You were my hero when I was 11.
“Bad” was my first record on heavy rotation.
You made Billions of people happy, but it seems you never got enough love yourself.
Rest in Peace.

Now that’s a nice present from all you drum & bass heads! Thanks to your votes we won the future-music.net award for the best national release in 2009! I can’t believe we got more votes than Bassface Sascha, Phace, Syncopix or Polarity! But obviously you could share our vision of how a party drum & bass track should roll. Or in the words of Dogs on Acid’s khal:
“The two of these tunes are not your garden-variety Drum & Bass – these tracks take you back to the old school, where the doors of influence were wide open, and worn on our sleeves. When will more producers see that the beauty of Drum & Bass was when we explored outside of the scene, not regurgitating what’s already been done?”
Thanks again for all your support! And if you don’t have this record yet, you can get it on vinyl or mp3 at the santorin webshop.
Today is the big day. Santorin finally released our track. Buy the mp3 or the vinyl online or visit your local record store, distribution via Groove Attack and St Holdings just started.
The track will also be featured on the Knowledge Mag 103 Mix CD by The Green Man that will come out in October.
Thanks a lot for your demand for the track, without all your emails and comments we might haven never released it!
Also check out our Allstars-Joint at the Studio 672 on August 29th!
And we’ll have John B here on October 2nd 2008 😉 Check back soon for more info….
The wicked guys over at SANTORIN manged to clear the sample (Baiao destemperado by the Brazilian combo Barbatuques) and we are finally releasing our long awaited “FLUTE TUNE” in late june august 😉
For those of you who don’t know it yet, here’s a quick preview:

We had it on heavy rotation under some names, including “Flautas Felizes by Howie & Chance”, but now it will be officially labeled “J-Cut & Kolt Siewerts -The Flute Tune”.
Our release party will be on the 6. of June, so come play with us!
“Bei aktuellem Drum & Bass steht immer eine Musik im Vordergrund, darum ist Pendulum so big: das lauteste Element in ihren Tracks sind die Melodien. Darum gefällt mir, so seltsam das klingen mag, derzeit auch Jump Up am besten, denn dieser Sound ist noch real: über fetten Drums liegt eine Bassline, die zum Hauptelement wird und zugleich auch die Melodie transportiert.” via datenschmutz¬â€
After some confusion that caused a long summer-break, we are finally back with our monthly session. On the best soundsystem in town we bring you totally un-stiff party drum&bass every first friday of the month.
We restart with our favourite german jumpup hero DJ Connecta from Mannheim. So maybe the liquid heads and the neurodudes have to jump over their shadow, but the rest will totally rinse out 😉 Hope to see you there!
Biggup the magazine Massive for bringing together the german scene together again! Some years have passed since the first steps to establish a connection between all the different crews, producers and djs. The first meetings (Rotation in 99, broken beatz festival in 02, an Made in Germany in 03) all started promising, but now is the time to push things even further. The joint starts on June 2nd at Maria am Ostbahnhof / Berlin.
It’s been a busy winter, so no posts for a long time. But Mr. Matik from the lovely Subsonic Pressure Crew just sent me this video and woke me up from my blogsleep (hopefully). Although I don’t share the common Noisia hype (not enough soul for me ;)) this work is ingenious:
When somebody tells you how bad it feels to become 30, don’t believe it. Just invite your friends, throw in some music and dance all night long. This is what I did and I still can’t believe how great this night was.
Although the location was a little punked up in the daylight, as soon as it turned dark and the soundsystem started pumpin’, it was drum & bass heaven. I got the coolest presents (see the pictures to find some) and the DJs that supported me from Day 1 like the Phoneheads, The Green Man, J-Cut and Ames made the crowd scream for more. Simon V even brought me a Birthday Drum & Bass Track, I will upload it later…
So thanks to everybody who celebrated with us, I’m still smiling all day long because of this great night.

And here to listen to the sweet birthday anthem by Simon V…
Just a short reminder for all of you who don’t get our PLAY!-Spam:
My birthday-rinseout starts on 9.9.06 at 22h. Come to the Kolbhalle / Helmholtzstraße 8-32 in Köln Ehrenfeld and be prepared to get your ass kicked by my buddies Phoneheads, The Green Man, J-Cut, Ames & Sektion Bewegtbild! Plus we got the fattest soundsystem around (Meyersound from Lightwave / Overath) and besides some classic d&b tunes Mr. Scheibenreiter & J-Cut will also spin some deep Dubstep.
