Do you remember a post at si-blog about So Im Jo several months ago? This nice band from Australia has a soundcloud account and indeed you can download all of the tracks for free. The address is http://soundcloud.com/soimjo . Their tracks are rather interesting , nice electronic vocals and samples gives a good impression. I have started follow their work as well as I asked them already to give an interview for our blog. Catch a glimpse of their description on soundcloud.
Sydney duo, fuelled by adventurous electronic music dedicated to writng accessible song based tunes ready made for the ballroom or bedroom. Ideas, machines, instruments & error are the foundatons of an evolving So I’m Jo sound. So I’m Jo are Glen Cassidy and Damon Cameron from Sydney, Australia.

They, the people is a short movie by Gruppe Slatan Dudow – Filme gegen Deutschland from 2002. It’s a nice little film collective against Germany, i met one of them once, because i ordered a DVD of them and they brought it personally… They are named after the communist director and screenwriter Slatan Dudow. Enjoy the movie.

This is a part of the Turner prize awarded 2008 Fiorucci Made Me Hardcore of Mark Leckey. It shows rave culture from the past. Enjoy.
It doesn’t have much sound, so watch it once in the original and a second time with some oldschool rave track…

Our last escape mission from Athens was a good motivation for several good discussions concerning how we comprehed “a good environment according to our ideas about techno parties in general”. Thessaloniki is definitely a good example regarding this debate. Psycho-geographically (I use a situationist term in order to describe properly) the city is an excelent location for techno , minimal and other urban concepts. Thessaloniki ’s city plan has nothing to feel jealous about from other international metropolis of planet earth , who are famous for their electronic music scenes such as London , Berlin etc.
Comparing Thessaloniki with Athens now, I came up to a conclusion. I realized why art happenings are certainly more successful at the most of the cases there. Thessaloniki is a good combination of various things. Smaller than Athens(You dont have to walk much) but smarter , more artists , better events , small walkways , industrial sites and many more stuff that really offers an essentialy sofisticated mood and inspiration. Well , I think in the sense of psycho-geography Thessaloniki is a lot of promised location for the future . Im definitely looking forward to see what it will happens at the near future in the city. We are also planning to write more reports and an extend info article (special editon) in the future. Glimpse at the pics bellow(there are just few but…). special thanks to angeldoumis and flybutter for the good job
DJ Sprinkles at Panormabar/Berghain 29.1.2010 review February 4, 2010

DJ Sprinkles is the artist name of Terre Thaemlitz, a genderactivist, writer and artist.
To prelisten to some of S. tracks, go here to get an impression of the style. It’s political flavoured minimal house maybe… In the set there were no tracks like the one I linked as an introduction, it was not a presentation of own stuff, but more a party-orientated set of course. I don’t know so much about the background and all the concepts of this artist yet, I was told some stuff by a flirty gay at the party, but well people tell you anything to flirt 
It started by reading an interview and digging up some info, after which I was eager to go to Panoramabar in Berghain last friday, I wanted to see the person behind this postmodern queer radical theories play music.
At the beginning, I was a bit surprised, no queer extravaganza on the first sight (apart from maybe in the music, the opener track was just happy electronic music to me). But maybe that’s the artistic concept, not to fullfill the expectations that you might have associated with queer and trans style. Because in the end it’s about that, getting over the categorizations that are made through outward appearance, to make room for diversity.
So on the one hand I was delighted by the subtle and interesting set, where “politics” only appeared in the selection of vocal tracks and in the general artistic attitude. But on the other hand I was suprised how well the music flowed in the background as entertainment while people where flirting and bragging in all the old patterns.

Our first party in Greece is a fact. It was a great event , the djs gave inspiration , the people were dancing till the end and the queer , party people attitude was excellent. Instead a party report , we are referring the short notes of Aris (a person behind the organizational process in Thessaloniki) and some more thoughts by fancypunk author of this blog and dj at the party(second part available tomorrow) . You can also find 2 short videos with kalle and tristen playing as well as many photos. See you at the next event .. party is everywhere

As I ‘m getting many a congrats-message, and although I try to respond personally to everyone, I have only one thing to say: I ‘ve been in many a party with great sound, great DJs, in an optimal location etc. Often I didn’t have fun at all; cause it is the party-people, the mood that they bring, that makes a party.
This party was a success cause the people who attended were not aggressive, we were all there to have fun, we acted friendly and politely and we (well me not so much, as I sadly was far too busy 
) danced “like nobody’s watching”
The space invaders are normophobic. They love socializing and people who are friendly and good-mannered, that being the essence of partying (along with good music and very dark decadent spaces, unquestionably)
At 7:00 we had to discontinue the use of Peirama, so we moved to another location and partied till after 10:00!
Thank you all, for making this a really ENJOYABLE event!
The party actually took some time to get started. I was too busy running around to understand what precisely was going on, but my sources tell me that after 3:00 we had a great mood and lot’s of crazy dancing!
Especially, but not exclusively, and in no specific order, Giannis Dracopoulos, Harris Tzortzis, Antonio Dalkiran, Panagiotis our bartender and Lena, Fancypunk , fly butter, and Angelos our warming-up-DJs. This event couldn’t have been the success it was without you!
Alexandros XVanda, I do not thank you, I LOVE you!
Apollwn S. Pytheios, you ARE space invader!
Tristen, Ka Ger (Kalle) YOU ARE HOT (in every possible meaning of the word!

Metalheadz event .. an upcoming party (Friday 5 March 2010) that shouldnt miss February 1, 2010

The previous drum n bass party was great , but the upcoming one is gonna be AWESOME! Goldie and Randal two of the legends of drum n bass in Athens for a unique event. The only problem If I can complain for a little is the location. My impression for Bios is not the best since on the door the people are rude (bitches as Fenia , friend of mine says) as well as the drinks are a bit expensive and the whole atmosphere is cram usually. Well , I highly recommend this event in the end even If i dont like the location so much. I never attend on a Goldie&Randal event in the past and I love this shit since I was 14..Im impatiently waiting
