Gang sign trainees and bathroom mirrow posers. It’s Tim Turbo Thursday.

And it’s time for a guest mix again: We got Berlin’s Good Looking Boy on the decks for the second time and he mixed up some ravy electro stompers, some of his own tunes and remixes, two entrys to the remix contest he called out and seasoned it with a pinch of german street rap for you.

My Berlin and surroundings peeps should also not miss Good Looking Boy talking and playing on Radio Fritz’ Unsigned show on Friday 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM CET.

Next week I will assemble the TTT again, the week after it’s gonna be on Danny Scrilla and Germany’s Funky House opinion leader DJ One Drop, then me again, and then the legendary DJ Beware will delight us. Just to give you a prospect for the next weeks. Tune in and shall your lazers be charged everytime!

Why do Jamaicans run so fast?

July 1st, 2009


Filming months before the Olympics and continuing the journey from Beijing and back, the 61-minute documentary is the only non-American film nominated at this year’s American Black Film Festival.

It is one of three films nominated in the documentary category at the festival, which is slated from June 24-27 in Miami Beach, Florida.

Director Garcia-Guereta strives to find the answer to Jamaican athletes’ speed in the film and in the process, beautifully captures the spirit and zeal of Jamaicans.

Africa X Caribbean X Berlin Fashion Week

June 28th, 2009

africafashionweek2009

A post on Attorney Street pointed me to the BBC´s coverage of the Africa Fashion Week 2009 and at the same time reminded me that I haven´t posted anything about Caribbean Fashion Week 2009 so far.

Well, here we go: photographers Giovanni Powell and Gladstone Taylor have quite a few shots of CFW09 in their portfolios. It´s kind of sad though that they haven´t added any information about the collections shown on their pictures. I´d be especially interested in the designer of the very simple and clean business women collection you see e.g. here. Anybody out there who knows?

Btw: More fashion stuff will follow this week, as I´ll be heading to Berlin Fashion Week which will e.g. see the homecoming of the Bread & Butter trade show. Stay tuned. Pssst: We might even give you a sneak preview of the new seen. collection.

Out Now: Daniel Haaksman – Gostoso EP

June 27th, 2009

haaksman_gostoso

Yesterday, our Berlin-based Bundes-Brazilerian friend Daniel Haaksman dropped his new EP called “Gostoso” on vinyl. It follows the highly acclaimed “Who´s Afraid of Rio” EP. As Daniel is one of those no-bullshit guys and the tunes are already played by e.g. the Crookers, Sinden, Fake Blood, Radioclit, Riva Starr, DJ Yoda, Mixhell and Tim Turbo, I will just repost the original product information to give you an idea of how Gostoso sounds like:

The EP kicks off with Haaksman bringing baile funk to the playground, introducing the 2nd generation of baile funk MCs. “Kid Conga“ features MC Miltinho on the mike, the son of baile funk legend MC Batata, singing a nursery rhyme over a heavy, tropical beat, accompanied by an arpeggio that is resembling North Eastern Brasilian forro melodies. „Senta Senta Mais Uma Vez” („Senta Senta once more“) is Haaksman’s revisit to the anthemic „Senta Senta“ track from his „Who’s Afraid Of Rio?“ EP which received massive DJ rotation all over the globe. In its revisited mix, the techno side of baile funk finds its shape.

The B-Side of the EP opens with „Pobum Coco“, Haaksman’s bowing down to Rio’s love affair with Miami Bass. With a heavy 808 beat, „Pobum Coco“ tops off with a Tropicalia guitar line to get those big booties going. The polka-bass tune is followed by Rio’s MC queen Tati Quebra Barraco, shouting out on “Jesus” over a twisted funk synth and 808 snare rolls.

The digital release is to follow on July 5th. We hand out “Pobum Coco” upfront. Thanks, Daniel, and greetings to Rio!
