Charles Mingus – Mingus Ah Um (Before The Party Starts: 20/04/18)
“Outside of being one of Mingus most known works, this original pressing from my collection is one of the best recorded pieces of music I have ever heard. The sound dynamic heard in this record really emphizes how the recording process in the late 50s was so much more exception then today and the loudness war that consume most of the recording process today in comparison to loudness wars that consumes the modern recording process and ideology.

Frankie Goes To Hollywood – Welcome To The Pleasuredome (Before the party starts: 14/04/18)
We’ve been listening to ‘Welcome To The Pleasuredome’ at home all the time. My mother originally got it from her cousin in West Germany. When I left home she gave it to me alongside other records. When I play “Welcome To The Pleasuredome” or “The Power Of Love” today I instantly reconnect to these memories, feel like the 6-years old Marcel again.
Vakula – Metaphors (Before the party starts: 13/04/18)
I found Vakula’s new LP „Metaphors” two weeks ago at Hard Wax in Berlin. I really enjoy listening to ambient at the moment which was the reason why I bought this record after only skipping through it very quickly. Back at home, pretty hungover and being honest pretty down, too, I was making breakfast in the kitchen when the song “Tale Of The Eternal Thought“ caught my attention and dragged me into the living room.

A techno lover from the very early days, Ellen comfortably blends and weaves a blend of her own hypnotic Berlin techno, slamming acid and classic patterns.
