Mijk van Dijk presents the first episode of music 4 the microglobe 2015. The first episode after "Charlie Hebdo". Without fear, but high on hope and confidence. Power To The People! With new tracks by Roisin Murphy, Steve Bug, David Keno such as old Techno heroes...
Yesterday I attended the "Trans-Europa-Express" show of Kraftwerk's 8-concert series at Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin. Each concert puts a different of their classic albums in the spotlight. The Neue Nationalgalerie will be closed for renovation after these concerts,...
My dear friends and fans from Japan, O-genki desu-ka? I'm very happy to finally present to you : my microglobe website in Japanese language!!! All my Microglobe? Well, unfortunately not. (-_-) However, with the help of good friends from Japan I will present...
I moved to Westberlin in 1985 to study at the Freie Universiät Berlin (abbreviated FU Berlin, sic....). Coming from a small town in Nether Saxony in the north of Germany, Berlin was the total cultural opposite of life as I knew it before. I had just made my driver's...
While I was sitting with my Liquid Sky Berlin mate Omsk Information for dinner at Rootz in Kreuzberg the other day (we had those delicious Santa Fé wraps, yummy), he mentioned a multi-racial Jazz Fusion band from Brooklyn, NYC called Snarky Puppy. He said that they...
Now this was summer 2014. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. Especially the last week was a nice payback for some unnecessary cold and rain before. 22 years ago around this time, I was waiting for the release of the Summer Remix EP of my Microglobe track High On...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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, ...
Oh look, it's Special Agent Dale Cooper. Well, of course this is Kyle MacLachlan in the leading role of the movie Dune directed by David Lynch in 1984. While most of the soundtrack of this really nice science fiction movie (also starring Sting of The Police) had been...
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...
My dear Friends, finally I am creating my own space which is not related to MySpace or Facebook. I do like those social networks a lot, but let's be honest: we don't know how long they will survive and we have absolutely no clue, what they are doing with our data. So...
We received word from Oakland/ California. The city's occupy movement celebrates their stand for freedom and justice to the sound of mijkfunk's "Kids Want Revolution". We are glad that this song inspires people to fight for their rights. [soundcloud...
Environmental thinking is a big issue right now and most of us understand that we can‘t go on living how we are, wasting the many precious resources of our planet and leading irresponsible lifestyles. Mijk van Dijk dealt with these issues 15 years ago on his...
Environ-Mental Recordings is a label from German techno producer Mijk van Dijk, also known as Microglobe. The label is designed to be a platform for digitally re-mastered 90s gems, which were only available as the physical copies on the MFS Berlin label in the 90s....
It's been almost 7 years since the last offering of remixes for the Marmion classic "Schöneberg", produced by Marcos Lopez & Mijk van Dijk back in 1993. We think it was worth the wait since the new versions by no other than DJ Hell, Abe Duque,Donnacha...
