WMF
RELOADED
05.09.2009 | 11PM | 10€
Entstanden aus einem Hausbesetzerkollektiv am Anfang der 90iger Jahre,
zieht die WMF Karawane seit 17 Jahren durch Berlin- Mitte, um an nunmehr
acht verschiedenen Orten seine Zelte aufzuschlagen.
Fragt man Clubgänger nach ihrem „Lieblings-WMF“ , so ensteht eine
lebendige Geschichte der Berliner Clubkultur über mehrere „Generationen“
des Berliner Nachtlebens hinweg.
Legendär sind die Parties der illegalen Anfangszeit im besetzten WMF
Stammhaus in der Leipziger Str., in den unterirdischen, von
Reichsbahncontainern getarnten ehem. Toilettenanlagen am Potsdamer Platz,
dem mit Inventar aus dem Palast der Republik ausgestatteten ersten legalen
Laden am Hackeschen Markt, im mit Holz vertäfelte ehem. Gästehaus des
Ministerrates in der Johannisstr., unter der riesigen Panoramaprojektion
im Packhof Ziegelstr. , im sozialistischen Chick des Cafe Moskau, unter
freien Himmel im Sommerlager am Rolandufer……
Dieses nomadische Prinzip garantierte eine stetige Erneuerung des
Konzeptes und den regen Austausch mit verschiedenen Szenen der Stadt.
Durch die Kooperation mit eigenständigen Veranstaltern, Musik /Modelabels,
Künstlern und Interessierten ist eine Plattform enstanden, aus der schon
so manch anderer bekannter Club hervorgegangen ist.
So hat das WMF bis heute seine Faszination erhalten und lädt dazu ein, der
Clubgeschichte im aktuellen Laden eigene neue Erfahrungen und Erlebnisse
hinzuzufügen.

A GUY CALLED GERALD
When u hear the name A Guy
Called Gerald most people in this day and age would probably say "Who the
hell's that?", those of you from back in the day are probably saying "I
wonder what he is up to now" or probably have some sort of story around
Voodoo Ray or Pacific State or Blow Your House Down or 28 Gun Bad Boy.
Then there's another group of people who have followed me over the years
and know the the full journey I've taken.
Since I
started in music I've seen the system change - the old structure crumble
away as myself and many of the others I inspired emerged from the bedroom
studio with our own self generating independence. I was one of the first
to break the mould of the strangehold that labels and studios and PR
machines had on artists. Let me just say that information is techno. The
record company dam was broken and there was a tidal wave. It was further
fueled by cheaper and cheaper studio machinery and finally the nail in the
coffin was the internet. You have no idea how happy this makes me feel.
Getting back to now I wasn't one then or now for riding the tidal wave so
I want to give you an idea of what your experience will be hearing A Guy
Called Gerald Live. I have a unique insider's view of dance music from the
early 80's to now. I started out as a 14 year old dancer sneaking into
clubs in Manchester when electro funk was the underground sound. No matter
through what genre or in what decade you discovered this music I can
guarantee you will leave with a clearer picture of the entire spectrum.
For you
geeks out there I'm coming to you live - and when i say live i mean Live -
it's not a DJ set - there is no mp3s - no wavs - no aiffs - no preset
sounds - you are hearing a fluid freestyle mixdown of my own music and my
own individual takes on classics referencing the past - direct at 96kz -
the exact quality and set up i use to write and record in my studio.
My aim
is to give you all a deeper understanding with as much enjoyment as is
physically and mentally possible using the three elements more frequently
missing from this music - the basis of all dance music : RHYTHM, MELODY
and BASS.
DJ KAOS
DJ Kaos
is an integral part of the Berlin underground scene, producing a variety
of twisted dance music for a number of years now. His first single was a
collaboration with Ash Ra Temples Manuel Goettsching (of E2-E4 fame.) The
12", made in 1991 when Kaos was part of downtempo scene leaders Terranova,
was called "Toyko Tower" He's performed all over the Globe, from Europe,
Japan to the US. He has released original music on such seminal dance
labels as Eskimo, Kitsune, Playhouse, as well as early singles for Rong
Music and now Rong/DFA. His remixes have proven in demand, remixing
everyone from !!! (Chk Chk Chk) to Roxy Music to the New Young Pony Club.
Kaos is a part of the exclusive K7 Records DJ Kicks mix series with his
eclectic mix released in 1995, as well as his full-length solo LP released
on K7 in 2005 featuring such vocal talents as Erlend عe, Matt Safer (the
Rapture) and Cpt. Comatose. He also participated in the Faith Records
"Collectors Series" with a mix CD entitled "Danse, Gravite Zero" created
with Sal Principiato of the legendary NYC group Liquid Liquid.

