Now, in the coldest time of the year, the next summer, and the next Fusion Festival, seems very far away. With temperatures dropping down to -20° and the city covered in snow, the idea of dancing in the sun is quite hard to imagine. But there are “just” 145 more days to go until the next Fusion starts! To celebrate this countdown, here are some picture from the Fusion Festival 2010.

We are often following the hypes of people we like. We follow the recommendations of our friends and enjoy things they like to do because in the end everything can be good and bad depending of your perspective. I heard so many beautiful stories of Nicolas Jaar concerts of people I trust blindly in their taste of music that I wanted to go in any case to the concert he was giving on Monday at Berghain. In the end I was a little disapointed. Not because it was bad, but just because it couldn’t measure up with the hype my friends build around it. For people who are less susceptible as I am I recommend definetly to check out one of his concerts for example tonight at Berghain.

In 2011, the number of techno record releases has increased significantly. Due to software such as Ableton it has become a Kindergarten game to produce electronic music. Nowadays everybody who can push a software button calls himself a producer.
However, quantity is not quality. Most of the electronic music that was produced in 2011 will be forgotten in 2012. Nevertheless, there were also a significant number of tracks this year that I will always remember. Have a look after the jump to see my very personal selection of the five best electronic tracks in 2011.

Even though their last album Head First was not really my cup of tea, Goldfrapp still remains one of my all-time favorite bands with amazing songs such as Utopia, Strict Machine, Oh La La and A&E. In the beginning of Febuary 2012 they will release their first Best Of album summing up all their singles plus two brand new songs. One of them has been released a few days ago: the charming and dreamy Yellow Halo, with a video that was shot with an iPhone by director Lisa Gunning who also happens to be Alison Goldfrapp’s girlfriend. Have a look at it after the jump.

A few weeks ago we were invited by tape.tv to join the 100th edition of their series of rooftop concerts. For the special anniversary they invited the wonderful Florence & The Machine to perform a few of her songs from her great new album Ceremonials on the rooftop of the Kater Holzig. What a magnificent afternoon this was!! Now the video of the concert was finally released. Have a look at it after the jump!

Am I getting old, or why is one my favourite local berlin bands celebrating their 10th anniversary? Nevertheless it is a great reason to celebrate. Pitchtuner has shown us for years how a band cannot just be fun and inspiring to watch and to dance with but also innovative regarding their invention of instruments and crazy soundsystem. The sweet and sexy German/Japanese couple not only rocks with crazy melodies but sings directly to your heart with their Japanese lyrics. The party this Friday will be something to really look forward to with a Goose DJ set and several other cool acts apart to Pitchtuner. We will throw out some guestlist spots on our facebook page. After the jump you can find a flyer to the party and some really nice videos.
