If you try to remember a really good party, there is one problem: most of the time you can’t remember anything. If I try to remember to best parties of the past months, I can at least recall that David Dorad was playing there. In an interview, the Berlin based DJ tells us which of his
performances he won’t forget.

I can’t recall when and where I saw Turmspringer for first time. Presumably, it was at the Golden Gate. Since then I have experienced them quite often at this and at other venues. At some point it became clear to me that if Turmspringer is playing at a party, it can’t be a bad party. More information and an interview with Edgar Peng (Robert) and Didier de la Boutique (Tim) after the click.
If you want to see Turmspringer performing, you shouldn’t miss Fuck me now and love me later on April 17 at Arena Club.

Honestly, I didn’t want to got there. To the new Tresor. It would be sad, so very very sad, visiting a club that was part of your teenager life, a place where you spend endless nights, met friends for one night or longer. Some did stay, some of them I never saw again. All these memories..The last time I went to the old Tresor, I felt so weird, like a freak. The people had changed so much, they all seem to look the same and they didn’t like my looks, I could tell that. Too alternative to them. Where did all the good people go? The tolerant people I was used to hang out with, the people from the early days. Or was it me who had changed? I couldn’t figure out. However, when I was invited to the Axolotl Roadkill event, I thought I should have a look, I mean, after all these years..Axolotl Roadkill is a bestseller, written by the talented director-daughter Helene Hegemann, when she was only aged 16!

Since our dear colleague and founder of this blog has his birthday today ( and left us alone in order to go to Barcelona, probably to meet some Spanish hotties ) yesterday evening some of his friends met for a little drink and delicious sweets like Barcomi’s cheesecake at Neu Bar, Greifswalderstr. I took one or two pics with my little camera for you to watch after the jump:

If you are just like me looking for an antidote to the cold weather outside, check out the pictures of photographer Sandy Kim. Sandy Kim is based in San Francisco, her pictures appear in magazines such as Vice and Magic - Revue Pop Moderne, and if I look at her photos right now, I just have one wish: to be right there, in sunny San Francisco, on a party with these very people.
Check out a tiny interview and a selection of her wonderful photos after the jump.

The Makers: Interview with Channel X
The “X” in the name of the DJ and producer team Channel X stands for the unexpected and the endless possibilities that come with the production of electronic music. One of these possibilities is a perfect party - and Channel X certainly knows how to do that. More information and an interview with Channel X after the jump.

The Makers: Interview with Super700
There are bands that you have to see live, and there are bands that do just great recordings. A band that you definitely have to experience on stage is Super700 from Berlin. On December 2 they are playing their last show for 2009 at Lido. In anticipation to their performance I talked with them about Berlin and their current album. Check out the interview after the jump.

When I’m observing tourists in the city I always wonder what they are really looking for. Because Berlin is not really known for its monuments or avenues or sights . Even clubs, theaters or gallerys are not the real essence of the city. What makes this city so unique ist the people who live here. As declamatory this may sound. And Berlin is not just made of the hipster crowd consisting of young, lost and indestructible single girls and boys (even if this blog sometimes give this impression). Berlin is full of normal people who live their life like everybody else. Yes, it’s true that in Berlin there are a lot of hungry artists and foreigners and even some rich bitches. Berlin has all the varieties and the similarities of a big city. Berlin has the extreme and the normal meeting at every street corner without even noticing each other. And Berlin has Gisi. So if you posses a little bit of German skills you should not miss to meet Gisi just after the jump.

They call him The Hunter, but his bait is not boar but fashion, and his taste is quite exquisite: Bernhard Willhelm, Gareth Pugh, Marcel Ostertag, Raf Simons and Romain Kremer are on the rags of his fine boutique in Prenzlauerberg.
For the upcoming Berlin Fashion Week he wants to recreate the iconic 80s fashion collective The Antwerp Six by inviting 6 new promising design talents from Antwerp’s Royal Academy of Fine Arts to his showroom to present their unique collections.
We talked to Rene Schopf, one of the men behind The Hunter about Berlin, fashion and fashion in Berlin. Read on for the interview and more details.

The Makers: Interview with tape.tv creator Conrad Fritzsch
That music television nowadays is poluted by cheesy reality shows and ringtone ads really is a shame to me. The non-stop music channel MTV Music that you can receive digitally is an ok substitute, but when you have that running in the background you get the feeling that they are playing the same videos over and over again. Stumbling upon tape.tv a few month back was somehow like finding the holy grail. Here I found a seemingly endless number of music videos played in a row. And not only the mainstream stuff, also some undiscovered pearls that make the whole thing worth while. You can even influence the playlist by entering an artist or genre that you like.
We’ve met up with Conrad Fritzsch, the founder of tape.tv, and talked to him about music, television and Berlin. More of that after the jump.
