WIN TICKETS: momentum #2 mit Dauwd, Seams, Sly-Fly und… YOU!

by Lucy on May 21, 2013

in GIVEAWAY!, What's On?

momentum #2 mit Dauwd, Seams & Sly-Flymomentum #2 is upon us – and with such a fun momentum #1, how could you actually turn your nose up at this shit. We again have free tickets, so here is your spiel on the artists, and then we have the details/ rules for getting around a free ticket or two. Keep up players.

DAUWD is the exact reason I can never go to gigs on a Thursday – shit screams next level. It’s every moment of a night out I have ever had in Berlin where I’m all like, “meh-techno” and then suddenly there is a big old beat that takes me right back to my disco days – enter a whole lot of fist pumping, love and everything else that I almost immediately regret the next morning.

From there we intro Seams, with his wonderful Four Tet vibe; I could quite easily melt into this shit and never come out. You know when it’s not about the disco but more about the listening. That’s what Seams is. Not that there isn’t head and body movement – but it’s not thrashing around like a (soon to be) dead fish to big whooping beats and hard edges. It’s “elegant” as you Germans would say – and frankly – don’t we all want elegant?

Sly-Fly is kind of a different story – as I have heard very little of old mate. This might be because it is two already established dudes (Georg Hekt and Parallel Concept) having a disco-go together – BUT I’ll tell you what I’m feeling from the music I have heard..? The tropics, but the tropics where the day starts and ends with a cocktail… on a boat. You know those days, where it’s like you have nothing to do but sit lounge and have another drink. That’s what this is for me. It’s the pre-game to a big night – in an outdoor venue where the heat is persistant, the sun rises near a body of water – and everyone “whoops” on queue.

With all this said – we have tickets to give away. Go on with our good-selves. To be honest, I really have no idea what the cost is of the tickets – all I know is that if you don’t get them through us – you can “get them on the door!” – so who knows if this is a banging deal to win (we think they are 10€ – because historically that’s correct, but we can’t be sure).

How do we enter this one? Simple. Comment in the section below, before Thursday 12P, with your answer to….

What is your favourite early 2000′s dance track, and why? 

Mine is Armand Van Helden – You Don’t Even Know Me, because doesn’t it make you want to…. big fish little fish cardboard-box?

All details of the event can be found on the Facebook event page, but just in case this is all too hard, here’s the skinny.

DATE: 23 MAY 2013
VENUE: PRINCE CHARLES
DOORS: 21:00 (that’s 9PM for all that can’t read a 24hr clock)
TICKETS: AT THE DOORS – WE THINK THEY ARE 10€..

MORE INFO

You have until 12P Thursday, 23rd May to enter this and if all else fails – get your tickets at the venue. We are now in the days where summer is upon us, and we should all be getting around that with a clever drinking vibe, or six.

Enter the comp – and (regardless) see you on Thursday. X

GIVEAWAY: KATE BOY IS COMING….We got chatty, we got tickets.

by Lucy on May 21, 2013

in GIVEAWAY!, Interviews, What's On?

Kate BoySo.. What I know from the get go (which to be honest, I only just found out like 15m ago – that all rhymed, I’m killing it.) Kate Boy is three parts Swede, 1 part Australian. Not to call ideal combo or anything – but that would be it. Any more Australian, and it would probably look like the musical episode of Neighbours does the Nordics, and any less – well it would just be Sweden.

Let’s not get me wrong: Sweden is ideal – but Australia is magic (possibly I’m bias). It feels like a totally unusual combination – being entirely on the opposite side of the world from each other, having very small containable populations – perhaps this is why it’s so good.

For a very long time I have loved the absolute bejesus out of Kate Boy -and that was before I even knew that 1 part Australia was involved. Shit’s disco with out even batting an eyelid, it’s simple without being boring and quite frankly it makes me want to fist pump like nobodies watching – I don’t often fist pump.

As luck would have it old mates are coming to Berlin in two Friday’s time (May 31st) for a Noisey/ Nordic by Nature/ no fear of pop – as more luck would have it – we have 1×2 tickets to giveaway….. AND – as morrrrre luck would have it, we managed an interview. HUZZAH!

SO! What do you have to do to win these tickets? It’s really pretty easy. Submit your answer to the following question by Thursday 30 May 12P in the comments section below. Considering everyone loves an Australian export…..

What’s your all time fav. Australian thing that makes you think “crikey-dingo,
babes, beaches, beer” all with a clever accent… Und whyyyyyy?

Mine’s this Tourism Australia Ad targeted at the US from 1984 because it’s the year I was born, Paul Hogan, shrimp on the barbie, Australian stereotype – coooo-eee!

