The Hipodrome Of Music


Budapest & Berlin Holiday by hipodrome

Tomorrow I’ll start a 10 days holiday and during this time I will have limited or no access to internet, so there will be little activity on the blog during this time.

First I’m going at the Industrial Booom – ReBoot Festival in Budapest, Hungary. The 3-day-long Industrial Booom festival, which is going to be held for the second time, has a really rich and variable line-up.

I’m looking forward to seeing live great bands like Front 242, The Neon Judgement, Absolute Body Control, Clan Of Xymox or Spetsnaz .

For more info check the facebook event.

Next up is the IFM Party in PanoramaBar, Berlin, on the 5th of May. I will attend this luxuriant event for the second time and I’m very happy to be there. For this event, I-F invited Intergalactic Gary, who had a great 4-hours set last year. We also had the pleasure to have him as a guest for our two years anniversary event last October in Sibiu. The line-up is completed by Orgue Electronique, with a live performance, and Sven von Thülen.

In the same night at Berghain Steve Rachmad, Vince Watson and Norman Nodge will play.

For more info check this link.

On the 4th of May, I will attend the Gegen Titans party at KitKatClub with Alessandro Adriani and Mushy from Mannequin label in one room and Max_M from M_Rec and Dadub from Stroboscopic Artefacts in the other room.

Weekend in Paris by hipodrome

France is the country providing one of the highest number of users to my blog, second only to Germany. Taking this into consideration, I’ve made this post. I’m traveling this weekend to Paris, for some “sightseeing” and of course for some parties. If you are following The Hipodrome Of Music and you what to meet for a beer, chat or for some partying, let me know. Send me an email at hipodrome.blog@gmail.com or just leave a comment here on this page.

Berlin trippin’ by hipodrome

http://impymalting.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/berlin-wall4.jpg?w=400&h=225&h=299

It’s a new year, so it’s again the time for a trip to Berlin. Since I first find out about the Intergalactic FM party @ Panorama Bar, I checked and booked the cheapest flights I could get my hands on, to Berlin. So starting from tomorrow, March 3rd, I will be in the techno capital of Europe for the next 5 days. But, not so much techno this time. As I already said, the main goal is the IFM Party with Legowelt, Intergalactic Gary, David Vunk and of course I-F. Italo disco, early Chicago house, obscure Dutch retro-no-retro, tuff electro, timeless beauty to film soundtracks and tears driving Pop sirene – the Dutch play anything but ordinary. A Night in White Satin.

We are also doing a small party tomorrow night at Keller Disco, from Champagneria, with Mick Wills, so if you are around don’t be shy and come by :)

… some other events that we might check are in comments

† “Painters paint their pictures on canvas, musicians paint their pictures on silence.” Melvin Oliphant III aka Traxx

www.jak-nation.com

† Jak your body till you bleed!!!

† Traxx is a lover of music — one with a passion so intense that it overcomes genre divides to weave an altogether original, exciting, and multi-textured musical fabric which envelops both the avid clubber and the home listener, as well as everyone in between. Not content to be labeled as merely a DJ, a producer, or even a DJ/Producer, Traxx is a self-described “artist of sound.” A sound that is distinctive and highly emotional which defies classification and invites analysis and discussion. From eclectic and avant-garde tunes to old school jack tracks and far beyond, Traxx hears and makes it all without discrimination, pretension or elitism.

† Traxx has released music on numerous underground labels in the US and Europe including Gigolo, Relief, Muzique, M/O/S, and Crème. His music has come to the world under a bucket load of aliasʼ including Dirty Criminals, XX Art, Mysterio, ViLLan X, Saturn V (with Tadd Mullinix), X2, and more. Heʼs also collaborated with the cream of the underground including acts like James T. Cotton (aka Tadd Mullinix), DJ Hell, Green Velvet, Dʼmarc Cantu, Mount Sims, Legowelt and many more to shape his unique definition of Jakbeat. Now finally Traxx is stepping out into the light with his first full length album under this own name for his own Chicago based imprint Nation.

† Now we have the debut Traxx album “Faith” – a record that clearly reflects Melvinʼs spiritual roots and church background as well as pushing forward his visions of Chicago circa 2009 incorporating dark core, jak trax and far beyond this is a uniquely American vision of electronic music for your mind, body and soul. The album features 11 previously unreleased compositions including collaborations with Tadd Mullinix and an acid house anthem created with Cloneʼs electro queen Nancy Fortune. For Traxx the albums title is a reflection of what we need right now globally as humans – the “Faith” to continue to struggle, to deal with the big issues of life, parenthood, finance, friendships and relationships. For him the idea behind the album was to create a story which “unfolds through emotional emancipation.” We never needed more ʻFaithʼ than we do now. Come together.

Yesterday, we started a one week trip to  Berlin. We are checking the pulse of the city, searching for parties, trying to ‘visit’ all the cool clubs and places this town has to offer. So, this week not a lot of activity will be detected here.

Updates soon.
