Southern Outpost

It’s common knowledge that Berlin has gone minimal crazy, but being a city seemingly rich in musical expression, are there any established or underground electro parties/clubs/events happening at the moment?

Would be interested in doing a SO night/showcase/launch in early September. If anyone has any suggestions or contacts, please pass them along!

Just got back from the Detroit Electronic Music Fest, a three day festival for, well you can guess the rest.

The highlights for me were finally getting to see Rhythm & Sound live w/ Willi Williams, Lloyd Barnes aka
Bullwackie and Milton Henry. These guys threw down 6 hours worth of dub and raggae on the most amazing sound system I’ve heard.

The other highlight was Model 500 closing out the night on Sunday night… They played all the classics, new and old from both Model 500 and Cybotron. It was amazing to see Juan and the UR crew dropping these bombs to the home crowd. Also, a special appearance of Detroit’s best Jit crew, the X-Men added to the experience.

Other notable mentions of the festival were Monolake, Octave One, Aux 88, Shake and Kenny Larkin.

The Cybernetic Broadcasting System almost died yesterday. It’s basically run free of charge by one incredibly dedicated guy - Ferenc (If for the electro spotters). Ferenc has pretty much dedicated the last four years to this station and things have to the crunch.

It’s costing him 500 euros a month to keep the CBS online, advertising doesn’t make up for that, so you know where the rest comes from…

CBS is back up temporarily, just as long as it stays self funded. So if you are a regular listener, even a new listener and appreciate what he’s doing, please donate to the CBS!
