I love it!

2011 and we are waiting for a mixtape to drop – to be exact, counting down minutes and refreshing browsers. (Well one browser but who is counting?) Can’t tell you how excited we are to hear Skratch Bastid’s new work, fittingly titled “The Entertainer”. The party we had with Skratch Bastid back last year was probably the most memorable one in our three year tenor, as the Bastid is not only one of the coolest dudes on the planet but without a doubt one of the sickest DJs there is. This is why we confidently urge you to download this guy’s mixtape and spread it around like it was 1995. We on our end promise to have him back in Cologne as fast as possible!

Skratch Bastid – The Entertainer

Well what I can say – If I could do music, I would it want it to sound like this! For his new EP, Eli Escobar teamed up with singer Nomi Ruiz, formals Hercules and Love Affair – The outcome of this collaboration is just  a great piece of sexy dance music. Enjoy!

The JBs Ya!On Wedneday the 8th of June one of the finest Hiphop groups of all time is making their way to Cologne’s CBE. The Jungle Brothers have always been some sort of secret favorites of mine when it comes to early nineties rap, and after hearing that Arrested Development packed the Gloria last week and had the good folks of Cologne raving, I can only assume the Jungle Brothers to follow up more than nicely. So if you are having a soft spot for the golden era of Hiphop in your heart this show will definitely be right up your alley. What makes it additionally enticing is that they will perform in their original formation, the way they started the group in 1988, with Mike Gee, Africa Baby Bam on the mics and DJ Sammy B on the turntables.

We are giving away 2×2 spots on the guest list for that night. All you have to do is post your favorite Jungle Brother song in the comments and make sure we have a way to notify you in case you win – Good Luck!

If you like Sneakers as much as we do become a fan and stay in the loop!

Pop meets Disco – I am all for that!

If you are in Cologne and want to go out, “Subway” is the place to be tonight! The newly landed party [elek'tro:nik mju:zik] – welcome by the way – is once again showing nice touch with the booking of Glasgow’s own Jackmaster. This guy is definitely on the forefront of new electronic music and should leave nobody leaning against the walls tonight. On that note – Jack Your Body!
