let's get ravey


Das britische Duo La Roux gilt als die "Pop-Hoffnung" für 2009: So gab es bereits eine gemeinsame Tour mit Lilly Allen und eine Singleauskopplung beim legendären französischen Hipster-Label Kitsuné. Jetzt erscheint ihre neue Single "In For The Kill".

Das Original ist nicht so ganz nach meinem Geschmack (...ein wenig zu sehr 80's...). Der Skream Remix aber beweist absolute Klasse:

and the winner is...


Die Gewinner der Verlosungsaktion stehen fest und wurden per E-Mail informiert!
we love music wünscht viel Spaß!!!

bremen to detroit


Die Achse Detroit - Berlin - Hamburg hatten die Lauschdochmal-Veranstalter ja schon des öfteren bis nach Bremen zu verlängern versucht. Und bisher war ihnen das - mit dem Booking der deutschen Minimal Techno/Deephouse Speerspitze (Ostgut Ton/ DIAL / Smallville u.s.w.) - ja auch durchaus geglückt. Jetzt allerdings sind erstmalig DJ's aus der Mutterstadt des gepflegten Viervierteltakts in unserer beschaulichen Hansestadt zu Gast:

Patrice Scott ist seit Anfang der 80er im Geschäft und hat bereits gemeinsam mit Legenden wie Jeff Mills, Carl Craig oder auch Larry Heard aufgelegt. Zudem - so wurde kolpotiert - handelt es sich bei Scott um den Lieblings-DJ von keinem geringerem als Efdemin.


Außerdem wird Scott's Labelkollege, der gebürtige Düsseldorfer und stetige Weltenbummler in Sachen Musik, Andy Vaz mit einem Live-Act zu begeistern wissen.


Wer am 30.04. GRATIS beim Maitanz im Zucker-Club dabei sein möchte, schreibt einfach eine E-Mail an wlvmsc@web.de. WICHTIG: Vornamen nicht vergessen!!! Die Gewinner werden rechtzeitig benachrichtigt.

i'm a remix baby so why don't you kill me?


Beck seine Songs sind eigentlich so gut, dass sie keine Remixes brauchen... Aber Ausnahmen bestätigen ja bekanntlich die Regel.

Deswegen hier eine kleine Auswahl an wirklich gelungenen Remix-Arbeiten (man beachte besonders das genialisch verbolzte "The Beat" -Sample in Diplos "Wish Coin (Got It Alone)"-Remix!!!):

Über Kayne West haben wir uns an dieser Stelle ja schon des öfteren amüsiert. In der neuesten Episode von South Park wird auch herzhaft über ihn gelästert. Und auch eine Reaktion darauf hat der "gedisste" Superstar schon verlauten lassen. In seinem (?) Blog schreibt er:

"SOUTH PARK MURDERED ME LAST NIGHT AND IT'S PRETTY FUNNY. IT HURTS MY FEELINGS BUT WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM SOUTH PARK! I ACTUALLY HAVE BEEN WORKING ON MY EGO THOUGH. HAVING THE CRAZY EGO IS PLAYED OUT AT THIS POINT IN MY LIFE AND CAREER. I USE TO USE IT TO BUILD UP MY ESTEEM WHEN NOBODY BELIEVED IN ME. NOW THAT PEOPLE DO BELIEVE AND SUPPORT MY MUSIC AND PRODUCTS THE BEST RESPONSE IS THANK YOU INSTEAD OF "I TOLD YOU SO!!!" IT'S COOL TO TALK SHIT WHEN YOU'RE RAPPING BUT NOT IN REAL LIFE. WHEN YOU MEET LITTLE WAYNE IN PERSON HE'S THE NICEST GUY FOR EXAMPLE. I JUST WANNA BE A DOPER PERSON WHICH STARTS WITH ME NOT ALWAYS TELLING PEOPLE HOW DOPE I THINK I AM. I NEED TO JUST GET PAST MYSELF. DROP THE BRAVADO AND JUST MAKE DOPE PRODUCT. EVERYTHING IS NOT THAT SERIOUS. AS LONG AS PEOPLE THINK I ACT LIKE A BITCH THIS TYPE OF SHIT WILL HAPPEN TO ME. I GOT A LONG ROAD AHEAD OF ME TO MAKE PEOPLE BELIEVE I'M NOT ACTUALLY A HUGE DOUCHE BUT I'M UP FOR THE CHALLENGE. I'M SURE THE WRITERS AT SOUTH PARK ARE REALLY NICE PEOPLE IN REAL LIFE. THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO DRAW MY CREW. THAT WAS PRETTY FUNNY ALSO!! I'M SURE THERE'S GRAMMATICAL ERRORS IN THIS... THAT'S HOW YOU KNOW IT'S ME!"

let's get it on


Soullegende Marvin Gaye wäre heute 70 Jahre alt geworden - hätte ihn nicht sein eigener Vater, gestern vor 25 Jahren, bei einem Streit erschossen.

"At Motown, Marvin was one of the main characters in the greatest musical story ever told. Prior to that, nothing quite like Motown had ever existed -- all those songwriters, singers, producers working and growing together, part family, part business -- and I doubt seriously if it will ever happen like that again. And there's no question that Marvin will always be a huge part of the Motown legacy.

When Marvin first came to Motown, he was the drummer on all the early hits I had with the Miracles. He and I became close friends -- he was my brother, really -- and I did a lot of production and wrote a lot of songs for him: "Ain't That Peculiar," "I'll Be Doggone." Of course, that means that I spent a lot of time waiting for Marvin. See, Marvin was basically late coming to the studio all the time. But I never minded, because I knew that whenever Marvin did get there, he was going to sing my song in a way that I had never imagined it. He would Marvinize my songs, and I loved it. Marvin could sing anything, from gospel to gutbucket blues, to jazz, to pop.

But Marvin was much more than just a great singer. He was a great record maker, a gifted songwriter, a deep thinker -- a real artist in the true sense. What's Going On is the most profound musical statement in my lifetime. It never gets dated. Listen to it right now -- "Brother, brother, brother/ There's far too many of you dying" -- it's even more poignant than it was when he made it. I still remember when I would go by Marvin's house and he was working on it, he would say, "Smoke, this album is being written by God, and I'm just the instrument that he's writing it through."

Marvin really had it all -- that voice, that soul, that look, too. He was one very handsome man, and he had sex appeal that women were drawn to always. And his music was sexy, not just "Let's Get It On" or "I Want You," but all of it. You couldn't blame women for falling in love with Marvin.

Beyond being his friend and his brother, I'm a major Marvin Gaye fan. At the time Marvin was alive, his was my favorite male voice. I said before that when you worked with Marvin, it meant you were waiting for Marvin. But Marvin was always worth the wait. I suppose that in a way, I'm still waiting for Marvin."
