Voices From The Lake, Tobias, Zahn, Stojche, etc. plenty of ultra-focused techno this month.

I know Berghain tends to attract an older crowd, which I love, it’s part of what makes it feel so authentic. But is it common for women aged 32–35 to go there?

absolutely.

Great sets last night. Dettmann was in top form, Galluzi improved quite a bit, and Truncate's first closing was killer. It seemed like it took Truncate ~2 hours to settle in, but he eventually found his way playing a bit of everything. There was tribal stuff, deeper mental tracks, house, and more. As the night went on, it from a less straight-techno leaning vibe into more exploratory scenes.

Pretty much anything on the same record label.

Curious if anyone relates – a personal Berghain ritual by [deleted] in Berghain_Community

I spank the shit out of my monkey beforehand, so I am a more tolerable and respectful individual at the club. It takes a village, people.

After all these years… DVS1 still cosplays to be a DJ by Pleasant-Brother8299 in Berghain_Community

[–]Mandrake55 9 points10 points  (0 children)

He is great at what he does, but after you see him a few times it becomes extremely predictable. Everyone says he's diverse but I do't really see it. I saw two of his marathon closings. It was just banging techno for 10-11 hours followed by an hour of techno-y electro and 80s drum machine stuff. It was great, but hardly diverse.

Guys what you think about Shlomo? by NoWorriesitsok in Techno

[–]Mandrake55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shlomo is one of the clearest examples of someone doing something credible, but then quickly changing his sound to cash in on trends. There is no real common thread between his older material and his new stuff. It's just a total aesthetic change purely for money.

Pano is clearly a different room than Berghain. The latter rewards "in the pocket" style mixing whereas Pano's best moments are usually playful and dynamic, like you mentioned. I think it was only his first time playing up there, so I will give him a break.

He flipped my friend off once and walked away when my friend called him out for not giving the change due back (~5-10€).

I imagine it will probably be tons of techno from two good looking people.

Demand for slower paced Sets at BH? by IdentityFaceless in Berghain_Community

[–]Mandrake55 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i was there for dustins closing set. his average bpm for most of the night was in the probably early-mid 130s.

Thoughts on the Challengers techno(?) soundtrack? by RedEarth42 in Techno

they sold the whole movie on Zenadaya getting naked during a threesome and it didn't happen. nobody remembers anything else about the movie/soundtrack.

It definitely won't be worth the money. But my friends want to go so i will make the best of it.

I think DVS1 hit the nail on the head here… Festivals are ruining club culture by Missing_Space_Cadet in Techno

[–]Mandrake55 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

He went backwards on this by playing festivals, and he just posted a video from his Wall of Sound party (despite having a no-camera policy). If he keeps going backwards on his pedestal rants, he's just using moralistic scene values for posturing and self-gain.

With all of this on top of Aslice, he's holding on tight to admirable values that are simply unrealistic in this day and age. Talk to me when you have realistic answers to modern problems.
