  • überlin DJing at Metal Meltdown!

    Category:

    If you’re a fan of metal and/or mental nights out, I have a special date for you to carve into your arm. On Friday 21st June, I will be joining Mike T West from Feeling Gloomy Berlin spinning Satan’s greatest hits in Neukölln k-hole Loophole, at the after party for Wasted Rita’s solo exhibition at idrawalot gallery next door.

    Entitled “Human Beings – God’s only mistake”, the Portuguese artist’s Berlin exhibition is inspired by “too many hours spent in a religious college, an adolescence distorted by Black Flag and a massive willpower to take over the world.” Our suitably nihilistic soundtrack of metal, hardcore, punk, thrash, grind, emocetera. kicks off at 11:30pm and ends when our bangovers kick in.

    Scroll down for full deets, and to hear a little bit of the horrors that await you. If you have song requests, add them to this collaborative Spotify playlist, and I may even play them, come witching hour. The whole thing I think is sick!

  • Daily Deutsch Doodle: Hasenbrot

    Category:

    Hasenbrot

    by Mariana, a miserável

    Daily Deutsch Doodles are a series of illustrations based on contributions to the #dailydeutsch Twitter hashtag, aimed at helping people trying to learn German.

    Hasenbrot by Mariana, a miserável, a Portuguese artist whose solo showroom exhibition opens today at idrawalot gallery in Neukölln (event details).

    Hasenbrot translates into “bunny bread” or “hare bread”, describing the leftover sandwich that was not eaten at work and brought back home by the worker. Apparently, lumberjacks used to claim that the food in question was nibbled by rabbits!

      In Austria, a Hasenbrot means old, hard bread to feed bunnies. Maybe that’s an explanation?

      Yes, I’m german and LOVE to eat the Hasenbrot from my long gone dad when I was a kid! :-)

      Hasenbrot. I almost forgot hat this existed! Us kids would love to eat my parents Hasenbrot. Not sure why, maybe because it happens very seldom they brought their sandwich back home again. Never knew where this originated from. Thanks for teaching me something new ;)

        No worries! As a not-native speaker trying to uncover the meaning of a long-forgotten word… I *hope* my explanation is correct!

    OneBeat at Brunnen70
    Wedding basement bar Brunnen70 (guess the address!) will showcase live acts, VJs and DJs playing beats, electronica and dub. We’re most looking forward to a live set from Wermonster, who, among other things, creates tracks from sounds recorded around Berlin… but we imagine the foundant au chocolat cupcakes will also be a big draw. Sweet ;)
