I still remember very well, where I heard Waiting For Cousteau by Jean Michel Jarre for the time. On one of my first tours with MFS Records we were driving through the scenic mountainside between Austria and Munich. It was September 19th 1992 - a Sunday. The night...
I just watched a Berlin documentary on rbb (Radio Berlin-Brandenburg) about the music scene in West-and-Eastberlin before the opening of the wall. It is full of great pictures and music and although it's in German language, I recommend it to all you guys'n gals out...
Walfisch Berlin was THE classic Afterhour club in the early 90s in Berlin. Doors would open by 10 am in the morning and the party would be at its peak at 4 pm in the afternoon. The music was new black polished chrome and came over the summer like liquid night. Once or...
Today I'd like to introduce you to Projekt Erde, a very unknown ambient act from Germany. I discovered their double-album Mysterious Vibration/ 11:11 in 1992, mainly due to the nicely looking CD box. Turn this music loud and let it swell and drift like a warm and...

Bikini Berlin is your different kind of shopping mall, situated between Gedächtniskirche and Zoologischer Garten. In fact you have a brilliant view on the monkeys rock of the Berlin zoo from Bikini. And if you like unconventional shops selling nicely selected little...
I've been wondering all my life, why people hate people that they don't even know. Why do people fight each others, instead of clinging together and working with each others for a better living for everybody on this planet? In the end it all comes down to suspicion...
When I bought this double vinyl in 1994, I was totally shocked by the stunning beauty of Aphex Twin's music. Sure, sometimes he drops disturbing industrial hardcore beats. But the Ambient pieces on this album belong to the most beautiful music I've ever heard. Music...

I've been proudly releasing stuff on BluFin from Cologne already since years. While I was sitting in the studio with my man from New Delhi Rummy Sharma, mixing our future release for BluFin, label head Andrea Engels send us a couple of tracks to choose for a remix....
So here it is: the final episode of motherfunk, my monthly Funk radio show on BLN.fm. For the farewell show I uncover the mystery of the music used for the motherfunk intro and outro jingles. Of course I could not resist to play some Level 42 in this 42nd show and to...

...in Mitte represents so much the state of Berlin in 2014: the old and trashed and revolutionary next to the new and slick and expensive. Gentrification is in full effect. My beloved Berlin is slowly changing into a city that those people who represented it 20 years...

Little did Mijk van Dijk and Marcos López know back in June 1992, that they would write a techno classic called Schöneberg only about one year later. MFS Records had just released the ground-breaking compilation Tranceformed From Beyond, often called "the first Trance...
Just when I wanted to quit smoking, I got that funky little Traktor Audio 2 DJ Mk.2, that fits in a cigarette box. Nice as a backup sound card.
While I first thought, that the sad news about the death of Frankie Knuckles were a very bad-tasted April fool's joke, now the certitude is sinking in, that we have lost one of the very first true pioneers of electronic dance music (nope, I won't say "EDM"). Where...
