Vogue. The bible of fashion. The benchmark for style. To be invited to a party hosted by Vogue, you know you're in the circle of the elite. To be playing for a party hosted by Vogue - well, it's an honour. Vogue's bi-annual fashion week party held at the iconic Borchardt restaurant was the setting for yesterday's party. I played along with one half of the Felder + Felder twins - Dani.   After a sound check and quick bite at the nearby Bocca di Bacco (George Clooney's favourite haunt we later find out), it was show time. Dressed in matching FELDER + FELDER prints, our heels were strapped on and ready to rock the DJ booth. One thing I have to credit to the Germans ... no two.
It was hard to concentrate on the mixing. Of course, it was highly probable half of them were gay. I have a tendency to rate gay men.The night went on to the early hours of the morning, champagne flowed and Prada heels were swung off.  Sample track list : " No Eyes (MYNGA remix) " - Claptone " Tainted Love (DANK remix) - Soft Cell "Feel You" - Tapetenweschel "Time to get physical (Botan remix)" - Nice7 "Talkin bout" - Mees Dierdop With thanks to FELDER + FELDER for the dress. Headphones by Urbanears. All round fun by the team at Borchardt and Vogue Germany.

 Landed in sunny hot Buenos Aires! Race number 4 of the FIA Formula E is on Saturday, but before that I've got some promo to do. There's nothing like spreading the word with music. One of the sponsors of driver Luca de Grassi organised a dinner and short set for me to play at VITA, one of the hottest new bars in Palermo Soho. This area is exploding with hip and trendy restaurants and bars, where people spill out onto the cobble stone streets under the amber streetlights. VITA Buenos Aires has a rooftop bar with DJ booth and small tables scattered around. Since I'm in South America I thought it appropriate to play some Latin infused beats, tribal house mixed with the new deep house tracks. I have to admit that walking around Buenos Aires, even their corner stores play decent and recent house tracks. Vita track list : "Do you feel the same" (Oliver Dollar remix) - Hercules & Love Affair "Prayer in C" (Robin Schulz remix) - Lilly Wood & The Prick & Robin Schulz "Trumpets Victory" - David August "Box Clever" - Huxley "Magic" - Lars Moston, Teenage Mutants  Thanks to all those who came down. If you are coming to the Formula E race then catch me all day at the Emotion Club!  I went to Berlin to celebrate New Years. It was an option that won only to Ibiza. But having done that last year, it was preferable to do something more out of the ordinary. What else was cooler than Berlin? With history seeping from every building, wall and street; music that filled every crevice and art on every corner, it would be the best destination to practice the infamous eat-sleep-rave-repeat experience. On the last day - morning rather, we decided it was blasphemy to come to the city of music and not pay respects to it's heart. Berghain. Coming to Berlin and not ( attempting ) going to Berghain was like going to Jerusalem and not making a pilgrimage to the Western Wall. Excitement almost exploded in our faces when we couldn't find a taxi, braving the Berlin cold on the deserted street of Torstrasse. But alas, out from the foggy distance, the cream chariot with a fuzzy yellow light atop its chassis came reigniting the excitement of our adventure.
Yet that was only the easiest part of the mission. With heavy rumours that only the chosen few pass through the concrete gates of the bellowing post-Stalin structure, we could very well have been back down the frozen gravel pathway as quickly as we'd marched up it. Thankfully no four hour demonic queue waited us upon arrival. In fact we happily almost skipped to the front at the glee that the railings were hauntingly free. Maybe a little too happily. The four doormen glanced us up and down, a snigger or two were launched unashamedly in our faces. I quickly wiped the smile off my face. I tried to look as nonplussed as I could, searching for the famous Sven Marquardt who was - quite obviously, not present. |
