Quote: Jimmy van M

By MusicNo Comments

Jimmy van M interview.

“My definition of progressive is music that you don’t know why but it always makes you feel good in a certain way. I think that’s happening in a lot of music right now. To me, that’s all progressive music. It doesn’t have to be arpeggiated synths with a droned out bassline.”

“I think a good DJ is someone who can play the same records that everyone else has in a way that no one else will. At the end of the day it’s about creating that moment with a certain record that characterises you. Only certain people can do it.”

Rose Garden jatkaa toimintaansa uusien vetäjien voimin, ja uudella ohjelmistolla.

Berliner trance

By UncategorizedNo Comments

While waiting for the Hytky techno documentary festival, have 25 well spent minutes and watch an old, classic Berliner Trance documentary. See the description:

“This lost classic, shot on 16mm in a wintry Berlin in 1993, explores the origins of the now monumentally massive German Trance and Dance music scene.

With interviews with luminaries such as Dr Motte, Paul van Dyk, Laurent Garnier, Paul Browse, Mijk van Dijk and MFS label supremo Mr Mark Reeder this now legendary exploration into the underworld of what was the most significant force in driving dance music forward in the 20th century. It contains rare early footage of the 1991 and 1993 Love Parade, and of the now bulldozed Mutoid Waste Company land, E-Werk and Tresor – Berlin’s legendary (and now closed) clubs that started it all in the former East Berlin.

Directed by Ben Hardyment, this documentary is imbued with an uplifting and extremely positive energy – there are rumours of a film sequel in the pipeline, but for now, sit back and enjoy 25 minutes of pure trance music history.”

Free LSG album

By MusicNo Comments

Oliver Lieb shares free an unreleased LSG album. If you loved the old LSG stuff, I bet you won’t regret downloading this one. It’s a chilly and relaxing album.

As Oliver puts it, “This is more a tribute and a big thank you to the fans of the LSG project and – at least for me now – a way to close the door to this project and focus even more on what i am doing now.”
