What’s up guys! I’m back and feeling great.
During the past four days I was one lonely house DJ in the techno capital of Europe. Berlin’s famous outdoor clubs were opening for the spring which resulted in a spree of heavy bookings such as Fischerspooner, Carl Craig, Ellen Allien, Ricardo Villalobos and Ben Klock. I didn’t manage to catch them all in action but I managed to stick to my main cause, namely discovering The Mecka of Hedonism which I eventually found at a place called Bar 25 friday 3 a.m.
So what kind of musicwise information can a house head bring home from the city of techno and minimalism? Acctually a few pearls caught my ear during this four day journey into the abyss.
Here are two:
Pet Shop Boys – Love Etc (Gui Boratto Remix)
Zshare/YouSendit
Mr Minimal techno goes deep on Pet Shop Boys’s white asses. No pun intended. Mix well and serve 5 o’clock in the morning on a wornout techno dancefloor. This baby is not available on Beatport, but can be found on 12″. Released about two month ago. Was featured on Fluo Kids without getting the attention it deserves.
Shannon – Let the Music Play (Theeo and Swedish Egil Remix)
Zshare/YouSendit
The 2009 remixes were released on Perfecto Digital about a month ago. Despite being a dozen, none of them satisfies my taste well enough to get a five star mark in my I-tunes library. I still prefer the 1983 original. The Theo and Swedish Egil Remix is one of the bette and works perfectly as remedy for Berlinian techno-hammered dancefloors. You like?
Let the music play (2009 remixes @ Beatport)
More cool tunes from Berlin to come soon.
Who’s up for making a five-star progressive remix on Let The Music Play?
Peace!
Gui Boratto mixen ger mig gåshud!
Hi!
The “Love etc” Remix of Gui ist definitley one of his best!
I played it 2 months ago on a clubnight @ about 03:00h and the people went mad…a very emotional and magical moment.
Good to see, that people still can get crazy on the dancefloor without any Ed banger-stress-nu-rave-shit!
Best greetings from Cologne (the second capitol of techno music in Germany)

Thanks Karsten!
Cool that the track works for you. Gotta any more tracks to recomend for us and for the blogs?
It’s always nice to get inspiration from other DJs.
Peace!
did you already check the Boratto Mix of Bomb the Bass?
Really Nice…
If you like, i could send you a couple of Tracks, i like very much but in my eyes they are too unknown…they deserve more attention!
Hey Karsten!
Black river remix is magic. Maybe a bit too downtempo for being my cup of tea.
Sure thing, inspiration from other musicians is always welcome. Drop us a couple of zippyshare links either here in comments or to info@hmwl.org.
We’ll post the ones we digg.
this game is fucking awesome!
