for those who live in berlin or plan a visit:

i highly recommend to check out "der leiseste club der welt", a club/lounge event that takes place once a month on a sunday.

yesterday rene & pete (= scion) from hardwax played there along with paul st.hilaire, and as a bonus there was a gentleman who is said to own the biggest dub/reggae record collection in europe and who is a central figure in the basic channel label conglomerate ;)

it was not only the music but also the venue and the crowd that made this event so special. an old dark factory building near a river, a hall of concrete, bricks, steel, and old pipes. the room was equipped with warm lights, and was full of all kinds of comfortable chairs, sofas, armchairs, and even swings. looking through the windows you saw the neighbouring abandoned buildings, and -as a contrast- a nearby skyscraper behind them.

they played lots of burial mix, rhythm & sound, and main street records, with additional sound effects, and paul st.hilaire singing live; later they played pure original dub and reggae. music that just makes you happy. people enjoyed themselves very much, it was great to feel the enthusiasm.

i love berlin.
