What are important to this work are the contributions and influence of nightlife subculture to greater New York City history through fashion, music, and art. I intend to prove that, in combination with the city’s gradual revanchism of neighborhood properties, the self-destructive nature of this after-hours sector has led to its own demise.

  • A Chat with the DJ - Apostille
    [email protected] A Chat with the DJ - Apostille MB.. You Have very kindly agreed to do a mix for the podcast but I feel its always good for listeners to get to know you a little with a 5 step Q & A.. So we know that you play the deep, melodic and progressive style but when did you start to DJ and what made you take the step from punter to player ?? (as in the DJ kind) Apostille: My first ever visit to a nightclub was to see Paul Oakenfold at The Warehouse in April 1996. I was 16. My mum gave me and three mates a lift to the club and we were listening to Radio 1 in the car. Pete Tong played his essential new tune – it was Born Slippy. We get in and guess what, four hours later Oakey drops Born Slippy at prime time to a rammed club. Blew my mind. That was the moment I wanted to do be a DJ. My parents bought me some sketchy belt drive turntables for Christmas in 1996. By the end of 1997 I was playing small venues locally. That year I saw Sasha and Digweed touring Northern Exposure. I knew I liked that melodic genre, but when Paul Van Dyk came to town with his acid infused progressive trance I was all in on that sound. He drifted away from that sound actually and went more mainstream trance. I have never forgiven him! MB.. If you can share one musical memory with us, as a DJ or punter, which has lodged itself in the memory bank, what is it?? Apostille: For starters I have definitely had more fun as a punter than a DJ.

  • The MFS Trip Into the History of Trance!
    The MFS Trip into the History of Trance! Bittles‘ Magazine | Album Review Before the term Trance became something to be pitied, hated and despised as well as the dominant force in dance music it was seen as a creative revelation that brought the emotion back to House. The adrenaline- fuelled head-rush of rave was coming to an end, hardcore had become just too hard and the club kids were craving something new with which to get their chemical kicks. By JOHN BITTLES Trance came at just the right time to reinvigorate a dance music scene that had somehow managed to crawl up its own K-hole. This new style of music added a much needed melodic flavour to its processed beats. When combined with an almost religious spirituality that was perfect for ecstasy consumption and the hugging of complete strangers everywhere it was no surprise when it exploded the way it did. One of the very first proponents of this new sound was Berlin-based record label MFS! Masterminded For Success was formed in 1990 as a way to tap into the burgeoning electronic scene by East German label Deutsche Schallplatten Berlin. When the parent company folded a mere three years later Mark Reeder and Torsten Jurk didn’t lie down and cry. No, they very wisely took out a loan and did everything possible to ensure that the label they loved didn’t meet a premature end. All of which brings us to the rather fab X-Mix 1: The MFS Trip; a label compilation released in 1993 created to soundtrack the first in a series of computer graphic videos by video label K7.

    SCHALLMAUER UND PROJEKTIONSFLÄCHE – Musikvideos von beiden Seiten der Mauer Quartett im Bett (Ausschnitt) BRD 1968 Regie: Ulrich Schamoni Interpret: Insterburg & Co. Song: Der müde Cowboy (Django) von Peter Ehlebracht s/w Länge (Ausschnitt) 3 min Ursprungsmaterial: 35mm Film Grenzgebiet-Drehorte: Waldemarstraße/Luckauer Straße, Leuschnerdamm (alle Kreuzberg) An einem Abschnitt der dritten Mauergeneration (gebaut ab der zweiten Hälfte der 1960er Jahre in Plattenbauweise) in Kreuzberg singt die West Berliner Gruppe Insterburg & Co., die Popsongs mit Comedy verbanden und zu deren Mitglieder auch der später als TV-Star bekannte Karl Dall zählte, den Song“ Der müde Cowboy“, zu Pferd und Esel entlang der Mauer reitend. Die Sequenz ist eine von mehreren in sich abgeschlossenen Musiknummern im abendfüllenden Spielfilm Quartett im Bett von Ulrich Schamoni. Der Film ist eine Abfolge von weitestgehend improvisierten Sketchen und Songs mit Insterburg & Co. und der weiblichen Gesangsformation Jacob Sisters, die ursprünglich aus Sachsen stammten, dann 1958 in die BRD übergesiedelt sind. Der an weiteren West Berliner Wahrzeichen wie Rathaus Schöneberg (damals Sitz der West Berliner Landesregierung), Kurfürstendamm, Flughafen Tegel sowie im “alternativen” Kreuzberg, in dem die Hauptfiguren leben, gedrehte Film wurde weitestgehend improvisiert. Das war möglich, weil damals Drehgenehmigungen schnell erteilt wurden. In West Berlin war es kein Problem, an der Mauer zu drehen – in Ost Berlin dagegen wäre das nicht möglich © 2020 filmokratie SCHALLMAUER UND PROJEKTIONSFLÄCHE – Musikvideos von beiden Seiten der Mauer Quartett im Bett (Ausschnitt) gewesen. Die Szene an der Grenze wurde, obwohl der Mauerbau erst sieben Jahre zurücklag und noch für die West Berliner Bevölkerung ein Trauma darstellte, nicht weiter in der zeitgenössischen Berichterstattung über den Film kommentiert.
