Playing at the unveiling of FEED tonight in Berlin-Neukölnn. Been working on this space for months, and it looks and feels great. Really excited to open it up to an audience! There’s an Ableton Live user group meeting 20:00–22:00, with Noah Pred and the heads of Manmade Mastering presenting, then we open with a nice bar and soundsystem (Funktion One!) and me & Peter Power manning the decks afterward. Come on by!

Gung Hay Fat Choy!
The elementary school I attended for nine years of my life was in downtown San Francisco, half a block from the Chinatown gates. Though we learned French and Catholicism in school, outside was Chinese candy and tradition. I can hear the sounds of the annual new year parade in my head now, as I sit in a most non-celebratory Berlin gray. Little red and gold envelopes making schoolchildren happy (and a tad bit richer), lanterns strung all about, loud drums and percussive crashes following elaborately decorated dragons, made lively by a team of insiders. Thinking on this now, it’s no wonder Chinatown made me happy when I was living in Buenos Aires. Familiarity is comforting — even when it’s foreign familiarity!
Anyway, I’m always up for a reason to celebrate, so happy Chinese new year!

I love that my job(s) expose me to so much tasty music. Today’s folky yum? Meet Tim Neuhaus & The Cabinet. The official video’s rad, too.

After I play Renate tonight (3-6), I’m playing this underground for a friend’s birthday in the old Stasi HQ. Bringing light to the dark, that’s your Q. :P  Info here.

New DJ mix! A recording of my set on the radio in Berlin this past weekend…

I kind of have a thing for the art of WWII propaganda posters. I ended up here on Wikipedia somehow tonight. There are a couple of good ones in this article!

Chocolate chunk cookies. I’ve had a real craving for proper chocolate chip cookies lately, and I tried out this recipe tonight. Winner!
