Into the hinterland : Karl Marx Stadt

18 June 2009

My very good friend Christian "Society Suckers" and myself are headed out tomorrow to his hometown Chemnitz, originally known as Karl Marx Stadt. Frank Brentschneider is also from out there (actually the whole Raster-Noton label). Its one of those East German towns that I've always wanted to go check out.

I'm quite looking forward to it. The occasion is a club event put on my Geroyche for his birthday. Geräusch means "noise" in German. As usual it took me a while to notice that it probably wasn't his real name. I also didn't notice Errorsmith ("Aerosmith") and the other day while talking with "DJ Wattsriot":http://earconditioning.wordpress.com/ (a splendid gentlemen, let me assure you) I mentioned L-Vis 1990 and suddenly it dawned on him ... "Elvis". Yep, its hiding right under your nose. That's what you get for reading blogs and not hanging out with real people.

I took the picture in Peru on the very touristy street in Lima.

Sweden last week was splendid. Highlights for me were Group Doueh (psych rock from Western Sahara), Omar Souleyman (Syria), Konono No 1 (Congo), El Hijo de la Cumbia (Argentina), the aforementioned DJ Wattsriot (Tenerife) and of course Kode 9 who ended Friday night with a jungle rinse out. I played a lot of UK Funky, Funk Carioca, Kuduro, Dubstep, but mostly bits of this and that on the edges.

I'm going to assume Chemnitz don't want no UK Funky.

    • the future is intrinsically egotistical

      Playing at O Tannenbaum last Friday was a good change up for me. Its the first time I've played in a bar as opposed to a club for about 5 years.  I played a six hour set from the Congo, Mali, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Jamaica, No New York, London, India, Indonesia, Berlin, Columbia, Peru, DF, I don't know where, the 50s,60s,70s,80s,90s,00s but not much from the last year.  The last year is on quarantine for me.  Partly because I really want ...

      Soundcloud started issuing takedown notices to people posting unauthoried remixes and mixtapes.A few thoughts in response to the Ripley's post:http://djripley.blogspot.com/2010/12/walling-off-another-garden-is.htmlhave you all chosen and publicly displayed a CC license ?  http://creativecommons.org/choose/I need to do that too.If it was widespread then all artists would have this, it could be easily checked to ensure a mix is free to go.  Only artists on restrictive labels would get flagged.  Mixcloud could scan and ok the mix automatically.  All artists should have URLs where ...
