Plus a bunch of pics of fine looking Parisian girlies here.

Hot thing going down tonite at Sorry, Ghettoblaster party in Warsaw as both Top Billlin / Sharkslayer teams are in town. We’re celebrating and preparing for the ’soon come’ release of Warsaw’s own DJ Sekta’s EP on Top Billin… More info on the ep later as we get the full release date, but it’s a bass-driven affair with the prince of township tech on the vocals, Spoek Mathambo.

Preview: SEKTA f. SPOEK MATHAMBO – JABA JAWS

Top Billin’ Live at Scratch – Saskatoon from Tristan Becker on Vimeo.

Here’s a little something from that two weeks trip in Canada… From the bigger cities like Toronto and Vancouver to smaller places like Saskatoon and Fernie, the whole tour was pretty amazing, thanks to all the promoters and party people for showing us such a good time… There’s just too many to mention. And of course special thanks to Miche for making the whole thing happen in the first place. We’ll always have Brokeback. Till next time…

Friday the 13th… Off to Crux club in Munich, Germany tonite. Managed to finish a remix for Schlafthofbronx for Man Rec in the evening tho, computer, hard drives, gear ok still ok. Today this would have autotune all over but that’d just ruin the feeling.

Biz Markie – To Be Real (320K) (Zshare)

We went last week to Paris to play with our extended French family, the Bootycall crew. Dope party at the Nouveau Casino with them + Nic Sarno + Booty Ben. Some pics apres le jump.

Hello World!

Should have posted this earlier, but the last week or two have been maaad hectic with the magazine I’m working on… All work and no play etc. But! Not to worry, there’s gonna be plenty of play when Anonymous and I travel to Canada next week. Last time was so good, we just had to do it again.

So that this wouldn’t be just your basic spam post, here’s an older gem from the vaults. Enjoy and see you soon!

Stomp Yo Shoes (Shazam Remix – TB Nightrunners Dub) (320K) (Mediafire)

Updating from the boat, on our way to Tallinn, the great neighbouring city. Sharkslayer will slay it tonite at Mutant Disco, a club arranged by Chris the Rhythm Doctor and Raul Saaremets. Mutant Disco has been running since for ever, over 10 years what I can remember. Check the awesome pics of Chris & Raul, they know what’s up (check the new release on Raul Saaremet’s label, Umblu). We fully recommend Tallinn as a place to visit, to me it has always been the most ‘European’ of nordic cities. Take the edit below to smash at clubs this weekend, it comes without the bad female vox (and in general more suitable for manly dj sets).

Tune Brothers – Finally (Sharkslayer Nassau edit) (320K) (Mediafire)

Mark your calendars as we will return to Paris with our French allies, the Bootycall crew. Last time at the Social Club was great with Teki and Boy 8-Bit in the house as well, this time we take over Nouveau Casino. And Paris is great during November, romantic and all, but we’ll be there with J-Laini so let’s not get into that. This little edit by the Voltron DJs a something nice for dj sets, high energy (Voltron DJs are from Belgium, but close enough to France anyway).

Devone – Energy (Voltron edit) (320K) (Zshare)

One of my favourite Belgian dishes, made correctly with white wine and other ingredients, it’s a gift from heaven… Here’s some pics from our last gig in Brussels and a free tune (file under rapdance) from the local dj/promoter/kool guy, Dave Luxe. Shouts to Parisian hero Kesmo and Brussels bad boy Kwistax who played at the party too.

Dave Luxe – In Yo Face (320K) (Zshare)

Crazy night, SEE A KOOL SET OF PICS HERE by Kevin Muenkel.

Cruising today to Sweden with Flipper, to Stockholm first and then to Luleå for some Top Billin rape & pillage (how do you get that trademark sign on the keyboard?) I could list so many great things about Sweden, but if you’ve been there you know… I’m just happy to see the gents of WTF City, brother Daniel, Agge & Stefski of Pom Pom and so on. Luleå homies also manage a nice store. Smart & casual…

A special weekend deserves a special tune… This has been one of the all time classic house songs for me for years (and my Swedish buddies can concur), so here it is and in glorius aif format…

DJ Sneak – In Da Clouds (da original dub) (Mediafire)

Yesterdays family fun was that we went to buy shoes with my daughter…. SHOES!

PS. two SL3’s lost in transit, anybody got a share one?

Brussels that is. Top Billin @ Regulate tonight in Brussels. I took off from Hannover in the morning with 2 hours of sleep, somehow managed to end up in Amsterdam and now finally got to Brussels. Left headphones to the train. Will so bang it out tonite to get rid of the disappointment in myself. Shouts to my homies Maximal Gang in Hannover, they run a tight ship.

Fonzi Thornton – I Work For A Livin (320K) (Zshare)

Hand Clap Low Conga this Saturday at Kudues Linja, J-Laini taking the controls while I’ll be at…

Brussels with Top Billin on Saturday and before that we’ll be in..

This weekend me, Nenis and J-Laini are going to Oulu. We’re playing at the Time Tunnel party which is one of the oldest annual electronic music happenings in Finland (can you feel the old school techno vibe in the name “Time Tunnel”?) and part of the Oulu Music Video Festival. The venue is the Oulu City Theater and as you can tell from the pictures it looks really something.
As Oulu is my hometown this trip will be real special to me. Haven’t really played that much there, so it’s going to be big fun. So Oululaiset peeeople get ready.
“Oulu is the largest city in Northern Finland and the sixth largest city in the country” so this mp3 hits the spot.
