Message from the waterfront: don't hang around in the shade. Enjoy your life in the sunshine. Coz like Roy Ayers knows: Everybody Loves The Sunshine. Need I say more? Well, maybe I should tell you a bit about my connection to that song. Back in 88, when the music was...

Pfhhhh, such a hot day today in Berlin. And here's my perfect soundtrack for a lazy hot sunday afternoon: The Style Council's Long Hot Summer with it's super-elegant bass line and floating arpeggios and of course the golden voice of Paul Weller. In the 80s I was a...
Yo, Germany is microglobemeister and Mijk van Dijk likes it. Florian Meindl has got something to celebrate too: 100.000 Facebook follower, that's why he is giving away a great Techno tune for free on his Soundcloud. And Roisin Murphy celebrates her comeback with...
Sunday Music on a Tuesday? Yes, please excuse me, but yours truly was busy watching the Football World Cup Final last Sunday and to jump for joy after the match. I already told you a bit or two about my passion for football and my hope, that the German team might face...

Some more web love for Billie Ray Martin's new single. http://humanfascination.wordpress.com/2014/06/05/billie-ray-martin-after-all/
Words don't come easy after such a truly historic match. I've been watching the World Cup 2014 semi final between host Brazil and Germany at a friend's place and after 30 minutes we rubbed our eyes in disbelief: it seemed so unreal what happened at the Estádio...
4 weeks ago I posted about the World Cup in Brazil. Now the quarter finals have been played and my 2 favourite teams are still in the contest and might meet in the final, just like 40 years ago in World Cup 1974. As a son of a Dutch father and a German mother, little...
This Sunday I give you an original recording from Kiss FM Berlin, transmitting the Interference Festival during Love Parade 1994 at Tresor - yes, 20 years ago Kiss FM was not yet playing just R&B, but also R&S... 😉 I was jumping in for moderation of the...
As most of you might or should know I am part of the Liquid Sky Berlin collective and good friends with LSB head honcho Dr. Walker of Air Liquide fame. Liquid Sky Berlin is the home for all kinds of disturbing and distorted electronica, but also has a beautiful...
Nice to see that my remix for Billie Ray Martin has been picked and played as the second track in Nemone's Electric Ladyland on BBC Radio 6 music. Listen to the whole episode "An Evening With Hed Kandi" >>HERE<<. But be quick: only 4 more days to listen on...
As the nightwings come down slowly upon this Sunday, I am being reminded of an exceptional album by Dutch Jazzrock guitarist Jan Akkerman in conjunction with German musical arranger, orchestrator, conductor & composer Claus Ogerman from the year of 1978. This is...

It's the World Cup in Brazil. Everybody's watching football (yes, including yours truly). Nobody's watching the politicians. And what are they doing? They are passing all the laws, that they don't want us to know about and protest against. They pass them secretly in a...
This is a documentary about the Berlin Techno scene from 2014. Another authentic time capsule which we will watch with bittersweet reminiscence in a few year's time. It's a student's project by Ben Auwerx from France. Yours truly is adding some thoughts about...
Yes, it's the World Cup 2014 in Brazil and could I not treat you with some Brazilian flavour in my Sunday Music column? Of course no official World Cup songs or Samba EDM remakes, but some really lovely 60's Bossanova from the original masters. Although I have some...
My friend Javier Garayalde, one of the brothers behind Kyodai and Wagon Cookin' (check their music, they are amazing) mentioned on Facebook that tonight it's Friday 13th AND full moon. Truely a Thriller Night, like in Michael Jackson's famous video. Surely today's...
Today finally the football world cup in Brazil starts. And as much as I'm a fan of football and support the German team, I am shocked like many of you about the way, the "beautiful game" has been taken out of the hands of the people by the leaders of FIFA in...

Have you ever wondered about that quite familiar looking young dude that you always see on the screens of Berlin's Boiler Room sessions, flipping 3,5" floppy disks in an old school sampler and smirking into the camera whilst twiddling knobs on his 303? Yep, that's me....
Moritz von Oswald aka Maurizio and Mark Ernestus, founder of the legendary Hardwax store are no less than true inventors. With their project and imprint Basic Channel, they single (or double-) handedly created Dub Techno as we know it today. Think Phylyps Trak, ...