TAYO
Tayo is
a familiar face on the breaks scene where he can safely lay claim to
helping shape the nu skool sound in the late 90's alongside fellow
breaksters Adam Freeland and Rennie Pilgrem, who together promoted the
genre forming Friction parties at Bar Rhumba & The End.
After
mixing his first Y4K album in 2000 his profile soon exploded to a
worldwide audience. Not one to hang around, he quickly took things to the
next level, launching his own label Mob Records with the debut release
coming from long time friend and major breaks player Rennie Pilgrem with
the seminal Some Place Funky. Over the years Mob Records released original
music and remixes from artists including The Stanton Warriors, Lee Coombs,
Kevin Beber, JDS, Santos, Meat Katie, Klaus Hill and Krafty Kuts to name
but a few. To date Tayo has released four mix albums, and is the only
artist to release two Y4K albums for Distinctive.
Leaving
Mob Records behind in 2004 Tayo has continued to diversify. He ran the
Kiss100 Breakbeat Show for three years, ensuring it became an essential
stopover for any breaks and beats artist when in town. Artists as diverse
as MIA, Diplo, Rebel MC, and Smith & Mighty rubbed shoulders with the
cream of the breaks and dubstep scenes as the show became a celebration of
the syncopated sound. This did not go unnoticed at Radio One, who asked
Tayo to move to the station at the beginning of 2006 to become one of the
DJ's on The Residency, then In New DJs We Trust. Tayo has finished his run
as a new DJ, continuing on at the station where he is now the official
deputy for Annie Mac and Annie Nightingale. He has done two One World
specials for the station and will do an Essential mix at the end of
February 07.
On the
production tip Tayo has released records for Skint, Fat, Mantra Breaks,
Functional Breaks, Bassrock and Passenger and worked with Acid Rockers,
Freq Nasty, Care In The Community, Baobinga, Control Z and Sunz Of Mecha.
He has done a plethora of remixes including reworkings of Jaydee's
"Plastic Dreams" & Dave Clarke's "The Compass". With the completion of his
debut album of dubwise beats and electro breaks finally on the horizon,
Tayo is ready to make the same impact on your stereo as he can do on the
decks.
As a
DJ, Tayo has proved himself to be open minded with his musical taste and
determined to avoid the proverbial pigeonhole. Although happy to rock any
breakbeat dancefloor worldwide he also likes to indulge his wider musical
taste. He was co founder of, and one of the residents at Basement Jaxx's
seminal Rooty club night in south London, playing out every year on the
terrace at Space Ibiza with friend Frank Tope as the Rooty DJ's, and
rocking festivals from Homelands London to Creamfields Buenos Aires with
his house music hat on. More recently Fabric have given him scope to
indulge in another musical obsession with the Cool & Deadly parties, where
"the backbone is dub". Tayo will be taking this concept to some of the
biggest festivals in the UK throughout 2007. He is also responsible for
Tayo's Tracksuit Party, a celebration of the sports casual and the joy of
an old school two piece Adidas... Snowbombing for the last three years,
Notting Hill Carnival, Sheffield and Sydney are just some of the places
that have been turned into a scene from Beat Street for an evening or
two....
This musical diversity is best heard on his brand new mix CD, Fabric Live
32 which explores breaks, dubstep, baile funk, and electro in 70 minutes,
which will continue to define Tayo as a forward thinking DJ and producer
determined to rock more clubs throughout 2007.

TROUBLE & BASS
Trouble
happens every time the Brooklyn-based crew of Drop The Lime, AC Slater,
Star Eyes, and The Captain get together to throw their legendary parties.
Bass is everything, whether the backbone of releases on the Trouble & Bass
label or the driving force of their ballistic, sweat-inducing DJ sets: all
timeless rhythms, unforgettable melodies, and surprise after
speaker-quaking surprise. The crew presents the freshest in underground
low-end, mixing together bass-driven house with dubstep, grime, Bmore
club, hip-hop, Miami bass, and more. If you’ve been missing the raw energy
that made electronic music so exciting in the first place, this is where
it’s been hiding. Since Drop The Lime formed the Voltron-like crew three
years ago, they’ve already earned kudos from heavyweight DJs like Diplo,
Sinden, Moby, and A-Trak, unequivocal support from super-club Fabric
London, and big plays from BBC Radio One’s Rob Da Bank, Mary Anne Hobbs,
and Annie Mac. T&B Recordings (now on its eighteenth release) has been
voted one of the best up ‘n’ coming labels by XLR8R Magazine and F.A.C.T.
(UK) and has been featured worldwide in magazines like Serie B (Spain) and
Dazed & Confused (UK). Trouble & Bass are defining a new New York sound
and bringing it worldwide. During their two-week Euro tour, Star Eyes &
The Captain will be throwing down the T&B crew's trademark "heavy bass"
style
