Just another schedule update

Well, it's been a while since I've been spinning a proper clubset in my hometown of Hamburg/Germany due a quite busy work- and dj-schedule, but june sees my playing here twice. The first party...



...takes place on June 3rd in a small but nice venue underneath the Hotel Imperial @ the infamous Reeperbahn right in the centre of Hamburg's redlight district.

Event name: KOMBINATION

LineUp:
baze.djunkiii [Intrauterin Recordings]
wright & wright
wolfgang klette
.doppeldex

Venue: Sujet / Reeperbahn 5 downstairs / Hamburg - Germany

Door: open 10pm / admission 5EU



And I'm going back to play another gig @ Hotel Lux / Berlin in - guess what? - less than 2 weeks. BO!


09.06.2005 S.I.N.D. @ hotel lux / berlin

aufbau friedrichshain / radio lux proudly announce:

*S.*I.*N.*D. (siberia is not disgusting)

_electronica_ambient-, intelligent &armchair techno_deepest detroit_


turntables: baze.djunkiii [intrauterin recordings / hamburg ]

pettenkofer strasse 4c (open the wooden door)
f-hain near sbahn frankfurter allee /berlin
10oo p.m. / 2.oo EU donation


Some additional notes on music:

Atlantic just put out a double-A-side promo of Missy Elliott's new tracks. A-Side sees Missy, supported by Ciara & Fatman Scoop, rappin' on a baaaad electro/booty bass riddim which also uses samples of Juan Atkins'/Cybotron's legendary track "Clear" from the mid-80's. Is good to see an established HipHop artist like Missy representin' a fusion of what once belonged together - HipHop & Electro is what I'm talkin' 'bout - in the early days of rappin', b-boyin' and breakdancin'. On the flipside The Neptunes come up with a really bleepy kind of bassheavy crunk riddim which should do well within' a grime set. Remember the instrumental of Ashanti's "Only U" ? That kind of stuff if you subtract the strings and melodic stuff.

Garage veteran's Sunship are on point again, backin' up Warrior Queen's "Almighty Father" on Casual with a hybrid mixture of heavy Dancehall and Grime. Four mixes to be found on this recommended 12" , three of them grimey as f*ck and one for the ladies rollin' the vocals out on a straight SpeedGarage-tune that is on a very positive tip and a bit cheesy as well.

Parts not exactly in the post

Receiving promos and pre-release copies is great and one of the very appreciated benefits of being a DJ, press and networking person. Even more if you get records not only from the big promo pools but from small underground labels & artists which are often short of money and do not send out stuff into the blue.

One of these labels is the Hamburg-based imprint Sunday Service which is exploring the field of Leftfield Independent Pop, Postrock elements, Indietronica and some more dancefloor-wise remix works. Scheduled for august is the second coming of finn. entitled "The Eyes Will Have It". Seems like Patrick Zimmer - finn.'s real name - has been in a very warm and melancholic mood while writing this album. Eleven songs, carefully arranged, that might be a nice soundtrack for upcoming long autumn evenings and a glass of red wine. But before autumn falls again another Sunday Service record is to be released in july, Jullander's "Reworks & Continuations" 12" featuring five remixes of their 2003 album "Interior" by Lawrence, Thomas Leboeg of Iso 68 and Kante-fame, Jörg Theurer, The Montana Files and Julies Etienne. Thomas Leboeg wins on the dancefloor, revealing a deep & sparkling MinimalDisco-tune with nice vocoder effects - good for 5 a.m. crowds in tiny red hot clubs with brothel-like kitsch-interieur and this special hormone-driven athmosphere we all know from our nightlife experience. Also check out Jörg Theurer's remix of "Apres Danse" as a nice piece to baffle a raving mad MinimalTechno audience as it uses german vocal snippets and quite tricky breaks.

Aaron Spectre's label Moonbunny has put out it's first release a few weeks ago - "Aarktica/Aaron Spectre - Ocean E.P.". Very deep and athmospheric stuff that sometimes reminds me of early Boards Of Canada mixed up with a few pieces of Postrock and - this only for Aaron's remix of "Ocean" - a bit of Autechre.

