by Andreas Boettcher & Jan Schimmang on April 30th, 2008

Well done acoustic performance of “That´s not my name” for MTV. And in the second video you will find Jules de Martino´s anecdote about their night in Paris.

Cut Copy recommends …
by Andreas Boettcher & Jan Schimmang on April 22nd, 2008
It was in 2004 when their debut “Bright like neon love” were blowing minds. Perfect pop. And now again: Cut Copy have a brilliant flow and the single “Lights & music” is just a teaser for the whole great new album released in march on Modular.

Weekend-Starters: Chromatics & Mark Seven
by Andreas Boettcher on April 16th, 2008
DONNERSTAG
Wenn man Bands nennen sollte, die sich 2007 vor allem durch das Internet und der Blogosphäre einen Namen gemacht haben, fallen die Chromatics sicherlich in jeden Pollpott. Sie sind neben Glass Candy die Vorzeigeband des Labels Italiens Do It Better und betreten zum ersten mal europäisches Festland. Neo-Disco-Wave, um mal eine Schublade zu öffnen, im Ambiente des Rotes Salons. Empfehlung: die ersten sein, bevor TV, Printmagazine und verspätete Musiknerds die Entdecker sein wollen. DJ-Support vom Labelboss himself, Mike Simonetti.
FREITAG
Das Tempo wird heute angezogen und tanzbarer. Die Berliner DJ-Institution abseits des Geklöppels, Hunee, lehrt uns mit seiner Veranstaltung The Loveroom bereits regelmäßig, das die ungebändigte Leidenschaft zum Genre Disco wieder auf den Dancefloor gehört. Diesmal kehrt bereits zum dritten mal Mark Seven zurück ins Tape. Wer den Besitzer von Juswax Records bei einem seiner letzten Besuche erleben durfte, weiß seine Virtuosität hinter den Plattentellern zu schätzen. Leftfield, Balearic, Black Disco, alles wird gemixt, Hauptsache der Mann selbst rennt wie beim letzten mal selber vor das Pult um zu tanzen. Soundcheck!
Mark Seven in Berlin, am 18. April im Tape
