miKi miKron

dear fans, friends, partners,
ladies, gentlemen,
eastcoast, westcoast, dirty south,
dear readers/listeners!

due to release of this ish hot record: miKi miKron - "irgendwo nur nicht hier" there will be a big party taking place at the golden pudel klub this sunday, april 30th. as you might know, real popstars don’t play live concerts [except doing one song playback sets at fun fairs, shopping malls or in a new york discotheque], but for this special occasion i’ll make an exception. ;-) my concert will begin at midnight [on time(!)], so you can bring your kids.

here’s 6 more reasons why this will be a massive event:

• dj patex is spinning.
• booty carrell is spinning.
• the haina [of salamandroids fame] is spinning.
• rüftata110 is spinning.
• superdefekt is spinning.
• it’s "dance into may" [oops].

earlier that day, i will perform live at the golden dudel funk hamburg fsk 93.0 fm between 6 and 10pm. the show is hosted by audiolith, the posse i’m a proud part of now. so, der tante renate, clickclickdecker, aosuke & manni fest will be there too.

thanks for your attention!
miKi

this muallem tune with beans is rotating in my itunes for quite a while now and i read some good things about muallems recent album "frankie splits", so i thought, i’d give it a try. in case you never heard of muallem, here’s what i found by famous/dubious google-journalism: muallem, that’s david muallem, not yinon muallem. he’s signed to compost and his first releases were a 12′’ titled “sweat / down 2004″ (2004) and another 12′’ titled “new thunder / b about it” in 2005. all of the above mentioned tracks you can find on muallems debut album. he also seems to be dj-ing under the alias “dj force” but here i quit my google-ing due to an information dead-end :-).
the guest/feature list on “frankie splits” is huge (amazon, lyrics born, martine girault, beans, the droids, shawn lee, wordsworth, audrey & marc frank) and so the record is packed with different styles and moods. muallem took his old ballsy emu-drumcomputer and blended acid house, typical hip hop (no gimmicks, no tricks) and giorgio moroder drumbeats with upliftingness, melancholia and some prince-esque vocal performances. such a lot in such a short time - but muallem keeps track of all that. his basis is hip hop. but he doesn’t think of hip hop as an isolated genre - cause he knows where it’s coming from. at his party you don’t have to listen to EITHER house OR hip hop OR disco. that’s, yep, much like the spirit of hip house. muallem is looking after this connection and is trying to re-establish it with a 2006 view. however, muallem’s album ain’t inventing music from scratch - it simply sounds like everything else, but in its very own and unique way. and that’s what i like about pop music.

suggestions for listening at itunes:
muallem feat. amazon - are you ready (turn off the lights)
muallem feat. beans - new thunder
muallem - shanti dance
muallem - down 2004
