WHEN TWO SOUNDS GO TO WAR

 Gambiaustrian full-time promoter DJ TAFF brought SOUNDCLASH culture back to Vienna past Friday with a ting called WAR INNA VIENNA.

 Berlin based Gambian one-man-army veteran MIGHTY from TIMELESS SOUND travelled to Austria's capital with a heavy loaded dubbox in order to clash TU GEDDA SOUND, an upcoming big sound from STP.

 After a top ranking warm-up done by KODAK and an instruction by the host KINETICAL the show would start following international rules. If you couldn't make it all the way to Vienna, the whole clash has been documented by KODAK from Rebel Radio and DJ TAFF.

Big Up for the great work and check out Part 1 (9 parts in total) starting with TIMELESS:
 

TU GEDDA took the trophy after the dub fi dub round and also got the most feedback in the previous rounds. A good performance with great speeches and custom dubplates justify the decision of the people!

 After the clash a big discussion started about bias and ting but to everyone can make up his own opinion by watching the videos or download and listen to the raw and uncut AUDIO here!

 ...and hopefully there gonna be a "Clash Rematch" in Berlin city. Watch out for the 28th July!!

SUPPORT TACHELES NOW

The legendary house project called Tacheles in Berlin Mitte was occupied in 1990 and is housing an artist collective but it has been threatened with eviction for quite a long time. It represents a crucial building for the growth and life of subculture in many different ways but yesterday something tragic happened: The police and securities from a private company came and locked the building...



...but the fight is not over yet. From today midday onwards rallies and demonstrations will be held in front of the building. So if you are in Berlin show some support and if you are not please spread the word and SUPPORT TACHELES!!

TODAY WAS A SUCCESS... SEE THE VIDEO:

POWA CUTS PON SEVEN INCH

Following the footsteps of original Dub culture and celebrating great Reggae productions from the 70s, Barcelona-based austrian DJ & producer Max Powa and Jamaica-based german music manager Lenny Roots have put their love and effort in founding a brand-new label called POWA CUTS.

"POWA CUTS collaborates with veteran reggae singers and transforms classic material into crisp, powerful 7 inch vinyl cuts!"

Today, the first 7'' vinyl single was released including a vocal and dub version of Max Powa's reinterpretation of Horace Andy's "Do You Love My Music", originally recorded by Everton Da Silva in Canada, 1977.

Now tune in and watch out for the next releases and the upcoming remix EP of "Do You Love":

COMIC BASS REMIXED BY BACKLAB

The Austrian art collective BACKLAB created a remix audio/video mashup edit strictly showing Youtube samples. Being part of the Servus operetta and screened at Stadtwerkstatt Linz, it is kind of a love confession to the holy Internet and Backlab wants to give back what it did to them - in the words of F*** ("shorty without from delay")...

ORIGINAL MAJOR LAZER SEEN AT CARNIVAL

WANTED!! As you can see on the pictures below: MAJOR LAZER exists for real and he was spotted on a so-called "faschingsgschnasment" close to the riverbanks of Linz:

There are no doubts about that the ORIGINAL DON aka MAJOR LAZER is not a futuristic character invented by Diplo and Switch but really exists in flesh and blood. Here is the proof where he is hanging around with his jungle buddy at the carnival:

If you want to meet him... he might be coming to the post-carnival ARRÓZ CON POLLO tonite or at last at the Notting Hill Carnival this year... watch out!!
