Finally, what’s your studio like?
I am an Ableton and Reason guy only. I want to use Logic, but it’s super complicated. The manual is like a dictionary!

It´s time for the second part of the video from Club Der Visionäre starring Villalobos and friends. In this second part night becomes day and the party continues as the Berliners wake up and pass by the club.

A lot of people say that BPitch is turning into the techno genre´s Ed Banger Records. We leave that judgment to someone else.
We just know that we have had an eye on Zander VT since their first release back in 2006. It has been a bit silent around Zander VT since their last release - but [...]

Details of clothing, technology, music and other cultural references surface briefly like uncanny folklore as the film explores a culture of collective leisure and consumption.

March 10, 2009 – 21:11
It is easy for older generations, or people outside a certain type of popculture, to describe the importance of a certain type of movement. This fact sort of lies within the idea of a subculture it self. Everyone with some interest in techno know about Detroit and what big influence it has had on the [...]
