Never heard about them (to be honest), but thanks’ to Melvin Bronques i now discovered some great new band.

With some great mixuture of sythetisized sounds, singing and drumming with a non electronic drumset “MY PEOPLE” really rock the house as you can see in the video.

Over the last two decades Detroit got well known all over the world for it’s role in Techno music.

But before Techno Detroit was Motown city and is a source for great music of many genres.

We just received the friend request by a great Funk/Soul/Jazz band from the city of steel that we strongly advise you to check out right here.

Whilst visiting their page to listen to their great stuff you might wanna stop by at our home on MySpace.

Just a day ago DJ Spinna from Brooklyn/NYC happened to perform in Tokyo/Japan and a good friend of ours happened to be there as well…

Eelco who is currently travelling Japan sends his daily reports to friends and family. Read what he experienced last night:

“...i think annemarie and guus still remember carl craig in berlin in 2000 at no ufo. most of my old friends for sure remember laurent garnier in nighttown that same year. killer nights. well i just added another one. spinna 2008 in tokyo. he was a bomb of energy. unstoppable. a nuclear explosion. this guy really knows how to party. and he himself does it whilst playing the set. house detroit acid club jazz soul funk hip hop are the main genres that came by. all seeming to connect. and he loves percussion. those were the mixes that took about 10 minutes from the beginning till the end. the rest was a wirlpool of records comming by. he plays final scratch that is digital turntabling. no vinyl. although he had some vinyl but not much. so i think final scratch if you use it the right way can be perfect. again a dj that played all night long. he started at 11 and ended at 8....”

Guess Eelco encountered one of those rare nights… Check out DJ Spilla on MySpace

Check out this hilarious YouTube video where Amy and Pete play with some small mice.

How do i love those guys… Really looking forward to some collaboration of Amy and Pete - musically spoken…

It’s Madge again - this time on the May cover of Q mag.

Time for Hard Candy soon!

And again it’s Madonna on the cover of a fashion magazine.

This time we can see her on the May cover of the french Elle.

Sooner or later the models will have to worry…

As Kraftwerk are doing the first gigs of their current tour of the US, one member is missing: Florian Schneider!

At this time of day everything is speculation, like the idea that Mr. Schneider might have skipped the tour due to the fact that former Kraftwerk member Klaus Dinger died at the age of 61 on March 20th 2008, which got him thinking about his future in the most influential electronic music band of all times.

Schneider who just turned 61 himself on the 7th of April is one of the two founding members of Kraftwerk. Back in 1968 he met Ralf Hütter and in 1970 they founded the band which, in it’s genre, can be easily compared with the influence and success of the Beatles.

As the history of the band shows, the wait for an official statement can last from short to eternal and so at the moment anything is left to the reader’s imagination.

If the absence of Florian Schneider-Esleben at last night’s Minneapolis concert is just an exception will soon be answered on tonight’s concert at the Eagles Ballroom in Milwaukee/WI.

Will the mystery “30 something” man you can see on the right hand side of the picture show up again instead of Florian Schneider? Is it all just a hoax? The answer lies just a few hours ahead.

The Madonna “magazine cover mania” is starting to remind me about Forrest Gump.

At some point in the movie he tells a woman that he “again” was invited to the White House…

And it’s Madonna “again” on the cover of a magazine… This time on Elle’s USA May cover.

The British edition of Elle has the woman of the moment on it’s May cover.

No, not Leona Lewis as one might guess, but Madonna! Great times for all fans these days.

Montreal-based DJ The Mole will release his debut album titled “As High As The Sky” on Wagon Repair on May 26, 2008.

Last night R.E.M. performed their current hit “Supernatural Superserious” from their album “Accelerate” which has just been released.

Not much can be said about their performance on “Wetten Dass...?”. When they left the stage presenter Thomas Gottschalk (who is loads older than Michael Stipe) said: “That’s what we need - guys above forty!”

As the release of Hard Candy is coming closer, we’ll surely see Madge on more covers soon.

This time shot again by Steven Meisel.

Doesn’t he look adorable in his current “young Sven Väth” style?

Like some fountain of new ideas the folks over at Berlin based Minus label headquarters are always up for something new - like this Japan project.

“We always have crazy ideas going on over here at Minus. Right now we are working on an idea for a small project in Berlin.

Please send emails to Franziska @
