Today's classic would be one of my personal favourites of all time. Released in 2008 for the film 'Berlin Calling', a movie about Berlin's club scene and drug culture, the song became a crossover hit. Lead actor in the film and techno god Paul Kalkbrenner produced the song, with his younger brother Fritz providing the soothing vocals for such an amazing tune. A real melodic techno gem, the perfect track to play to a loved one and just an all round great tune, todays classic is. . .

Techno
A genre I never used to be very fond of, until I stumbled (or flew) across a city that completely blew me away and opened my mind. A city renowned for it's history and edgy rebellious atmosphere, a city famed for it's arts, fashion & music. The home of Hitler for many years and the capital city of Germany, of course i'm talking about Berlin. Berlin is simply a city that has been heavily affected by its notorious history, something i'm not going to delve into but it's clearly evident if you visit. From symbolistic street art to raw fashion this place is the mecca for anyone into art, let alone music. The nightlife here is insane, coming from Perth clubs to Berlin clubs is a real eye & ear opener. Clubs tend filling up here around 2am and can go from Thursday night right through to Monday morning. They can be held in industrial like warehouses, to classy roof top bars, to even outdoor arenas all raving hard to generally one style of music, techno. The most famous club for this is Club Berghain/Panorama Bar, the temple of techno music. Given its reputation, Berghain draws a crowd from far and wide, but still retains a loyal crew of local aficionados. Many people have trouble getting in because of it's very strict door policy, one that's nothing like Australia's pointy shoes / collared shirt bullshit, instead the focus is more on not looking as 'posh' and generally being able to speak some German. Anyways the place is crazy, hosting International acts every weekend, and if your lucky enough to get in then you will experience what is widely known as 'the best clubbing scene in the world'. For those who don't, here's some real techno set's from the place itself.
Enjoy ϟ ϟ ϟ

Classic Wednesdays.
Sorry I haven't been posting shit for a while, life can sometimes get pretty hectic. And when it does you generally need something to calm you down and relieve the stress. Some people do this with a walk along the beach, some people do this with a nice candle lit dinner, some even resort to substance abuse while others. . . well who gives a shit?
Here's some tasty and chilled old school Hip Hop.
I'm posting 2 tracks because I missed last week.
Outkast - SpottieOttieDopaliscious
Explain no more, the track title says it all!
De La Soul - Eye Know
A straight up love song with a lazy, jazzy groove feel to it that represents the true concept of De La Soul. Relax and enjoy!
If your a Hip Hop head living in Perth come hit up TheHop at The Causeway. A weekly wednesday night event starting at 8pm. Check it!

Lucid Dreaming
Empowered by the knowledge that the world they are experiencing is a creation of their own imagination, lucid dreamers can consciously influence the outcome of their dreams. They can create and transform objects, people, situations, worlds, even themselves. By the standards of the familiar world of physical and social reality, they can do the impossible.
The world of lucid dreams provides a vaster stage than ordinary life for almost anything imaginable, from the frivolous to the sublime. Lucid dreaming can help you find your deepest identity– who you really are.
Lucid Dreaming is also a Recod label and promotions company based in Perth. They provide a platform for local and international deejays / producers to showcase their skills to a broarder audience, Lucid also throw amazing parties at various locations around perth, most notably their weekly I N C E P T I O N fridays which have showcased international acts with the likes of Droog, Adana Twins and Laura Jones playing there as of late. I had the chance to go to their latest gig featuring MAXXI SOUNDSYSTEM, a boat party that just had the most amazing vibe and music to compliment it. Im very much looking forward to more upcoming gigs by the company.

FEEL MY BICEP
★☆★ B I C E P ★☆★
Friday Feb 8th 2013. . .
Direct from Belfast & for the very first time in Perth. . .
Let's say you train your biceps. Blood is rushing into your muscles and that's what we call The Pump. You muscles get a really tight feeling, like your skin is going to explode any minute, and it's really tight - it's like somebody blowing air into it, into your muscle. It just blows up, and it feels really different. It feels fantastic!
PUMP! PUMP!! PUMP!!!
Here's what the work out will sound like:
Bicep will be supported by Move & The Monarchy DJs with a superb lineup of Connies regulars & local guest DJs on the terrace.
