SLICES ISSUE 4-09. DJ SNEAK
Berlin – October 29, 2009

Catching up DJ Sneak in europe get more likey again. Good for us that Weekend club made a special night with him. 
He combined that with a visit at Jay Haze´s studio…one of his buddys over Berlin. We met him for his second big passion cooking. And were quite curious what we would have on the table. After we can say having a reaaal
 „Puerto Rican“ food prepared from Sneak is a delicious thing. Yam Yam!

In Weekend Club then he blew it all away…What a great House sound!

Good Job Sneak…get the vibe of Sneak´s DJ gig and the smell of the food over the screen on the next Slices Issue 4-09!

SLICES ISSUE 4-09. AUX88
Berlin – October 23, 2009

Goin Undaground was the motto of the day. The location was phenomenal for the Mad Scientists. This is the new project of Aux 88 from Detroit.

We were in the basement of an old city indoor pool in Berlin-Wedding which is reused for art projects sometimes. Its a really great and kind of spooky location! Check their website: www.stattbad.net

Aux 88 assure with sympathy and being exceptional gentle guys. It went even more expectional when we heard their interest on Sci-Fi and Future and how that effects their sound which they give the name „Techno-Bass“.
Hear and feel what is all in their mind on the upcoming Slices Issue 4-09.
Props to Aux 88. „Keep the spirit alive!“

SLICES SHOT NO.6 FOR ISSUE 4-09 – WHOMADEWHO

SLICES ISSUE 4-09. WHOMADEWHO
Copenhagen – October 20, 2009

Question of the day…Who made Who?
Over Kopenhagen Tomas Barfod, Jeppe Kjellberg and Tomas Hoffding can answer the best to that. We met the band to have a promenade at the cosy coast of the nordic sea of denmark.

What a great view with a sun smiling all day at us. Lucky we are with the weather these days also in Kopenhagen all day sunshine.

The Whomadewho Boys told funny tales out of school. Some about vodka and some about memorable live moments. After a good danish meal in the „Lil pharmacie“ we went to their studio. See it all on the next slices Issue 4-09

Hamburg – October 14, 2009

Today we had a rendezvous with the guys of Smallville label in their recordshop. We were hosted very friendly with tea and had a nice chat. Perfect to start into another lovely day in Hamburg.

SLICES SHOT NO.4 FOR ISSUE 4-09 – SOLOMUN

SLICES ISSUE 4-09. SOLOMUN
Hamburg – October 13, 2009

We met Solomun at his own club EGO which is close to Hamburgs Reeperbahn.
From there we started a little roundtrip through Hamburg.
Solomun grew up in Hamburg and you can see when you go around with him that he loves it here piece by piece! We changed from one interesting station to another in the City.
First stop was Hamburgs Michel, a famous church, from where you have an amazing view over Hamburg.
Then we walked to St. Pauli Landungsbrücken and Solomun took us on a boat trip through the port.

We saw huge transport tanks coming in the port from everywhere of the world..massive!
Next stop was the Gängeviertel, a melting point of subcultures, with a vibe that was very inspiring.

After almost 8 hours we did all our pictures plus interview and finished our working day.
Tip: For seeing the Magic stabs exhibition go and see Solomuns club „Ego“. We can just recommend it.

SLICES ISSUE 3-09. YELLO
Zürich – Aug 08, 2009
On the 8th of August we went to Zürich for the last shoot of SLICES Issue 3-09
with electronic pioneers Yello.

On the most turbulent weekend in Zürich that we could choose with „Streetparade“ we made our way to the Yello Headquarter! We met Dieter and Boris and their nice manager Peter who all made it most comfortable for us.
After a short brainstorm we started to do some shoots in their holy studio and interviewed Boris about the Yello Sound, producing and so on.
He played some samples of the upcoming album to us and we were very impressed about the coolness and deepness of the new sound that made us goosebumps all over the body!
After the studio part we did an interview with Dieter about the visual side of Yello, art and more.
Next on the schedule was a visit in the Postproduction studio to have a look into the material of their upcoming show which they prepared exclusive for „Electronic Beats Classics“.
We were flashed by amazing animation and again goosebumps, goosebumps!

It was really inspiring to talk with these Gentleman and they showed us how you can be still cool and innovative after 30 years. Thank you for the nice day at „La Casa Yello“.
Put warm clothes on for the upcoming show „Touch Yello“ on the 1st of october at „Kino International“ in Berlin. ENTERTAINMENT GARANTEED!

Slices Shoot No. 8 in Vancouver: CANCELED

SLICES CANADA TOUR. DAY EIGHT: CANCELED!
Vancouver – July 13, 2009
Oh what a day!!!
Ear infection, blisters on our feets and finally Aklimatize canceled our shoot today spontaneous cause he went sick overnight.
Great! Now we hangin`out at our apartment licking our wounds and waiting for our flight back to Berlin tomorrow afternoon. It will be a long and exhausting trip via Amsterdam!
So we only finished 7 of 8 planned features in Canada and have to do another unexpected shoot when back in Berlin.
Slices Issue 3-09 so far: Musique Risquee, Akufen, Somfay, Mossa, Moonstarr, Pheek, Jay Tripwire and YELLO.

Slices Shoot No. 7 in Vancouver: JAY TRIPWIRE

SLICES CANADA TOUR. DAY SEVEN: JAY TRIPWIRE
Vancouver – July 10, 2009
On shooting day 7 we had a date with Jay Tripwire. An light on the House Scene that don´t put himselv in middle of the place but has a very shiny appearence in his personality. Who has not noted this guy on his checking list of music search, miss something…

In a talk with him you hear that he went in process higher mental and don´t give himselv to just party for promoters that should book him again. With a sensitive sense for his surrounding he care about social problems and makes it simple to help. That kind of spot was actually also planned for our shooting on that day with him. The dark side of the city! His kind of helping is usually to organize parties where he ask the guests to bring old clothes and other things which could help. And then he goes to the streets where many homeless and drug addicted people change the picture of the city of glass. But well, it is now summer so this kind of work was not possible to do with him for the feature. Also we got the feeling that it would be not easy to follow that idea of filming in Gastown where you see the ones that fell out the system. So we decided to go to the nature part of the city where Jay make himselv mentally strong and come to breath the smell of energy that nature gives when he does walking or jogging at nights when others sleep. The Stanley Park with its beautiful seawall around.

Our resume is that it seems this man has the formula how to make things simple with a big shiny effect. Maybe that is also the secret of his music. In a very decent way he speak about his success and the times when record selling could make you rich fast. But with his positive energy he is thankful for the present and looking bright into the future. On top he gave us a personal and authentic interview about attitude towards circumstances of life and simply being human.
A philosopher in the modern world!

Slices in Canada- Off to Vancouver

SLICES CANADA TOUR. TRAVEL DAY
Montreal / Vancouver – July 8, 2009
After 12 days Montreal we moved on to Vancouver.
5 hours flight and 3 hours time difference.
Can you imagine how big this country is?

Everything started super good, when an actually acttractive Asian girl in the airplane didn´t want to put away her laptop and its cables in the right way it should be. She had a whole arsenal of cables which were in the middle of the way. To make it short, after the steward asked her 3 or 4 times to put the cables and laptop for the starting of the flight away, the girl started to scream hysteric and insult the steward in a very unpolite way. And that in a loudness that everybody in the plane got to notice. The end of the story, the captain turned back to the gate and the police had to bring her out of the flight. As she checked already in, the suitcase needed to get out of the plane as well. Everybody where pissed off and shouted to send her directly out by the airfield. With a delay of one hour we finally started.

And now Vancouver here we are!
