Blitz

„A classic I simply never ever get tired off!“
– Delta Funktionen

„To be honest I slept on this until I heard the first track of the album played by upsammy (who by the way is an amazing DJ you should definitely check out) at Robert Johnson a few months back. It completely blew me away so I had to ask what it is.

Since ten years David Goldberg has been composing and writing music within the electronic spectrum. As part of the bustling SVS collective and also doing his studies of conceptual art and sculpting at the academy of fine arts, he’s always been moving beyond borders and disciplines.

Once again, we hung out at BLITZ club during the week and listened to our favourite music together. And yeah, this session was definitely one to be shared!

Have fun listening to our second podcast with music selected by Julietta, Lara, Muallem, Roland Appel, Skee Mask and Stenny.

In March 2017, Daniel Brandt, co-founder of  Germany’s electro-acoustic ensemble Brandt Brauer Frick, released his solo debut album “Eternal Something” on Erased Tapes.
What has started as a simple idea in the Taunus region, in his father’s forest hut – equipped with some drum cymbals – finally became much more complex than imagined; it eventually turned into a trip to Joshua Tree National Park in California and a car full of guitars, resulting in Daniel’s first solo album.

Laurie Spiegel is a composer from my home city Chicago. For years, her pioneering work on the GROOVE synthesizer went largely unheard. In 2012, these works were included on a 2-cd edition of The Expanding Universe (1973-8). It contains over 2½ hours of music created at Bell Telephone Labs during the 1970s.

It wasn’t until he turned 21 that Berlin’s piano newcomer Johannes Mergarten found his destiny in playing piano. After an intense period of jazz studies in Munich, a desire to immerse himself in Berlin’s rich music scene initiated a move to Neukölln.

„Always coming back to listening to this album by Sade. It calms me down and it always sets a good vibe no matter what’s happening. All the beauty of music in this one.”

„Simply one of my favorite techno albums. The incredible sensibility and equilibrium between harmony and pulsating drum patterns, makes Strike a record capable to guide you through a really immersive journey. A true masterpiece!“
– Stenny

Within the next few days, Munich’s festival summer season finally starts into its hot phase with the much sought-after (and completely sold out) Back To The Woods Open Air at Garching Forschungszentrum.
After a striking cast of international acts and local heroes perform during daytime “Am Waldrand” and “Im Unterholz”, the party continues at Blitz until the early morning.

Not as hyped as the seminal stuff by Photek or Source Direct from the same period of the 90s but no less important. Graham Sutton’s Boymerang project was fairly short lived but is still hugely influential.

Only one month after the release of their first ep on Malka Tuti on May 2018, Vactrol Park continue surprising, this time with a full LP in the shape of ‘Music from the Luminous Void’. The album sees Vactrol Park delve much deeper into more atmospheric realms.
