F Kenya Never Dies: Madame Zehae Ala’s Return

It’s a great week in music: The Palaceer of Shabazz Palaces (and formerly: Digable Planets) took over blogging duties at Gorilla vs. Bear, Modeselektor are going to turn Berlin’s Fete De La Musique (that’s tomorrow) into a sweatfest at Mauerpark, and yet we keep returning and returning and returning to a track that first made [...]

FRESH FROM THE OVEN

‘Let them eat pepper gas’
Recep Tayyip Antoinette
‘Welcome the the gas festival’, ‘There is a beach under the stones’, ‘There is a revolution going on here, Signorita’,‘I could not find a slogan’ were some of the slogans written on the walls of beauteous cities of Turkey, the land of pepper. All you have been seeing in the news was a [...]

Booty Call

This one’s hardly new anymore after more than a week, but since we’ll probably never do it anyway, I have to say: Eric Wareheim, whose visual language makes me wake up at night thinking of Leland Palmer and white horses, actually deserves the mono.kultur treatment.

SIX DANCES

Time to end/start the week by watching a beautiful and fun piece of choreographer Jiri Kylian!

Provisional Indeed

Truly a shame that it wasn’t really the right Jai Paul album… but let’s not get all excited about this and wait a little longer – and maybe have some drinks next Friday or Saturday in Berlin?

C’EST CANDY

Jules et Jim by Truffaut or Band of Outsiders by Godard are classical Nouvelle Vague films well-known by their beautiful scenes like Jules and Jim singing with Catherine; Odile, Arthur and Franz running through the Louvre in three minutes and dancing in synchrony at a bar.  This time, in the new short movie by Wes [...]

SCATTERED CROWDS

Sometimes we like to torture ourselves with drooling over worthwhile exhibitions in places where we are not, like this gem of a project at the wonderful location of Bockenheimer Depot in the city of Frankfurt, which master choreographer William Forsythe, he on our personal wish list for an interview, filled up to the roof with [...]

UPTEMPO

After last summer’s rumours of Daft Punk releasing a new studio LP, it now seems to be more and more official. We are convinced that their new record will create even a bigger impact than their 2005 release Human After All! For all those who are waiting in eager, don’t miss out on the fantastic prequel [...]
