Iftah and Olaf from Skinnerbox met in 2002 at a spontaneous, improvised jam session that featured a keyboard, a guitar and a kazoo. Since then, much has changed in regard to the instruments, but when performing live, Skinnerbox still plays exclusively improvised music, always crossing the boundaries of electronic music.

Jahcoozi is a multinational band from Berlin, consisting of MC Sasha Perera (London / Sri Lanka), producer Robot Koch (Berlin) and bass player Oren Gerlitz (Tel Aviv). In April they released their latest album Barefoot Wanderer.
Jahcoozi’s music merges genres like Grime, Dubstep Punk Rock, Hip Hop and various blends of electronica to create a unique definition of pop music. For their new album, they also collaborated with a Kenyan dancehall/reggae crew and an Israeli clay pot percussionist (this is the first time I use that term).
For more information about World Music 2.0, check out our interview with Robot Koch and Oren Gerlitz.

Last Week, at the Subject 60 event, Frank and me got the chance to interview Swedish shooting star and style icon Lykke Li after her concert. We met a very tired girl that now, sitting in front of us in this massive hall, seemed totally unlike the self confident person she presented on stage. Looking closely at her enormous shoes she seemed like the girl next door wearing a pair of extraterrestrial shoes. We tried our best on rather focussing on the music thing than on fashion, though. Did it work? Read yourself after the jump: Read on – Weiterlesen »

A few weeks ago I was invited by Peek&Cloppenburg to interview one of the finalists of the next Designer for Tomorrow Award. I was more than thrilled because I’m a big fan of this project. The designers that were presenting last summer were all really amazing and the winner, Sam Frenzeln, is to me one of the most promissing designers from Berlin. So of course I am looking forward to the 8 designers of the next fashion show that is going to take place in early July. Of course I was not the only blogger who got invited: Lisa from La Lila, Jessie from Les Mads, Judith from What’s wrong with the zoo, Katharina from I♥Ponys Mag, Mahret from Fnart, Mary from Quite Contrary and David from Dandy Diary where the interview partners of the other seven contestants.
Coincedently, the designer I picked was Irene Luft, who we already wrote about here a while ago. You can check out my video interview with her over at the DfT blog. A group photo of the designers and the bloggers after the jump.

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!
