| Videos | Back in the day: Thomas Fehlmann with Palais Schaumburg live in 1981 Posted: 02 Sep 2008 06:57 PM CDT Recently I've been re-reading Jürgen Teipel's awesome book 'Verschwende Deine Jugend'. It's the oral history of the emerging German punk and new wave scene at the end of the '70s and early '80s, the German counterpart to Legs McNeils and Gillian McCain's 'Please Kill Me: The Uncensored Oral History Of Punk'. A lot of people who became integral players in electronic music are interviewed in this book, and Thomas Fehlmann is one of them [read more after the jump]. Watch this video on Beatportal.com |
| News | London’s The End to close, no sign of new beginning Posted: 02 Sep 2008 05:14 PM CDT Leading underground club The End in central London will close on January 24th 2009 after 13 years of clubbing madness. The closure of The End at 18 West Central Street brings the final tally of important electronic music clubs to have closed in London in the last 12 months to five. The End joins Turnmills, The Cross, Canvas and The Key on the list of doomed dance music clubs that have disappeared in a cloud of development dust this year. In December 2007, The Cross, Canvas and The Key got smashed to smithereens to make way for the Channel Tunnel Rail link. Then in March, Turnmills nightclub in Faringdon made way for some real-estate developers who turned the building into a bland office space. So what the hell is going on with London's club scene? |

Reminiscent of Smith N Hack's remix of Herbert 'Moving Like A Train', the track is more minimal and more percussive. |
| News | Top Track: Signalrunners and Julie Thompson ‘These Shoulders’ Posted: 02 Sep 2008 12:43 AM CDT Slightly edgier and deeper than your typical modern day trance release, ‘These Shoulders’ is a track that makes you sit up and take notice.
