OneBeat Berlin start their own podcast series. Be sure to listen!

The OneBeat podcast #1 mixed by Ma Tias is a journey into the best deephouse has to offer these days. Ma Tias has been DJing at our events for over 2 years now, being one of the best track selectors we know, from house to old school hip hop. When he’s playing you get the feeling that he really knows every track he’s playing and we’re looking forward to more events and dance floors together.

My good friend James runs the great label Cambrian Line, and just upped some “name your price” goodies. A great chilled track by lovely Low Line Relay, alongside Darko Kustura with his deep house stomper “Hazard”, and  James himself under his moniker Borth Sea Defence with Ynyslas (Reprise). Way to go, full support for the Cambrian Line (also recently relaunched with a nice new website). Go check the other releases, some truly good stuff!

OneBeat Berlin is back to Joao Cocteau in Neukölln for session 5 of the experimental series.
This time featuring the trio ELEPHANT to play a live jam session to accompany silent film sequences.

“ELEPHANT are the ‘contemporary melodic groove collective’. Drums, bass and piano by Christoph, Antti and Marco. Various elements from jazz, popculture, classical, contemporary and electronica, whilst improvisation is the underlying core.”

Based on silent film sequences the following concept is linep up for the night:

For the session we’ll work with a wide range of footage, not exclusively from silent films but coming mostly from around the 1920s and 1930s. The night will be divided into 3 20min parts, each representing a different theme and divided by short breaks. ELEPHANT will be improvising to a sequence they will have seen before, but never played or rehearsed to.

We’re looking forward to it. Check in on Facebook www.facebook.com/events/378658952209262, listen to some more ELEPHANT tunes on www.onebe.at/en/artists/elephant or visit www.weareelephant.com for more insights.

Inspired by Quantum Bleep’s great review of the Hey, Rube’s “Can You Hear Me Mutha?” (Steel Tiger Records) i couldn’t help but to publish it here so more listeners find out about the album.

“Hey Rube! is the new vehicle for Stephen Mallinder (Cabaret Voltaire) and Steve Cobby (Fila Brazilia) to drive all over their legacies. ‘Can You Hear Me Mutha?’ features eight examples of their studio time together, touching on undefined fusions of electro, loungey sounds, dub and loping hip hop. Expect to hear at a festival near you sometime.” via boomkat

My favorite track is most definitely Pimpdaddy, i play it again and again. Enough said, listen to this gem.
As James states: “if you don’t buy it, then shame on you!”

Fix the date: On friday i’ll be running round 4 of the OneBeat Experimental Sessions.

For this special edition for 1 year of the session, OneBeat Berlin invited the Balkan electronica duo “Get High Fiona” to play live and the Social Good Partner Viva con Agua for a short presentation about their sustainable work.

“Get High Fiona play a mix of world music, experimental electronica and soul. It’s hard to define but instantly makes you sense the depth of the emotions they put in their songwriting. Biljana plays bass on a keyboard, makes fills and sings, looping and filtering her voice. Geronimo is the multi-instrumentalist behind the main sound collage, playing the guitar, piano and wavedrum, creating beats and breaks with his computer.

Viva con Agua is raising funds and awareness for drinking water projects of the German Welthungerhilfe. But aren’t they from Hamburg and what do they do exactly? Where does the money go to? We invited Olaf from Viva con Agua to do a 10 minute talk about Viva con Agua in Berlin, their projects, activities, network, some numbers and of course their main topic: water.”
