so, all in all it was the summer of the world cup, the "spanish ticki tacki" and the "german football from the heart". a little bit of sun and loooots of rain. after the indian summer I now know what the english summer feels like. well, some sun at least in july and on my trips to ibiza and sardegna. shouts to johannes at coocon and to amico renato figoli. really enjoyed it again!
back to the track: the last weeks saw my and brett johnsons return to the studio. we've finished some of the stuff we started last time brett was here and started a new monster tune together with matthias - so this will make a "motorcitysoul vs. brett johnson" release pretty soon. our "c-rock & brett johnson" tune "bassmatic" will be released soon on stir15 including remixes by kruse & nürnberg and marc poppcke. really really looking forward to this one - a strong deephouser!
coming up next is my gig at the lakeside intermezzo openair in giessen today! the sun is shining, no rain in sight so all systems go for a really nice party with a beautifuel lakeview and a very nice line up. shouts to wojtek aka albert aka ak greed aka the polish brad pit ;)

what a nice summer, after the almost winter-like may & june july was very hoooot. enjoyed ibiza and sardegna big time - it was very nice to meet mi amico renato figoli again and listening to his dj-live-set. cocoon ibiza was great again and together with zip & ricardo the music was one of the best i heard at amnesia for years. "set if off", "pack jam" and "the day we lost soul" played at peaktime, what else can i say... well, whatever... this all means nothing...
to be honest, this all means nothing looking back at what happened in dusiburg. I wanted to write more about my summer gigs, my ryanair hustle and the 17hrs trip to cagliari but i simply cannot. I will update the dates section for now and return when I have the right words for the wrong things happend at the wrong location...

ooohhh my god what a "summer" this year. If 89 was the hottest summer in the uk and the legendary summer of love... well, then i don't know what summer this is this year. nice one for planting flowers and gardening (all you homegrown heinies, this will be a nice year!). at least there's the worldcup in southafrica... erm, well, end of story.
may 04th, 2010
the first sunny-summer-like-days this year made me really looking forward to my open air kick-off may 23rd with the effect-crew heinies. I will avoid any raindance moves by accident for the next couple of weeks to make sure chris wood, meat and myself will have a great time there celebrating the sun!
coming up in may, too is my long overdue return to düsseldorf and the motorcitysoul debut at lovely romy s in stuttgart. motorcitysoul will also touch down in moscow end of may - the first time with us two together so it's another debut here!
freshly uploaded you'll find the recording of my last set at the you fm clubnight. still surprised by the massive feedback of my last mix i put on soundcloud, so keep on clicking, listening, loading and feedbacking to force me not to stop feeding the feed... if that makes any sense ;)

wow, what an amazing trip to berlin. thanx to thorsten and, no joke, to the "deutsche bahn". in the train to berlin i realised i forgot my ticket and the laptop. well, got both in the end and could play the panoramabar. thanx to steffi here who did an amazing warm up! will saul was missed big time at the night and the dinner due to the cancelled flights from the uk that day - interesting to have met phillip from mandy at the dinner, different worlds to say the least. stay tuned for some of the pictures i took in berlin and at the panoramabar. coming up next is the "ohral labelnight" with hardy heller in cologne and my debut at "monkeys" club, giessen. so good all gigs are in germany and don't need any flightaction ;)
april 5th, 2010

what a list of destinations for me to go to ;)
it might sound funny but langenselbold won't be the least in this package i am sure. my last gig there with onur özer was simply amazing. packed like a can of fish and loaded with hot summe vibes this night was one of the best parties i experienced in a loooong time. thanx to everybody involved - especially onur: sagol!
coming up friday is one of the rare back2back sessions with toni rios and myself for the "bad boys club" at the lounge/cocoonclub. saturday will see my return to club gold (langenselbold!) and the gold debut of tech-house-longtimer frank lorber. my gig next saturday will take me to italy - finally some sun after this long long winter! markus fix and myself meet tim xavier at piazzale 3bon in civitanova marche. never heard of the city? well, me neither ;)

back back back after a little break and a free weekend in january I i will hit the decks again today. and that even twice as I will dj two gigs tonite which is quite easy as the two locations are only 50 miles away. i look especially forward to february and my return to lovely konstanz and manic munich ;)
jan 10th, 2010
what a start. onur, dinky and blm as special guests for christophers and my birthday at cocoon. it was a very nice evening and night. shouts to everybody that showed up and xxl thanx to dali & tina, holger, andreas, matthias, aarash, manu, judith and ariane, susi, nina and boris, wojtek and of course extra extra shouts to kathrin. the night kicked in quite late due to the weather (no thanx to "daisy" and extra extra no thanx to the panic-weather-forecasts, sic!) but turned out to be very good and special with an amazing crowd that seemd to be very much into the music. wow ;)
to everybody who enjoyed onurs and my music, please keep the below standing date in mind as we have a little rematch end of february at lovely club gold!
dec 30th, 2009
fingers crossed and let's hope the world will be a better place (oh my god, a michael jackson quote). music is of course one way to spread love & happiness but there are many more things that need to be done and the failure of the copenhagen conference showed us that music is unfortunately not everything. so, my wish for 2010 is peace and global understanding for the problems that need to be solved! and of course, back to the track: more good house music ;)
"massive" at cocoon with luciano and mathew jonson dec 18th was an amazing night and i hope to see all of you again at cocoon for my birthday celebration. yes, again, another year, dammed, time is passing close to lightspeed it seems. be my guest and enjoy the music of onur özer and miss dinky and have a glas of champagne or water with me. or two, or three. water of course.
nov, 2009
I have to admit it (again): I definetly need to update my blog more often here. too little time too many things to do, dammed. the last weeks were amazing, especially sven's birthday and my return to grazy graz and the wicked boogeebasement boys! if you ever come to graz make sure to see/hear one of their nights. and of course i need to thank everybody there including rainer and dj hell (nice house set by the way, surprising). dinner at restaurant johann was amazing, too.
oct 2nd, 2009
