This weekend Barcelona becomes the centre of attention as Sonar festival rolls into town. The festival itself is a jam packed 3 days and 2 nights of music and art featuring the likes of Plastikman, The Chemical Brothers and Roxy Music. However its not just the festival that garners all the attention, as for the same weekend Barcelona turns into a thriving party city with what are now known as the Off Sonar parties.

There’s even a few parties happening in them there nightclubs. There’s a lot to pick from so here’s what we think is looking pretty hot for the weekend. › Continue reading
dOP – Watergate 06 | Album Review
Monday, June 7th, 2010 | Album Review | 2 Comments
It’s a natural progression for successful clubs to sell mix CDs based around their brand. Ministry started it, fabric made it cutting edge and now them there Berlin folk are having a stab too. Both Berghain and Panorama have their own CD series, whilst this month Watergate releases their sixth mix. Lying at the heart of mix number six are three Parisians in the form of dOP. Far from being DJs they’ve tried to capture the river side LED sparkle of the infamous Berlin club with their own unique live element which has been exciting the plaudits over the last year. Rather than mix other people’s music they’ve compiled a psuedo jam session come live set of their own creations and collaborations with their friends like Noze, Seuil and Catz and Dogz. It’s supposed to give an insight into how they make music, when they’re on their own or hanging out with friends as well as giving the CD some uniqueness and spontaneity that you get from jam sessions. › Continue reading

It’s the end of the month… That can mean only one thing – pay day! And don’t the clubs know it. The arse end of the month is so stuffed with nights that it’s actually touching cloth wanting to overspill into December. Consider this the official start to the run down to Christmas and New Years Eve/Day. › Continue reading
Tiefschwarz – Simple, Maybe Parts 1 & 2 | Single Review
Tuesday, April 7th, 2009 | Single Review | No Comments
Tiefschwarz return to their label Souvenir to release their first EP for quite some time. And like buses, you wait for one release and then two come along at once. February’s part 1 release consisted of two very different cuts. On the a-side was On and On a shuffling wonky number which uses a slightly annoying vocal sample which persists throughout the track. The track doesn’t really hold up, it just keeps on shuffling along whilst any movement on the track comes from the vocal sample which cycles through different variations of “on and on”. It would be quite monotonous if it weren’t for the occasional stabs of off colour organs.
The better part to this release is Best Inn. Here Tiefschwarz combine their roots of deep house with their more up to date wonky sound. A classic house loop from the boys adds an element of jack, whilst a sci fi b movie organ whirrs away to give it that wonky feel. And to make it that bit more hypnotic they chuck in a vocal loop which I feel is a bit to prominent but thankfully doesn’t drag the track down too much.
For part two, Tiefschwarz return a month later with Yeah and Deininger. Yeah is a pretty simple track, its one loop of tumbling beats which twists and turns as whistles and vocal stabs come and go. Whilst the track doesn’t really go anywhere, its steady droning bassline keeps the groove locked in for some good heads down in a darkened room action.
On the flip, Deininger is more of the same drawn out loops with little quirks. Based around haunting horn lines, a popping percussion track and a bit of a funk bassline, Deininger shuffles along like the other tracks on this release. It eventually builds to a quivering vocal break, before rejigging itself with a slight change to the funk line. Its ok, but nothing to get too excited about.
