If you are searching for “Bonaparte” at Google’s Images Search, you will find nearly as much pictures of Napoleon as of our beloved Electro Punk band from Berlin. That really tells you a lot about Tobias Jundt and his crazy circus bunch! Now Bonaparte have released a new video for their song Mañana Forever. Check it our after the jump.

If you believe in the Mayan predictions, the end of the world is very near. You may think the idea is nothing but absurd, but if you don’t want to be sitting on your sofa when the big day comes, you gotta make sure you go out and appreciate the last hours of life. This week can be the perfect excuse to party or to get some last sips of culture and if by some strange miracles the world doesn’t end on Friday, there is still much going on during the weekend. Decide yourself how the world is going to end with the events after the jump!

For three years the American-Iranian photographer Melissa Hostetler has toured with the Berlin band Bonaparte around the world. On her pictures she not only shows the wild performances of the hedonistic Emperor and his court, she also looks behind the scenes. Check out more information about her photobook 3 Years in the Heart of Bonaparte and a preview after the jump.

In the past decade, Berlin developed into a European music mecca. Artists from all over Germany and the world moved here because of the inexpensive living costs and the unique artistic atmosphere. But apart from electronic music, what actually are the best bands from Berlin? I set up a very subjective list with my favourite four. More after the jump.

This week starts big with those few Halloween parties that took the timing a bit more serious. On Wednesday we have a re-opening of an old familiar party in a brand new club, on Thursday we’ll also meet an old familiar dinner club coming back to life, while Friday and Saturday are an eclectic mix of music, art, fashion and parties. The details after the jump.

I am tired of conducting the usual interviews. That’s why we developed a new interview design: we ask musicians, bands and DJs about – music. We just send them some songs and they tell us whatever they think about it. And don’t be afraid: this is not only about techno music, it is about music of all kinds of genres.
Our first interview partner is Bonaparte. This band doesn’t need an introduction anymore. Just type in “Bonaparte” into Google’s picture search: on the first page there are as many pictures of the French emperor as of the hedonistic freedom army from Berlin.
In our interview we have asked the Emperor about the music of – among others – Michael Jackson, Serge Gainsbourgh and Lady Gaga.
