MOOD ESCAPE

To Freya Douglas-Morris, I came across your landscapes somehow and I find them incredibly wonderful. They manage to capture almost everything invoked by a scene–the wealth of hue, the latent mythology, and the sublimity of presentness that is both concrete and dislocated, leaving the memory to imagine various permutations of some detail–maybe a fern or a tree–shortly [...]

Lago Di Efterklango

Danish band Efterklang is back — with a web radio station called “The Lake”: “The Lake runs 24 hours daily and aims to be the anti-thesis of commercial radio.

Cuts In The Middle

Now that the Internets have survived this and Sir William Benjamin Bensussen aka The Gaslamp Killer has recovered just fine from his insane scooter accident – it’s been a year, and see above -, he’s going to go crazy (as usual) at Berlin’s Gretchen tomorrow night. Wicked!

Slipping in a puddle of vomit

Remember this? And the incredible aesthetic of this one? Add some soothing-as-hell beats (slow and yet pushing hard, in a way), and you have Sylvan Esso. On Repeat: Get up, get down. On repeat. Repeat.

The Last Days of Antje Oeklesund

SUNDAY, 11 AM

Ever wanted to go people watching in front of Berlin’s famed Berghain club on a Sunday morning? So did photographer Oliver Eglin, who took a series of portraits of clubbers post-euphoria, or as he puts it, ‘in the transitional stage between the fantasy of Berghain/Panorama and the blandness of the real world’. But rest assured, [...]
