinen Belustigung vieler Besucher never forget! (Das war übrigens so gut da, dass wir Sven Väths Stinkefinger-Abgang nach technischen Problemen gar nicht mitbekommen haben..hehe)

Wir landeten schließlich wieder an der Mainstage: es ist kurz vor 8 Uhr morgens, es ist schon lange hell. Und die Überraschung des Abends Morgens: Hier wird gute Musik gespielt und der DJ oben heißt Felix Kröcher. Ob da jemand erwachsen geworden ist? Anstatt “Uffze Uffze auf die Fresse-Musik ohne Sinn und Logik” wie ich es von ihm kenne, spielt er hier ein grundsolides Techno-Set: nicht schlecht. Gut für den letzten Rest Kraft in uns. Denn danach gings zurück zum Zelt – aber nicht schlafen: Das Schlauchboot wurde fertig gemacht und so gings gegen 10 Uhr wieder runter zur Talsperre. Sonnenbrand holen, erholen von der Nacht, rum-treiben lassen und schließlich mit dem Boot am Festivalgelände ankommen, wo immer noch gefeiert und gechillt wird. Toll! Wir nutzen die Pause um “Banane” zu fahren: Das war zwar extrem lustig – sollte man vielleicht in unserem Zustand aber nicht unbedingt empfehlen

Samstags nachmittag passiert auch dann nicht mehr viel: Rest des Tages wird irgendwie rum-gebracht, gegrillt und wieder fertiggemacht für das Gelände. Captain Morgan war wieder ein guter Kapitän! Ahoi! Geschlafen habe ich immer noch nicht.

Auf dem Gelände treffe ich eine gute Entscheidung: Während meine komplette Truppe Mia und Peter Fox sehen will und sich in den wieder mal viel zu vollen Mainstagebereich reindrängelt, entschließe ich mich allein ins Cocoon-tent zu gehen. Hier bin ich die nächsten 3 Stunden bei Onur Özer und Johannes Heil (live), und das sollte mein musikalisches Highlight des Wochenendes werden: Bei gefühlten 50 Grad und 100% Luftfeuchtigkeit kann ich gar nicht mehr aufhören zu tanzen: wunderbare, treibende Sets: Das ist Techno 2009, sehr sehr geil! Ich bin immer noch begeistert – war aber nach diesen Stunden auch völlig im Eimer und nassgeschwitzt. Zum großen Feuerwerk haben wir uns dann erstmal an den Strand gehauen und eine kleine Pause eingelegt ,)

Danach war schon Zeit für Fat Boy Slim, den eigentlichen Headliner des Festivals. Norman Cook lieferte das wofür man ihn kennt und bucht: perfektes Mixing zwischen Klassikern aus allen Bereichen, eigenen Hits und ein bisschen Blödsinn. War schon ne gute Show. (Mich persönlich nervts nur, wenn ein DJ vorne auf der Bühne rumspringt und klatscht und hinten der Mix läuft, und dann trotzdem so tut, als wäre es live…so zu tun ist irgendwie dämlich!) Wir waren zwischendrin aber nochmal bei den Turntablerockern, um dort den König zu sehen: Den König der Assitänzer. Den König aller Assicontests. Den Sieger aller irrsinnigen, peinlichen Aktionen. Ich glaube über diese wenigen Minuten werde ich noch als alter Mann lachen Danke dafür!

Für mich war nach den letzten 30 Minuten Fat Boy Slim auch Schluss mit sms x3: Es ging einfach nix mehr

Ein wiedermal schönes Festival-Wochenende an der Bleilochtalsperre: perfektes Wetter, gute Acts, und sehr viel Spaß. Zu kritisieren gibt es wie in jedem Jahr die Situation der sanitären Anlagen, das ist wirklich untragbar, und die extrem nervige Anreisesituation auf den Campingplatz. So hat jedes Festival seine Nachteile – die Vorteile bei sonnemondsterne überwiegen aber dennoch. Danke für ein tolles Wochenende…
