Typical Italo-disco, which couldn't be more typical! Hard hitting and pumped with highest energy, which makes us lucky and happy! Bought sometime somewhere in Germany. ZYX-Press, what else!
Berlin Madness! We had such a great night on Friday last week with beautiful vibes at Kreuzbergs Killer Spot Soju! That bar/club/karaoke thing Soju is around the famous Skalitzer Strasse in Kreuzberg and can be outlined as a dessert place for the Kimchi Princess restaurant. Both places are next to each other and our new friend and music enthusiast Hyun Wanner is the manager of both places. He's doing his job very good! Those korean billboards are true eyecatchers and complement this cosy and graceful place perfectly with its good soundsystem and fantastic drinks!
And Yes, we played over 9 hours of our favourite music, together with our terrific all-time homie Hunee! What a blast! It's always very inspirational to see Hunee playing records, as he is so avid with music and super energetic! There is nuthin' but 100% passion in it! We're highly thankful for everything, Hunee, Soju and Hyun, all the dancers and our dear Ulmer who showed up and made a great night even greater!
Yes i did it! After 3 years of abstinence i created finally a new M.I.X.! Incredible how this could have happened! It's not a big one, just 10 songs, but i think on the whole worth to listen at. I've focused on Scandinavian disco and boogie from mostly Finnland and Sweden.
up north, my friends!

Here we go with the lesser known b-side track on Mac Machines monster-12" Tears. From 1985. Produced by Toncooperative Kassel. Arranged by Jürgen Guckuck and Mac Machine. Mastering: Ebel Tonstudiotechnik, Kassel.
Gilla's LP "Zieh mich aus" is extremely german-shoecream-disco with this naive feel-good factor which is usually focused on the mainstream-audience. Anyhow, some rockin' track is included...
We make hot things even hotter, deep things deeper and weird things even weirder. All tonight at our cherished radio show on radio free fm, from ten till midnight on 102.6 MHz or stream here!Tune in if you feel free and get your bleepgeeks vitamins.
Our heading "Three Records to go for!!!" is meant to highlight you some records, mostly newer ones, that turned out into the bleepgeeks music radar through utterly coincidences, well researched record hunts or any other fortunate circumstances. The stuff we introduce can be dance music, comedy, non-dance music, originals, reissues, bootlegs or limited pieces, we don't separate!
In some cases we just liked the Cover of that Record, sometimes we made a mispurchase and sometimes our mandibles came off because of the music which was carved into the rills!
We won't do any reviews, puffing these records up to holy grails or slam them into wax garbage!
It's just made for you to (hopefully) discover new music and new sleeves! We wish you a lot of fun while finding these records at your local record shop on the streets or in your world wide virtual reality through clicking on to your favourite record stop!
Catchy B-Side with fly away appeal, growing big at the end. Filled with vocoder stuff and e-guitars and english (i suppose) female guest singers. Otherwise very germanesque. Produced by Emmo Reiss for Ton + Vision. Engineered by Piotr Siedlaczek/Mixed by Andy Lunn at Artlab Studios/Frankfurt. Uwe Schlürmann (Vocals), Mathias Baumgardt (Guitar), Christian Felke (Sax./Keyb), Peter Koch (Perc./Drums), Elaine and Amy Goff (Vocals).
This post is dedicated to my friend Ari from the Beautiful Swimmers, who reminded me of this little beauty from the deep and spectacular Nu Groove vaults!
The Record simply shows the vast diversity of our beloved and cult New York dance Label Nu Groove Records, which mainly operated from late eighties until the golden New York house years of the early nineties in an exemplary way(mistakenly considered by many as a straight House and Techno imprint). As the name implies, The Smooth Track is a dreamy, light and jazzy downbeat affair, spreading magic over eight minutes to get lost in it. I always want to have a repeat button on my turntable when i hear this! Thanks Ari, for making me dig this gem out again. Smooth greetings to D.C.!
The Nation Records Headquarter is celebrating a little jubilee with its 10th installment of their popular and high quality podcast series. Traxx, the Nation Boss himself took his hands on duties and gave away an old cassette-tape recording after long and deep research sessions in his own basement. What we get is a mix called Lifeless Future with raw and intense music sounding even rawer with that smart feeling of analogue recordings, clicks and noises included. It's a deep and evolving ride through the musical universe of Jakbeat mastermind Traxx. We're looking forward to have him dj our december night! Well, JACK IT TO THE MAX!
A cloudbuster (or cloud buster) is a device invented by Austrian psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich with the purpose of draining clouds of "orgone energy". Reich believed that such energy surrounded the earth, and that a cloudbuster would act as a rain-maker. Reich conducted dozens of experiments with the cloudbuster, calling the research "Cosmic Orgone Engineering."
"Cloudbusting" is a song that was written, produced and performed by the British singer Kate Bush. It was the second single released from her no.1 1985 album Hounds of Love. "Cloudbusting" peaked at no.20 in the UK Singles Chart.
The song is a look at a special relationship between a boy and his father. It describes psychologist Wilhelm Reich's arrest and imprisonment through the eyes of his young son, Peter. Reich's son later wrote his father's story in the book A Book Of Dreams, published in 1973, on which the song is based. Wilhelm Reich is the inventor of the cloudbuster, which the rain machine in the video and on the cover of the single closely resembles.
Cloudbusting ist eine Entdeckung Dr. Wilhelm Reichs. Den Wolken wird Orgonenergie entzogen und so regnen sie ab. Man kann aber auch Feuchtigkeit heranziehen oder aber den Himmel von Schadstoffen säubern. Wegen der Möglichkeit zur großen Macht, die damit verbunden ist, gehört Cloudbusting nur in verantwortungsvolle Hände. Die Operateure müssen charakterlich integer sein (uns einen Nachweis darüber erbringen können) und über das nötige Verantwortungsbewusstsein verfügen. Größere Operationen benötigen die gesetzlichen Voraussetzungen sowie die Möglichkeit zur Warnung für die betroffenen Gebiete.

The Little Otik is a new and very pleasant addition to the rich and diverse restaurant scenery of Berlin. It opened its doors just a few months ago in August and i already heard a lot of good things about the dishes served over there. Run by our friend Jeffrey Sfire(who incidentally comes amongst our favourite italo djs) and his Partner Kevin Avery from New York, Little Otik serves quality and classic european dishes, supporting local cultivation and farmers, plus fruit and vegetable purchases on the markets in and around Berlin, by sophisticated chief Avery.
It is a follow up to their highly successfull Palisaden Supper Club dinner project, were they monthly invited 10 people(by e-mail processing) to their home for a three course meal. The small and sought-out menu of Gräfestraße 10 based Little Otik changes nearly every day(as its printed on a daily basis) and is mostly based on vegetarian dishes and various types of meats on the main course. One of the most eye-cathing things about the menu is the wide choice of desserts like Apple Almond Crumb Pie or Parsnip Cake with Brown Sugar Caramel, which surely makes sweet teeths very happy!
Opening times are from Wednesday till Saturday starting at 6 in the evening. My friends told me that its wise to make a reservation(tel. 030-50362301). I'm already looking forward to say hi to Jeffrey and getting my belly satisfied!
