    We’re DJing nineties and noughties hip hop and RN’B at this Nordic by Nature event – plus we have 2 x 2 guestlist spots to give away!

    FluxFriday BLOG PARTY

    How can you argue with that flyer? Grumpy Cat, Kells in tears and our blog buddies immortalised as the stars of 90s hip hop and pop! For the record, that’s me as Biggie Smalls and Zo as Missy Elliott, with the rest of our DJ crew rounded out by: Lucy vs. the Globe, Nordic by Nature, Ponydanceclyde (together, the Spice Girls) and Mike from Feeling Gloomy Berlin (Lil Wayne).

    Back by popular demand, we’re throwing another ghetto fabulous blog party next Friday (20th September) at FluxBau on the Spree. The last edition was super-crowded, so make sure you reserve your place on the dancefloor by buying tickets here.

      Haddaway’s “What Is Love” for the German-American win!
      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhrBDcQq2DM

      In an extra weird twist, Digital Cosmonaut told us Haddaway played American Football for the Cologne Crocodiles in the late 80s – early 90s. I think Germans have an internal catalog of every famous German.

      My favourite is definitely ‘No Diggity’ by Blackstreet. Many covers have been made but the original is still the best.

    Why did I think Is Tropical were French? Maybe because they are signed to über-hip Parisian label Kitsuné, and their amazing video for “The Greeks” features French kids performing acts of cartoon ultraviolence on each other. Anyway, they’re actually from London – home of whatever we’re calling the second wave of new rave, the indie-electro bands that have followed Klaxons into the mainstream. But to add to the geographical confusion, Is Tropical have produced one of our favourite songs about the city we love, featured below. If you’d like to see the band’s storming live set, we’re giving away two pairs of tickets – scroll down for deets!

    HOW TO WIN 2 X TICKETS FOR IS TROPICAL AT COMET CLUB ON 31ST MAY:

    Want to see Is Tropical play “Berlin” IN BERLIN??? Just answer this question in the comments below:

    What is your favourite song about Berlin?

    You have until 6pm on Thursday 30th May. Good luck!

  • Win tickets to Pelagic Fest, Berlin’s prog metal masterclass

    by

    Category:

    By Mike T West.

    Scheisse! We’ve barely had time to recover from the decadent sludge-gasm that was Desertfest before we once again don our capes for Pelagic Fest, an entire evening dedicated to pure European progessive metal.

    HEADBANGERS AND MUSIC GEEKS UNITE!

    Pelagic Fest

    On Friday May 10th, Berlin-based Pelagic Records are presenting the majority of their label roster on the same stage, banishing the clean spring air well into the night. Expect complicated riffage, virginal sacrifice and beer spilled all at the altar of Prog.

    Among the acts appearing are hometown lads The Ocean, who are unleashing their fantastic shiny new sixth album Pelagial. An experimental metal album record around the layers of the sea… WAIT! Come back – this is a concept album for those who don’t like concept albums! Reminiscent of early Mastodon or Tool at their brightest, Pelagial is a strong contender for metal album of the year and a bonafide instant genre classic.

    And just when you thought it was safe to go outside again, Sweden’s answer to tinnitus, Cult Of shitting Luna, are headlining in support of their new post-metal masterpiece, Vertikal. Not to be outdone by their Germanic peers, the album’s concept is heavily influenced by Fritz Lang’s 1927 film Metropolis and features themes of “machinery, repetition and clear, linear structures.” NERD ALERT!

    HOW TO WIN 2 X GUESTLIST SPOTS FOR PELAGIC FEST AT C-CLUB ON 10TH MAY:

    Santa Claus really has nothing on the kind gents at Pelagic who are giving away two pairs of tickets to this progmetal masterclass! To win just answer the following question:

    If you could record a concept album about Berlin, what would it be called?

    You have until 6pm on Saturday 4th May to enter. Good luck!

    The Boring Bit (yawn, RULES):

    1. You must be 18 years or older to enter.
    2. ONE ENTRY PER PERSON!
    3. Our favourite 2 fake concept album titles win a pair of guestlist spots. Simple as.
    4. Remember to include your full (real) name or we won’t be able to put you on the guestlist!
    5. We will announced the winners via our Facebook page on Sunday 5th May.

    Cult Of Luna and The Ocean are joined by Koma, EF, Abraham, Kruger, Earthship and Lo! 10/05/2013 at C-Club, Columbiadammit 9-11 from 17:00hr. Tickets are available here.

    Trixie Whitley black and white

    Trixie Whitley by Guy Kokken

    Trixie Whitley wants to be known as more than just the daughter of Chris Whitley. The good news for her is that I hadn’t even heard of her singer-songwriter dad, until I happened across her music on Spotify. The former child prodigy obviously inherited her father’s passion and talent for music, teaching herself guitar, piano and drums at a young age, and also dabbling in DJing and ballet. Like her father before her, she’s settled into a bluesy place, playing beautifully orchestrated blue-eyed soul with raw, emotional intensity. We’re looking forward to hearing *that voice* live, and some lucky readers will be able to join us. We have 2 x 2 tickets to giveaway – scroll down to find out how to win a pair.

    HOW TO WIN 2 X TICKETS TO TRIXIE WHITLEY AT POSTBAHNHOF:

    Leave a comment below, with your full (real) name and tell us – if you could chose a famous person as your dad, who would you pick?

    You have until 6pm on Saturday 23rd February to enter. Good luck!

    The Boring Bit (yawn, RULES):

    1. You must be 18 years or older to enter.
    2. We will keep a record of each comment in a database and then a random number generator picks the winner.

      I was just about to write Woody Allen but after some consideration he just seems like a bad choice. So I’m gonna go with Bill Murray. He’s got to be the most amazing dad EVER!

      Hi, guys!

      If I had to choose a famous man to be my dad, I would like it to be Fela Ransome Kuti, the afrobeat pioneer, political activist, ladies man, and most awesome multi-instrumentalist out of Nigeria in the XX century. Aside, he reminds me somehow of my real dad, so it is quite cool.

      I always always always wanted Jack Nicholson to be my dad, as i think he is the coolest bastard on the face of the earth. I recently got drunk and accidentally bought the full Live Aid on DVD, and then got drunk again and watched it, tweeting both Jack and Bette Midler after seeing this clip (around 1.40 when they are both on) and said they were my dream parents. They did not respond. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_xjTqIhShE
