Fall guy

kolt orginal Seems like this fall will be a hot one: I finally turn 30 and seriously hope to grow up then. And since my birthday even is on a saturday I took the chance to invite all my friends and musical father-figures to rock the party at the Kolbhalle. The Phoneheads, The Green Man, J-Cut, Ames and Sektion Bewegtbild will provide some classic tunes & videos from the last 10 years.

One week later we start a new series of parties at the good ol’ Studio 674. For more than 60 years the friday was totally into Kompakt‘s hands and techno was the only sound allowed in those holy halls. But after a testrun this summer, we figured out how fat the soundsystem is and how well it plays our beloved basslines. Starting with the drum & bass bundesliga we will host parties with mostly german acts and try to put an end to the booking-cold-war that raged in the last years in Cologne. We will show you that it’s not always about the big names and we’ll continue to support the german scene as much as possible…

Weekend dark…

Without mentioning the not so good things (playing in an un-crowded club in Berlin on friday or stopping an open air party on saturday early because nobody found the location) I will focus on the positive things that happened 😉
Meeting MC Santana and his sweet family was a clear highlight. He played his soon-to-be-released album “Clockwork Dark” to me and I was really amazed. First I thought of dark terror-beats when I saw the cover, but once the record played, it all turned out PHAT! Downtempo Hip-Hop beats meet Santana’s great voice. Think of RJD2 meeting MC Dynamite… Hope I can link some snippets of his album soon, it should be out in august/september.

Please, spread the word!
(For non-germans: Beckmann is the worst sports-commentator ever heard on german TV. We havt to stop him from commenting the finals!)

WE IS DEUTSCHER MEISTER!

double j kolt siewerts Deutscher Drum & Bass Meister 20

OLEEE, OOOOOOOLEEEEEE, OLEEE, OOOOOOOLEEEEEE!
1. FCDNB KOMPRESSOR K√ñLN IS CHAMPION OF THE GERMAN DRUM & BASS BUNDESLIGA 2006!
MC DOUBLE J & KOLT SIEWERTS SWEPT WERDER BREMEN FROM THE FIELD & BROUGHT THE CUP TO COLOGNE!

Alright alright, ‘nough of the bold screaming, but I’m still high on adrenaline after the breathtaking final last night in Braunschweig…
Man, that was my first real DJ-battle ever and we just won the fuckin championchip! Dirk D. & MC Temper from FC Werder One Nation Bremen were real tough to crack, but in the end Double J & me definitively shot more goals than them and took home the cup.

I learned the rules for the final in my car, 1 1/2 hours before the show and was not quite prepared. I thought every team had 45mins to play their set, but President Lyde Buddah spontaneously changed the rules a bit. The timetable was:
1) DJ without MC: 25 minutes each
2) MC acapella: 1 minute each
3) DJ & MC together for 25 minutes.
After each round the crowd was asked to scream for the team who they thought were the best. We clearly won round 1 & 2, the decision in round 3 was not made because it was so close and we had won the championship anyway…

Now we have this pimpin big championchip cup and we are proud like oskar to have battled out all those strong teams. Biggup to all the crowd who supported us in Braunschweig and of course the dons Lyda Buddah and mystic Mystic Dan, who is one of the best german ragga / drum & bass MCs I know!
More pics & maybe my winning set soon…

Truckdriver Mix

After a long time of hard work on the road I finally found the time to finish a fresh drum & bass mix. It contains my favourite tracks from the last weeks and 2 exclusive, unreleased tunes that I produced together with Mr. Scheibenreiter and nasty J-Cut. Especially “flautas felizes” got some great feedback from the dancefloor massive, we hope to release it soon 😉

Now that the Scorpions tour is over I’m finally fed up with playing stupid chords in the far corner of the stage and I will now concentrate again on my turntable skills. Fuck that handmade music, I want a rinsin’ bass with propper beats!

Here you can download the mix in 192kbit quality:

Surprises & Expectations

The line of surprisingly great parties magically continues. In Münster (usually called “cop-town” because you can spend a night in jail there for walking over the red lights) the opening of Theresa Frölichs exhibition “Soul Surfer” escalated in joy without being shut down by the police: We’ve put the soundsystem in front of the venue and started a jumpup party right away. People were dancing right on the street, taxi drivers honked madly but the whole night not a single cop drove down that street and no neighbor called the police. That was some of those small miracles of which my favorite movie “Magnolia” is full of 😉

Jena unsurprisingly was one big blast. Hanging out with uncle real, the phoneheads, mischer, matik, chopper, angel dust, racoon, apo 33, politone, separat, amon, phowa, reef was like a big family meeting. The crowd was wicked and the top secret “Flautas Felizes” track by howie & chance passed the dancefloor test. I hope we will be back soon…

Deutscher Pressetext

Über die Jahre hat sich Kolt Siewerts seine Stellung in der rheinischen Drum & Bass-Szene mit Skills und guten Vibes erarbeitet. Seine 1998 gestarteten Wednesdaybreaks-Abende im Düsseldorfer Unique trugen nicht umsonst den Titel “Bolzplatz”: Fallrückzieher, Sonnenschein und Kopfballtor machen eben mehr Spaß als Donnerschlag, Schrottplatz und brennende Müllonnen. Fröhlich ohne cheesy zu sein, fett ohne Düsterkeit.

Mit extra Schoko – 11 / 2005

While visiting my record store every week has become some sort of routine, finding an “Artist unknown” label on a new record still makes me childishly exited. What if that would be a killer remix of “Dub be good to me” and not just another stupid bootleg?

kolt siewerts – 2004 driveby – january 05

instead of a normal playlist, here are some thoughts on my favorite tracks 2004. contact me for more details 😉

1) 0:00 – some crank future hip hop with one of my favorite rappers
2) 3:33 – finally a great tune after some years of boring stuff from these inventors of wall-of-sound-drum&bass
3) 5:20 – my master of trance & bass with a deep good looking release. never surrender!
4) 8:54 – this is the best ravetrack of 2004. massive respect to austria.
5) 13:51 – one of my favorite tracks from the 90s, finally ready for the next millenium.
6) 15:38 – one of those raggaerave tracks that appeared this year, fell in love with the sample…
7) 18:07 – a drum&bass pioneer who does some phat hip hop tracks worth mentioning
8) 20:05 – taken from my favorite lp this year, i like the human beatbox vocal 😉
9) 23:35 – i hate this 80s revival, but in this anthem it just works!
10) 27:08 – 90s revival, here we come.
11) 31:40 – my favorite bassline this year
12) 32:34 – 2 huge mc tracks battle for the crown, who wins? this one?
13) 37:45 – or this one? i think this one, because of the funny off-beat-singing.
14) 42:53 – best track 2004
15) 47:19 – a pioneer returns to his roots, i love it!
16) 51:17 – this is a little appetizer for a great album that will be out in february!
