Ausklang 2010

Wow, this first half of 2010 really was an intensive time. We’ve thrown a few fantastic parties, had two great label premieres with Mayhem and Moi, Toi et le Roi, featured two articles in 20 Minuten, got the up-and-coming DJs Eric Fox, Roca and the DEVICE crew on board, played with Ed Banger, Coco Machete, Drop da Bomb, Ghetto Hype and many others and got to know so many nice and fresh people. We’re certainly psyched about the past few months. Here’s a big up for all of you who supported us in any way!

Don’t worry, it’s not over yet – we’re already racking our brains for the next things to come. Here’s what’s up for the last days this season:

  • On May 12 we’ll play with Carte Blanche (DJ Mehdi + Riton, Ed Banger) at Hive in Zurich
  • Kavinsky (Record Makers) and DJ Feadz (Ed Banger) will rock the X-Tra in Zurich with us on May 23
  • And last but not least: We’re throwing our first Season End Party on June 5 at Nordstern in Basel: For AUSKLANG we’ve invited DJ legends VNNR from Belgium and DiscoD from Zurich to celebrate the ending of a wonderful season and get ready for the summer. More details on AUSKLANG coming soon!

And of course we are going to host a few nifty open air parties during the summer – but that’s future talk ; )
The DJs and VJs will use the summer break to max out their creativity and you can count with some exciting things coming next season for sure.
And don’t forget to visit this blog during the silly season, we’ll have you entertained.

Party on, see you soon!

This was Moi, Toi et le Roi

Dear party people

I feel honored writing this article. And no, that’s not just another flowery phrase. I’m really, really happy that our premiere of Moi, Toi et Le Roi was such a success. We honestly didn’t even plan to break even this time, it was meant as a gift to the scene – and the present has been thankfully embraced.
We’d like to thank all you for making this unbelievable night possible – and kindly ask you to drop us a line if there was anything you didn’t like.
And there’s also a big thank you left for R3SET and STU who played two amazing live sets, the Electric Zombies who succeeded in rocking the lounge floor and of course to our bombastic residents FRQNCY and DEVICE. Last but not least, we’d like to thank B-Movie Diskomurder for trying everything to be at our party – unfortunately he couldn’t play his set because of the volcanic ashes, but we’re sure he’ll do us the honor at a future event.

We’ve prepared a few pictures from last Saturday and will upload them to Facebook in a few days, so you can tag the hell out of them. Big props to Smizzo for the photos!

Again: Thanks a lot for this great night and see you on June 5 at the next MAYHEM!

So, we guess it’s our turn now..

It all started with three friends from basel who discovered their common passion for electronic music and were driven by the incentive to deliver the tracks they liked in a first-hand professional manner directly to your ears and nervous systems – nothing more, nothing less. DEVICE is what emerged out of this simple idea. Our goal is to share our love for music and entertainment with you. We see ourselves as the connecting link and trigger of emotions. The belief that our tastes enable us to provide you with pleasure, enjoyment and parties which will burn into your memories drives us.

DEVICE stands for Dynamic and Energetic music which is Versatile and Inspiring and is provided and performed by three Creative and Enthusiastic guys from Basel (Switzerland).

We would be honoured to convince you that we are the DEVICE you have been waiting for.

Do the math and enjoy our first (exclusive) DKDNZ Mixtape  called “we are…”.

we are…

01. LBCK – Start

Although you might think so, this post is absolutely not about telling you that I’ve stolen my name from a popular track (since even if it inspired me, it would have had to be subconsciously and somehow forward in time). No, this post is about saying hello and tell you the 5 most important things about me:

  1. I’m one part of Monkey Business, the more-than-famous VJ team
  2. I organize and host parties. Recently “Der Zoo + Die Party” in Zürich, for example
  3. I love everything shiny and nice-looking, especially if it’s interacting in some way
  4. I therefore like to create things that are shiny and look nice, preferably (inter-)active things
  5. I will mainly post about art, nightlife and trends. Be prepared.

And to not have you bored just for the sake of boredom, here’s a funky track by Belgian DJ Twist It. You can listen to and download it in a full 320 kbit/s quality – which will be the standard for music files on this blog, by the way.

Twist It – Funky Monkey

But first check out the video to the track, made by Brussels-based Narco Media Vision – a consortium of 3 artists who, amongst other things, do live streams of parties on their site NarcoTV.

See you around – and don’t forget to subscribe to our feed, fan us on Facebook or set DKDNZ as your home page.

Cheers,

Funky Monkey

We are the good guys, doing anything for the perfect party (because we all wear glasses and didn’t get any chicks’ attention in school).
We are DJs, VJs, szenis, n3rds, trend whores, “artists”, torcis friends, students, neighbours, hippsters – sometimes, club goers, m-appy bitches, ravers, drinkers, smokers, straight edges, chatroulette wankas, loch ness residents, apple and crack junkies.
We are edgy, smokey, fat and ugly, mostly beautiful though but greasy, needy and therefore open-minded, nachtaktiv, thoughtless, electronic, verstrahlt, philosophical, well-educated, rich and homeless, chauvinistic, sophisticated, popular, pretentious, minimal, happy, masochistic and dkdnt.

We are FRQNCY, Monkey Business, DEVICE, Smashup Bros and a bunch of event managers and generally good guys.
And this is what this blog’s all about:
Music you like, places you’ll go, things you adore – in short: randomly organized awesomeness.
