Houses of Music

On a Wednesday in October

An added bonus of dj’ing is every once in a while you get to visit rather striking venues; personally the most impressive being the Rem Koolhaas / OMA designed Casa da Musica in Porto, pictured above, followed closely by Stalin’s present to the city of Warsaw, the Palace of Culture and Science.

From a less architectural point of view the winner of the joint category club / restaurant / gypsy camp / circus / theme park is (or was?) Bar 25 in Berlin. In addition to all the things mentioned Bar 25 is a record label releasing “minimal” house perfectly fitting the soundtrack of those Monday morning after hours. ‘Nur Mal Kurz’ by Nicone and Sascha Braemer was the bar’s anthem this past summer. Personally I never was that sure about the original or it’s potential to be played anywhere else than it’s home base (see the hallucinogenic video of it here). However Philip Bader’s remix did the trick. Below is a gentle re-edit of the remix with most of the direct vocal references to losing one’s mind at Bar 25 removed and the best parts extended. Enjoy. It’s like the summer never went away.

    Yeah, Casa da Música is a great building but what’s the point of playing in a venue that has no dancefloor feeling? I was there to see you guys and it wasn’t that much fun… I would prefer to listen to you guys dj in a garage than at Casa da Música. But hey, that’s just my opinion :)
    Hope you come back soon and play at a real CLUB!
    Cheers from Porto,
