Small Life in Saxon Switzerland from Christoph Schaarschmidt.

this tilt-shift / time lapse video is the most recent creation of christoph schaarschmidt, who really got into making this kind of neat and beautiful movies during the last year. visit his vimeo page and drop him some lines. you will also find a load of similar shots. each one a beauty of its own.
with his “small life around dresden” video christoph made it in the finals of the travelshooter short film award. so he gets to travel to spain in october, to shoot a new video, which most likely will be another tilt shift / time lapse piece, enriched by story elements. in my eyes, this is going to be a great challenge, and i can not wait to see him, turning this idea in a great piece of moving art.

another promo release i got this week is this piece right here: “sibot and spoek are playdoe”. two great characters combined to an outrageous duo, playdoe. when i heard the first song “it’s that beat”, i started smiling and for some reason i couldnt wipe that smile from my face throughout the whole release. it’s only after the last song was over, the grin was gone, and i had to restart the player.

playdoe delivers a freshness, i haven’t experienced lately. neonrave synthsounds meet booty hiphop. house meets breakbeat. frenchy electro snippets are on sightseeing tour in the ghettos. all together this merges into an energetic and addictive cocktail, i’d love to drink at every upcoming party until the day i die of overdosing.

the daily download of nme music magazine provides us with a free joker remix of simian mobile disco’s “cruel intentions”, featured by beth ditto, today. iam pretty sure, that i have mentioned already, how much i like the tunes, that joker has been throwing out this year. this tune right here doesn’t let me down. it’s a great piece of work, just as i expected. if you need to get your girlfriend a little more into dubstep, you might want to let her listen to that track

Whoop, Whoop, whoop – who is that? I’d like to introduce mr. ben sharpa to you, ladies and gentleman. whoever is familiar with last years Jarring Effects “capetown beats” compilation release, and the recent release of Playdoe’s first EP (which also be reviewed this week), won’t need any further introduction, but for those, who have missed that: let’s start rolling.

Important things first: When I first listened to the songs of this release, i was kindly remembering hearing dizzee rascal for the first time a couple years ago. the beats were pushing, abstract, bassy, hypnotic, mean, grimey and electronic. i really swam in them. but ben’s flow and vocals were so much more aggressive, and hard-hitting, while still remaining idiosyncratic and accessible. i also had to think of mr. oizo and all that electro cats, producing them really flat and abstract beats – and if you’d know me, then you would also know, that i love that shit.

Ben Sharpa is like the missing link between the us hip-hop ala Def Jux and the UK grime scene, with its hybrid hip hop beats, influenced by my beloved dubstep tunes, electro, detroit techno, electronica, dancehall and even idm / glitch types of music.

i have to thank marie, who told me, that kaly live dub are performing at the raw temple in berlin by tomorrow. the six lyon based guys are playing some really dope psychedelic, industrial kind of dub. their music isnt just built together in a sequencer – it is played live – with real guitars, a real drumset and so on. the pieces on myspace sound great. i gotta check them out and can just recommend, that you do so as well. it will be their only show in germany. so dont miss.

daniel sent me over two links last night. the links were leading me to two youtube videos, playing tunes by a mr. trolley snatcha. i looked them up on boomkat to figure out, that this release is pretty fresh. i have nothing to add to the following review, besides that i need a shower – this tune is too filthy for me:

Northampton’s bright hope for dubstep rave lands on Dub Police with one of the best names in the game, we introduce Mr Trolley Snatcha. Both tracks here give a buzz approximately equivalent to eating 12 wham bars and downing 2 litres of Panda Pop before robbing said trolley from Asda and getting caught by a community support officer. ‘The Future’ delivers a blinding rush of energy, like wading through slow-drying cement with a strobe in your face, while ‘Scattah’ on the flip repeats the trick again with a different sample. Larger than yer mam’s multipack of McCoy’s.

For The Win Records is proud to present its fourth free EP promoting new talent from across the midlands and now the rest of the UK, with new additions Mr. Sleepz from Brighton and Sickman D from Bristol joining the label. Please feel free to play the tunes and pass them on as much as you like.

folks, it’s crazy party friday tonight. a couple days ago i wrote about the bassquake – where i wanna go really, really bad. but there is also this wobble party at the tacheles. a versatile night awaits you there. music from trip-hop tunes, over balkan beats, to dubstep are gonna be dropped. the soundsystem seems scary. dave, the impersonated wobble master keeps warning the crowd, and really tries to talk everybody into bringing their earplugs. sounds nice to me…

oh man, kanye interrupted my blogging as well. that sucks. there are a lot of pretty cool pictures out there in the web – kanye is becoming the new web-meme. i know, hating kanye is not as cool as it used to be, b/c it’s kinda getting mainstream right now, but anyways check out nerdcore for the ultimate kanye shirt. besides that i found some nice links on there: the ultimate kanye internet collection, super kanye brothers, kanye interrupts obama.

oh. that tune is big. mistajam dropped that sick piece at bbc radio1 last monday. mike skinner features professor green. the whole thing is called crying game and brand new. check this one out and bounce!

october 2009 seems to be a good month for dubstep music and parties. one day after the sub:stance party, the third issue of the way of the dub is gonna roll out big, presenting slaughter mob to you. i myself have never been at the ausland venue before. so i cant really tell you much about it, but i am pretty sure, that ill be there checkin it out – if I am not mistaken they will have a 15kW – 20kW soundsystem there that night – that would be sick.

i just found that piece of music while surfing the internet. and even though that i am at work and not able to really listen to it, i think it should be shared with you. i could listen to two songs so far. the sound is very ambient and glitchy. there should be dubstep elements also, but i didnt get to them yet. check this release out and also check back to the parataste website. this neat little netlabel has some cool ambient pieces up on their servers.

another dubstep party you should not miss! the sub:stance party, put up by london/bln placed producer scuba is fucking sick. not only the line up is on fire, but also the club in which this party is held. the berghain has one of the most astonishing soundsystems i have ever seen. infrabass boxes and amplifier who let 30hz peak at 130db. sounds sick? yeah well: it is! you gonna feel the music and you gonna feel the vibes.

last night i got the information, that statix is confirmed for the frequenzeinlauf in december. it is still a long time until then, but so you can check them out already. i first heard of them, when i was listening to mary anne hobbs radio1 show. their huge, powerful set made me go crazy while having the third beer of the night, right before leaving the house for party – but i could not leave and had to stay, the bass glued me on to the seats. i wanted to know, who this guy  is (i thought it is only one producer) or where i can get them bloody tunes. i hit statix up via myspace and was able to get them interested into playing in germany. 5 people, yeah thats right: f-i-v-e, rockin one club, that is how it’s gonna be. i am really glad, to have them guys coming over to our small festival, because pretty sure, they are about to achieve a big name for themselves within the next months…