EVENT DETAILS
DATE: 31 MAY 2013
DOORS: 20:00 (that’s 8PM)
LOCATION: PRIVATKLUB
TICKETS: 12€ +TAXES etc. etc.

MORE INFO | PURCHASE TICKETS.

Catch the Kate Boy interview after the jump on all things nonsense driven. I make a public apology to any and all artists that agree to do interviews and any and all people that commit to reading my drivvle. I am no Katie Couric, nor am I your every day Ray Martin. These are not hard hitting  questions that will enrich your life, but they might provide you with clever bookmarked material to wow your friends on: Internet.

Everyone loves it! – 2.5 words: shit’s ACE.

Here are your go-to’s for the week ahead.

Bravestation manages a new EP. It’s good, it’s free.

by Lucy on May 15, 2013

in Music

BravestationSo Bravestation has graced us with an EP – huzzah. I managed to score a bit of a pre-listen to this one, and to be honest, it’s been on quite a bit of secret rotation since.

There is really something wonderful about this team, with their island vibes draped disco – we all know this will easily set my heart aflutter. The truely fabulous thing about IV (the latest EP) is it has some delicious slow jam feelings surrounding it. And for the summer months – get down emotions should be well all over your repertoire.

Ancient Kids (below) is my favourite track from the entire EP – not say they aren’t all good, but there is this wonderful tropical feeling to it, which makes me dream of sunshine and long days paired equally as long nights.

If you live in Toronto tonight (May 15) they have their Album Release Show at The Drake Hotel. Get around that – have a drink, cheers the boys – tell them Lucy sent you! – they actually will have no idea who that is, but what have you got to lose?

You are able to download IV in its entirety for free over on their bandcamp (I haven’t quite managed to work out how to do this yet – but if you do, holler at yo gurl.…FIGURED IT OUT!)

Get it in your MP3 player, immediately.

MØ gets me – every fucking time.

by Lucy on May 14, 2013

in Music

MØ and DiploRight now – we probably don’t even need words. MØ kills it. She has since the beginning of time – she still does now. What I mostly don’t get is that I’m pretty sure she is 24.. When I was 24, I was so far from sure about myself, I could barely manage life – let alone the outcome of killing it.

I have literally listened to Waste of Time about 10 times since Tuesday PM. 10 times, and to be honest – that was in the first 3 hours of finding it. Shit’s sickening. MØ is pretty much on the same level as Lizzy from MS MR. If we ever met – I’m certain we would be like best friends, we’d braid each others hair, we’d talk about Danish boys (because they are scientifically the best boys) and then we’d eat popcorn while sipping fizzy wine lemonade.

Pretty epic scene I paint there – roll on June 22 for the Berlin gig.

Today is proudly bought to you by the word Movement

by Lucy on May 14, 2013

MovementMovement are a new 3 piece band outta Sydney Australia. This is some wonderful form of disco right here, that I am grabbing with both my hands and shaking firmly.

Mostly I feel out of touch with Australia, and this saddens me a bit – because I feel like there are some pretty major acts coming our way from the land down under, with not much of a voice globally.

Movement have just signed to Modular kicking this all off with their track Feel Real. There are some pretty yummy steel drum vibes incorporated into this disco hit; it absolutely make me feel like summer, in a very quick instant.

Oh dear Lord, bring on summer.

Phoria does it again, and again… and again.

by Lucy on May 14, 2013

in Music

PhoriaThe most delicious kids from Phoria have put out a video for Red. And lemme tell you something, I’m still melting.

When we first posted this track it got over 700 likes – pretty sure the thumb function for Facebook was broken – but it kind of shows how much we all collectively love and worship this team.

I’m really not one to post videos, because I mostly have nothing enlightening to say about them.. Exhibit A. the nonsense I’m writing right this second. But having just watched and pretty much died a second time round to Red – I was entertained, I felt a semi-sexy vibe, and it left me sort of depressed.

Who knows if these are the correct emotions, but I’m a firm believer that as long as you feel something – the creative has done their job.

Bravo creatives – everywhere.

I’ll Banks you in a minute.

by Lucy on May 14, 2013

BanksBanks with the sultry sexy voice – bring it. I feel like maybe you’ve all caught this one over the last day – but right now, I’m catching up – so stick with me.

From the word GO I’ve been quite the fan of Banks, and to be honest she continues to deliver. Don’t you think people are lucky like that? Or maybe it’s talent? Or possibly it’s just plain production? I don’t really l know – all I really know is that I like it. And at the end of the day, that’s all that matters.

Warm Water is produced by Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, that is like the biggest mouthful to type – meh. Regardless of the mouthful of his stage name – I really can wrap my arms firmly around this whole thing. It’s soft and it’s delicious.

JUST HOW WE LIKE IT!
