11schnull is pronounced “eins-eins-schnull.” This plain, language-based info might seem a bit trivial first. It’s a side note that shouldn’t be skipped though, as it’s important for understanding A. the headline of this story and B. where 11schnull is drawing his creative energy from. Described in his own words, 11schnull “sounds a bit like 1-1-0, which is the phone number of German police, but way more stupid.” call 11schnull

When it comes to digging new music, Crusat’s approach is all about finding fresh and challenging tunes. What maybe doesn’t sound too surprising is gonna make a lot of sense when checking out her mix for TISSUE. A few minutes should be enough and you’ll know what the two terms fresh and challenging really mean. accept challenge
If you cross your index finger and your thumb lightly, it creates a tiny little heart. “I C U (In My Dreams)” is the debut single of €uro€y€z produced by her brother Noah Jinu. Longing, dreams, and crushes haunting in a pink cloud of bling bling, in between white sheets and shimmering night sequences. let me see
A truthful drifter who rolls back into town carrying an ASR-10, stacks of cracked beat tapes, and an angry old man’s record collection is the perfect way to describe the SAV Navarone. An army brat born in DC but with a gravitational pull to Tucson throughout most of his formative years. He had started making tapes in high school. After his 21st birthday his output increased and tapes began to pile up as music took over his life. 1998 was the year he bought his first sampler at a thrift store. The kitchen became the studio, because the need to create surpassed the need for a stove. Hungry?

The power of music compilations has been underrated ever since. No matter if CD or vinyl, digging out the right one at the right time can make for a game-changing momentum in potentially every DJ’s path. That case also applies to DJ Kobex, who dug out “Egypt, Egypt” by Egyptian Lover on a comp. The track, that first came out on Freak Beat Records in 1984, is one of these key tunes that shaped the style DJ Kobex adores more than every other genre: 80s electro funk. really?!