Another new label coming from Hamburg/Germany is Boys Noize, run by newbreed ElectroHouse-superstar Kid Alex - once responsible for teh Uber-hit "Young love (Topless)". One of five test pressings in my hands now I must admit that there's really cool stuff on that record that will stick in my case for quite a long time. "Optic" reveals heavy broken beats with mad acid lines on top while "He-man" on the flip is a massive bleepy MinimalTechno-stomper able to drive people crazy. Forget about Alter Ego's "Rocker" or Roman Flügel's "Geht's Noch?", this one works as well with a massive breakdown and features a more subtle hook which is fine with me. Top score.



And another date in Berlin which is not be missed...

Post-Berlin thoughts

Well, finally back home after my trip to Berlin this weekend and first of all it's time for biggin' up Deutsche Bahn for cuttin' down transfer time from Hamburg to Berlin to only 90 minutes via ICE which is nothing if one remembers times when a train ride from A to B took like three hours or more which is crap for an exhausted artist after a fine and long night out.

Shoutouts as well to Bowman, Eleni and their son Leon, which is a funny and pretty intelligent little guy, and thx to Markus of Smoked Sausage for his flat over the last days.

Playing Hotel Lux on friday was fun although the audience was little due to the local promoter mixing up dates - normally the place is open on thursdays and saturdays only... But it is a nice place anyway, living room style and very loungy, a Vereinsheim kind of location - well, there must be an english expression for that but this time i prefer the german one just 'coze it sounds well - with a good PA compared to other venues with a semi-official character, nice & friendly staff plus open minded people.
There was a lot of Electronica stuff in my set as well as deep Detroit-influenced Techno and weird ElectroPhonk like Marco Passarani's "I House U " - tons of stuff that is a bit tricky to include in a normal club performance. Having places like this to play at is great just for doing eclectic selections and I guess I'll be back there soon - quite soon.
And by the way, they've got good beer at the bar - Rothaus Tannenzäpfle and Augustiner Edelstoff. BO!

The Psychedelic Avengers Space Experience at Insel Berlin was a good experience and a very well organized festival - the promoters did a great job and were keeping everyone informed of timetable changes, they kept close to schedules, had a secure backstage with drinks, a good bunch of lights & deco stuff - all those little things to keep artists happy were taken care of. Due to the massive line up i had no chance to see all artists, but had a chat with the guys from a band called Hypnos 69 which came from Belgium to attend the festival and liked my set after their show which again included trippy electronics from Modesty, Nommo Ogo, Carlito Verde and the likes of. Later I was to play upstairs after Monotekktoni which was the last live act performing that night. This girl describes herself as heavy listening electronic voice core which is a fine definition of what she does. Although her stuff is very rhythmic and includes a lot of distortion and noise it also refers to experimental spoken word / voice experiment kind of music which is more meant to be listened to. Mentioning Bjork as a reference point would be to easy just because Monotekktoni is another female doing weird things with her voice on top of abstract electronic beats but on the other hand it is ok to do for giving a clue what happened there. Mrs. Gudmundsdottir, forgive me for that kind of namedropping.
Anyway, people were willing to dance after her show and started moving slowly to some dub techno kind of stuff I dropped after opening with Stereotyp & St. Paul Hilaire's "Stand Up" on G Stone which once again proved that every quality track has a special place and time it should be played in a set. For me this is the one that's able to break the ice if a crowd like this consisting of electronic dance music headz and Stoner-/Psychedelic-Rock people needs a special command to move on the floor, just due to it's warmth and organic feel. Finally the whole set developed into a quite hypnotic selection of dubby minimal tracks, AcidGrunge and 'troity strings - early Ken Ishii tunes, Jammin Unit's "Alibey" on Djungle Fever, Psychick Warriors Ov Gaia, Donnacha Costello and again Marco Passarani just to name a few - until Berlin based DJ Anais took over a moving crowd at about 3.30 a.m. .
Shoutouts to the pack of PsyTrance-headz accompanying me on my way to S-Bahn Plänterwald, all of us soaking wet from heavy rain but in a happy & positive mood - hope to see ya again once in while, although I forgot to ask for names...

Carl Craig's in town...

Yes, May 19th is a thursday and for Hamburg-citizens this ain't a usual day to hang out in clubs, but this special date should be handled as an exception from the norm. At the lovely little Tanzhalle in the centre of St.Pauli-area we'll find the legendary Detroit-based DJ & producer Carl Craig on the decks tonite. Doors open at 11 p.m. and the place is gonna be packed so showing up early is recommended.

