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.

Rote Sonne Closing
Great Night out with Angela and Roberto from Arthouse Records, last night at Rote Sonne.
R.I.P. Frankie Knuckles (18.01.1955 – 01.04.2014)
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...

Mijk van Dijk in Japan, October 2013 (personal review)
After my wonderful live performance at WIRE13, I was back for a couple of DJ gigs to Japan at the end of October. After many years I came back to Okinawa on October 26th for club Central. By the time I flew to the most southern island of Japan, it was still uncertain...
Time4Tale – I Don’t Care (Mijk van Dijk Remix) – Family Grooves
I know Izabela & Silvio Hrabar already for many years. Me and Silvio (who was known as DJ dB back then) already played together on my first tour to Croatia in July 1999. Since then I DJ-ed quite often in and around their beautiful hometown Trogir (close to Split)....
Toby’s 50th Birthday in Tokyo
On October 29th my great friend Toby Izui aka Tobynation celebrated his B*day at Club Oiran in Shibuya-Tokyo. I was so happy to be part of his celebration. Before I take any more time in describing all that happened, here are some pictures for you. Updates soon!...
The Evolution Of Western Dance Music
Yes, I do like graphics like this and that's why I wish to share this with you. Although some details here are probably discussable, it shows a lot of connections from the past and pays respect to Africa, where our dance music grooves originally came from. So visit...

WIRE13 Banners at ageha
This just in from Japan: Banners for WIRE13 have been spotted in Japan in front of Tokyo superclub ageha. What an impressive line up. And such a great honour to be part of it. I can't wait to get there! Domo arigato gozaimasu for the pictures to MiMi Shimada. (-_-)
Mijk van Dijk feat. Michiyo Honda – My Wire To You – WIRE13 Compilation
As usual the Japanese WIRE festival releases a compilation. When I played there for the first time in 1999 I wrote a tune called Lite My Wire to celebrate the festival and my friends in Japan. This time again I took the opportunity to do something special. I am a big...
motherfunk on homesick.fm
Hah, don't worry, I am not gonna move my monthly NuFunk/ Boogie show motherfunk from BLN.fm to another radio station. But I would like to recommend an iPhone app here. As most of you might already know, BLN.fm is a web based radio that you cannot receive on your old...
Monica Jeffries – Mystery (Mijk van Dijk Boogie Remix)
Monica Jeffries from Hamburg has an amazing voice. Alison Moyet, Yazoo and Erasure come to mind, when you hear her 80s infused synth pop, nowadays a highly under-rated genre. From day one she has also been a big fan of The Chaenge, my NuFunk band with Florian...
Manuel Mind & Valentino Tomasi – Strange Sounds (Mijk van Dijk Boogie Remix) – Le Bal Records 006

The Wanderer In Schöneberg
Remember the time, long before Soundcloud, Traktor and Ableton, when DJ mixtapes were still special? Raw recordings from a night in a club with no strings attached, copied and shared tape by tape like secret knowledge. When Marcos Lopez and me aka Marmion heard a...

2 Decades – The Sound Of Berlin Club Culture (Compilation)
2 Decades Of Berlin Club Sound sqeezed into one nice compilation. Also featuring the original version of Marmion's "Schöneberg", the evergreen by Mijk van Dijk and Marcos López. Nerd fact: Schöneberg is the district in Berlin, where Mijk lives and where this track has...
Der Dritte Raum – Mechanoid (Mijk van Dijk-Remix) – Der Dritte Raum Records 005
When Andreas Krüger of Der Dritte Raum asked me for a remix of one of his tracks, I was of course very much tempted to pick his Über-Hit "Trommelmaschine". But listening once again to all those Der Dritte Raum tunes, I suddenly felt tempted to remix "Mechanoid" due to...
