In April, i’ll be away so Johanna Knutsson and Kate Miller will take over for me with a double High Power FM show. In anticipation, I played 4 hours this month and took this as an opportunity to do on air, something that I have been doing once in a while on the weekend in the last 18 months.
A Kneipe is a bar in German.
Most bars in Berlin have 2 turntables and some of them are happy to have DJs playing records over the weekend. There is this place just down my street called B-Lage who first had me and this has been extremely helpful to me in so many ways. Ever since, i played there more or less every month and I also started playing in some other Kneipes. It’s been an amazing experience having five hours for me during which I could share my weirdest records with people just having a nice relaxed time. But the fact that people do (very often) not dance, does not mean that playing in bars doesn’t come with a series of constraints and this residency has also told me a lot about what to play when and for whom.
Here is what I did in the studio in Lichtenberg while friends of Fictions or friends of Cashmere or friends of Cocktails were sipping and chatting ! Enjoy and see you all in May xxx