Parts in the post, pt. 1

Two new albums out these days which I got as advanced copies last week.

Anticon.'s Yoni Wolf a.k.a. Why? recorded his "Sanddollars E.P." under the same moniker as head of a band of four, which leaves Experimental HipHop far behind and reminds me of a mixture of Folk-elements and weird 70's SurfRock combined with typical Anticon.-styled Rap. Interesting, but not exactly my cup of tea to be honest...

Straight from the heart of Berlin comes a compilation called "Piepshow Compilation #00" which represents the musical style of every sunday's afterhour @ the legendary - not only for his party hardy massive but also for it's sexually explicit attitude - KitKatClub. Runnin' for more than a decade now the Piepshow is afaik the longest running afterhour in the german capitol and features residents DJ Flash, Qualle and Sereno plus guests on the decks.
What kinda music is represented? Quite everything from pumping Progressive House to driving Techno and explicit Wet&Hard-tracks from the likes of Corvin Dalek or Eiven Major and the same sounds can be found on this compilation as well. Released on Hamburg's Highball Music it's a good thrill for all the techheadz out there, although the artwork looks a a bit ...errrm... gay.

Detailed reviews that I did on both records can be found at m-conspiracy.de

EBM reloaded

The Hamburg-based Techno-producer CS , well known for his project Rotorik , relaunched his early 90's EBM-project T-E-T / Travailleur En Trance and released his debut album "Ultima Ratio Intervention" on Kampfbeat! Manoeuvre a few days ago which features - apart from re-edited early tunes like "Arbeiter Der Stirne / Arbeiter Der Faust" - several new tracks plus remixes from the likes of Daniel B. Prothese of Front 242-fame, Mark Hawkins or Dave Tarrida. A true sonic force this is, recommended for those oldskool EBM-headz as well as people who do love the new skool of EBM-/Industrial-influenced techno stuff revealed by The Hacker, Vitalic, The Horrorist and such... And btw - it's a limited edition of 500 CD-albums which might be sold out even quicker than you can get hold of a copy. Of course, this is available at Hamburg's Otaku Records , so if you are interested in purchasing this item just get in touch and they'll help ya out even if your not from Germany as they also do international mailorder on request.

Trip to Berlin

Next weekend baze.djunkiii's going down to play a double weekender in Berlin, spreading what might be called Minimal, Intelligent or Ambient Techno as well as weird ElectroPhonk. This for sure means a selection ranged Rhythm&Sound to Terminal Antwerp, including artists as well as Plasticman, Psychick Warriors Ov Gaia, Marco Passarani and the likes of. On Friday 20th he'll play at a small underground location called Hotel Lux, which has no official website or anything to refer to but can be found near U+S stop Frankfurter Allee at Pettenkoferstrasse 4c. All I heard about that place was quite positive so I bet it'll be a fun night out there.

Hope to see some of my berlin mates there or at least here




which is the place to be on Saturday May 21st. The Insel is known to quite everybody which has been partying in Berlin and is surely worth a trip that day - not only for the electronic music lovers but for everyone as The Psychedelic Avengers Space Experience is also featuring a good bunch of interesting bands from the field of Stoner-/Psychedelic-/SpaceRock.

The whole LineUp looks like this and includes more extra features like special SciFi-Slideshows, Space Cocktails etc.

Colour Haze
Rotoskop
Hypnos 69
The Psychedelic Avengers
Niagara Gain vs. Ameisenautomat
The Stonedudes

Wonga
Jens Kupillas

The old nitestylez.de is dead...

Hey y'all folks
some of you people out there might be a bit confused due to the change of concept of this website. As an ongoing lack of time and - of course - a shitload of other projects did not allow to take hold of the old concept of nitestylez.de being a webzine featuring party pre- and reviews as well as a lot of record reviews this thing will now work as a newsboard and linkmachine.
As a message to all of my press-partners, agencies and such - baze.djunkiii is still doing record reviews for magazines as Raveline , m-conspiracy.de and future-music.net so please keep me posted with news and promos...
Throughout the next days I'm working on the complete relaunch of this site so please be patient as not everything might work or look properly at present
