For a lot of people the 80ies had been the most creative period in popmusic. A lot of things were possible and borders had been teared down. The belgian label ” Les Disques du Crepuscule ” was at the forefront of the interface between music and art. Benoit Hennebert the famous illustrator was responsible the visual appearance and Michel Duval and Annick Honore for the artistic programation. Lately we travelled to Duesseldorf to see the big Sonic Youth exhibition. On the next day we went to cologne to visit a couple of galleries and only by accident we passed by the “Koelnischer Kunstverein”. From outside we could see the logo from the label so we went in and actually we dicovered one of the best music related exhibitions we have ever seen.

In May we were invited to play at the Dissonanze Festival in Rome with “A Critical Mass”. The festival took place in Palazzo dei Congressi, an elegant example of rationalist architecture admired throughout the world, which combines modern lines with a general classical taste. It was an very interesting event because they like to put focus on the visual art installations too. the programation includes experimental stuff like Coil, Byetone or Daedelus, but also more straight stuff like Francois Kervokian, Laurent Garnier and Kenny Larkin. The festival lasted over two days and we played on the saturday in the impressive salone after Laurent Garnier’s live set. We enjoyed the party a lot and the next day we had a great brunch in town close to the Colosseum and after that we did an impressive promenade. We would like to say thank you to Massimo, Lorenzo, Dissonanze, Cristiana and everybody else who made that possible for us to join this great festival.

New York, Rio, Tokyo?
Don’t forget about Dallas, Texas, kids!
What seems to be the most unlikely city on earth for club culture, was the place of a real gem. Thanks to designer Philippe Starck and his extravagant taste (what a chair!), legal MDMA called X, a DJ with an oversized moustache and some kids with a distinguished passion for all things European, the “Starck Club” has been one of the best kept secrets of the on-going excavation of DJs, clubs and dance phenomenons. Until now. Nothing stays the same as they say and so the legends and shocking stories of glam, hedonism or proper dance floor workouts are about to be shared with the rest of the world. Keep your eyes open for the finished and soon to be opened documentary.

Whilest the photoshooting for our new scarfs of Tokyo Black Star on a nice farm at the Lake Constance in South Germany Kristian and Dix discovered a complete new way of earning money: gardening! I expect that if there were vacuum cleaners on which you can sit and drive their flats might be absolutely pristine! Have a look …

Episode VIII
„So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.“
F. S. Fitzgerald
Over here in Germany the clever government, fighting the economic crisis like every other nation on this planet, came up with an elaborate concept to save the industry that manufactures what every human cannot have enough of: cars !
It’s called Abwrackpraemie, the closest translation would be wrecking bonus. The concept goes as follows:

Good Evening People,
There are a couple of things we House-heads can still learn from Rock N Roll. One is definitely stage diving:
Please welcome two new contributions by our homies from a little band called The Whitest Boy Alive.
Although they are already redefining the limits of proper label management, for which I give them a huge amount of credit, they are also reshaping the art of stage diving. More … »

Freaks and their selfmade instruments … a never ending story. But often very interesting! Like in this case. At the “New Instruments Battle” a guy named Skot Wiedmann (no, he is not related to me!) won with his really obscure synthesizer: a modular synth connected through some sort of neural network. The controllers for this seems to be like two touch sensitive pads plus two endless wheels.
