New Razoof album out – “High Tide, Low Tide”
This is the fourth solo album by producer and drummer Razoof from Germany/Cologne. It showcases a very nice blend of analog dub/reggae feel and very chilled vibes. Most of the songs on “High Tide, Low Tide” came about during Razoofs residency at the chill out hot spot Blue Bar on the balearic island Formentera. Long [...]
Sorry Lou
Its really early and the first busses are passing my house – some birds are singing and the morning is creeping in on me. I was listening for the first time in years to the banana record – the Velvet Underground LP from 1967. Got is as a present the other day.
Remember Enigma
I do for sure. I never heard that combination before. I was travelling in India at the time.

Air – Modular Mix – Premiers Symptomes
I am not sure exactely what it is that I like so much about Air. I absolutely loved their first stuff – new and fresh sounds from a country that we are not normally overwhelmed by musically – not me anyway. But this was great somehow.
“No one built this moment”

Laibach playing bachs “Kunst die Fuge”
One of the biggest churches in Copenhagen recently filled up with people all anxious to see and hear the slovenian avantgarde industrial music collective Laibach. We waited for one whole hour before they appeared behind synthesizers, computers, electronic drums, turntables and mixers.
