Metal riffs on a Sitar

Ich kann mit Metal nicht sonderlich viel anfangen. Konnte ich nie. Aber ich mag seit jeher den Sound einer Sitar und dachte eben, dass beides in Kombination ganz geil sein könnte. Und ja, das funktioniert, wie Bernth hier zeigt, der neulich mal das 18-saitige Instrument in die Hände bekam und es darauf einfach mal mit bekannten Metal-Riffs versuchte.

Pioneer CDJ 2000 aus Lego

Der Designer Megragadó Gladiátor Ezredes hat Pioneers legendären CDJ 2000 aus Lego gebaut und nun bei Lego Ideas zur Abstimmung geparkt. Das Ding hätte ich schon ganz gerne in echt, es soll spielbar sein.

This new-age classic piece plays a significant role in the life of clubs and parties. DJs are playing the best music on this, mixing the songs together with great precision.

This set contains 2628 pieces. The design is following the original as much as possible. It has several playable features:
USB stick can be placed in and out of the socket
Tempo fader can be adjusted
CD can be placed inside and also can be ejected using the eject button
It comes with 2 individual LED panels that can be replaced
On one panel the waveform can be adjusted with the jogwheel, just like on a real turntable
On the other panel music tracks can be scrolled using the knob

It was a huge fun working on this project. I hope you guys like it, and if so, hope you hit a support.

Bassdrum-Kitty

Bassmassage für Edgar.

Before I go any further, I guess I should probably introduce our cat Edgar. Edgar is absolutely deaf and loves hanging out on the kick drum while I play so he can feel those big boomy vibrations. He loves it so much that almost every time I practice or record he likes being in this spot. Being around drums long enough will actually put him to sleep! Anyways here’s a 5 over 6 groove.

This is a very spontaneous Fusion Set – Judith van Waterkant @ Palapa Bar 2023

Weil dieser Mix ist eine echte Slowrave-Granate mit richtig schön derben Acid Einschlag ist. Und weil die Geschichte wie es zu diesem Mix kam einfach viel zu schön ist, um nicht weiter in die Welt getragen zu werden. Ich folge Judith auf einigen Kanälen und hatte am Wochenende quasi live mitbekommen, was da los war. Irre schön, ich hab mich voll für sie gefreut – und sie sich offenbar auch, wie diesem Set anzuhören ist.

So let me tell you a story about this very spontaneous Fusion Set:
This year I was working at Sonnendeck and had some really funny, interesting and also stressful stageshifts with my beloved team from 3000Grad and Telekollegen. I loved it! Also because its important to me to take part in this very special festival-construct that Fusion is for me. I was a little sad, that I did not get booked (Everything else would have been a lie), because I wanted to play my new tracks so bad, especially „PoP“
Then it was Sunday morning and I got a textmessage by my friend Obi:

„Acid Pauli is playing your track right now“
Whaaaaaat?!?

Remember how I said I want this track „PoP“ to be played at fusion so bad? @acidpauli played it Sunday morning at one of the most huge stages: Palapa 😳 For real?!
Seriously this means the world to me! Especially this track #pissonpatriarchy
it’s a hurtful fight to gain back self efficiency poured in a track ➡️ @mora_leipzig
And the pain is turned into a huge crowd dancing!

I came to Fusion as a teenager, because grew up in the area. I have been raving there every year since, when it took place and sometimes I even had the honour to play there myself in the last years. If someone would have told me, that my music will be played there one day by acts that I adore since decades on the hugest soundsystem, I would not have believed that. I am still crying over this.

Thank you Obi for this message! It was one of the few that came through.
I planned to attend Acid Paulis gig, but I got caught in a good conversation with friends at the other side of the Acker. I was on my way to palapa and near dubstation when I got the message. And then I ran! While I ran, I did the math, if I can make it to palapa and still hear the rest of the track. What do you think? Did I make it?

Funfact: when @jpattersson started after Acid Pauli I got asked by @alma_linda and the Palapa Bar, if I wanted to play spontaneously there right after. Again: whaaaaaat?! I said yes, with a few Sonnendeck-stageshifts in my bones and greasy hair, not having showered since days, I ran to my tent to get my headphones and Dj-stuff (well I had it with me, you never know 😅), put on some dryshampoo, painted myself a face haha and played. And here we are: have fun with the recording of this very f*cking spontaneous Fusion Set :D
I played „PoP“ myself (yeahyeahyeah!) and I also played the Remix of „Weiter“ by @andys-echo and a track by my friends @propellar_music, because they were dancing right in front of me these sweetiebois. Later the four of us closed the firespace with „Herz an Herz“ by Blümchen…. but that’s another story to tell….

Mein neuer 1210er

Ich bloggte hier neulich über diese kleinen 1210er, die in Tokio aus irgendwelchen Automaten kommen und war von denen ein wenig begeistert. Gestern bekam ich völlig nichtsahnend Post aus Japan, die mir einen der kleinen 1210er bescherte. Ich war da echt gerührt. In Zeiten, in denen Twitter in die Richtung driftet, in der Facebook schon lange angekommen ist: dem täglich ungewollten Doomscrolling nämlich, und in denen selbst Reddit vor die Hunde zu gehen scheint, macht mein kleines Blog ganz offenbar nicht immer noch nur mir Freude. Und so oft ich auch darüber nachgedacht habe, den ganzen Bumsladen hier dicht zu machen, bleibt er. Wahrscheinlich auch nicht für immer, aber so lange er ein paar Leute erreicht, ihnen Freude macht und sie halbwegs aufmerksam mitlesen, habe ich Spaß dran.

Vielen lieben Dank nach Tokio für meinen neuen 1210er und die dazu gehörige Schallplatte. Ich hab mich wirklich wahnsinnig darüber gefreut! Die Frau des Hauses war Zeugin.
