Hallöchen! Jonsson/Alter! Justus Köhnke! Paradis!

Ah ha! Hallo! From us! It has been ages. 7 months by my last estimation.. How are you? Did you have a Merry Christmas? Ho ho ho?

There has been radio silence from our end over the last few months. Entschuldigung. Berlin sure is a busy place. 

As Omar was saying in the last post, we have reunited in Berlin recently. Many hugs have been shared - both on and off the Panorama Bar dance arena.

Blouse, Berlin and Drexciya

Steve and I have relocated from Sydney to Berlin. I don't think my feet have touched the ground yet. Well, they've touched the Berghain dance floor numerous times. Sizzle.

I miss you - yes, you. But love hurts right? To kick off Blouse - the Berlin remix - have a listen to this cut from the enigmatic Drexciya:

Why would I do that, du ask? Well, mein freund, Sydney has the warm climates und the pretty bitches. But sometimes ein mann needs to break out of die komfort zone.

Rødhåd will help me get there. And I rekommend you listen too. His new Smoke Machine podkast is dark and hypnotic. Cavernous.

Two Armadillos 'Ronin'

Adultnapper, Roaming & Unbroken Dub

The month of May is rather in intense in Berlin. Three solid public holidays, a couple of excellent Kreuzberg street parties and an assortment of bullet-proof line-ups assailing the clubs week in, week out has made my weekends seem very short. 

I was almost techno-ed out after a few too many long nights, but I'm happy to report that I am fighting my way back to full health. A few more sunny days spent in the intermittent darkness of Panorama Bar should see me back to 100%.
