Last thursday we went to the Secret Wars Euro League between Hamburg and Cardiff at Waagenbau in Hamburg. Two teams, two walls and a bunch of markers. 2 jury-members with one vote each and one vote by the audience. Most votes win. Even though it was really hot outside, a lot of people came to see the battle and we had a really fun evening. I think the video speaks for itself.

Here come some moving pictures of the Labskaus-Pre-Party last saturday. If there wouldn’t have been so much beer involved, we would have had a more steady cam I guess. Next time.

This is one of the reasons we like living in Hamburg so much. A great outdoor party on a boat on a warm summer evening with a bunch of soulmates and listening and dancing to good music. Mad Max and Bruder Gal, boah it’s been a while since I saw you both on stage! Hands up! We all liked it!
Every year the “HAW Hamburg” shows what the students have produced in a final exibition. We saw some really talented people and I was impressed by all the creative work. If you are in Hamburg, make sure that you don’t miss it. Today the fashion design students show their stuff as well. The show details are on the website.
Ok ok, it was Nas and Damian Marley but Nas was my first love… Our love was a bit, let’s say colder the last couple of years since he missed showing up at the Splash Festival a few years ago. So I thought our love is over until he came up with his new album with Damian Marley that Philipp is always listening to. So we joined the nice concert yesterday! NAS I LOVE YOU!
I finally managed to get my good old friend Dako in front of the camera. With Out For Fame, he still keeps doing his stuff organizing the concerts with people you’ve always wanted to see as a mid-nineties rap-head.

Now we have been in Hamburg a few days and yesterday we went to our first concert in quite a while, Dead Prez at Waagenbau. The place was crowded and the crowd crazy as hell. It felt a bit like standing in a finish sauna with sweat dripping from the roof. It’s bigger than…

After picking up my diploma at Berghs SoC including the the last dinner with my fellow students, we met up with Rahel and Eric at Galleri Kleerup to see the Delta Exhibition. Funny how history can bring people back together again. Rap verbindet! Ne Anna!? Cold beer and great graphics before we went on to Strand for a few more. Always fun to see how different clubnights can be. Or have you ever seen people play ping-pong aka “Rundlauf” in a club? Still have to smile when I think about it…
Philipp
ps. Sind wir nicht alle ein bisschen Rap?
We were out having a few beers at Caliroots. Shitxfaced launched a new colorway of their decks and celebrated it with a photo-exhibition with photos of Fredrik Skogkvist following the crew for 24 hours. Thanks for a nice evening and a slight hangover!

One of the nicest stores in Hamburg “Yeahboy” is coming with a secret event on the 22.05.2010 with a unique secret location. So better don’t miss it! All you need to do is to register yourself on the “www.hustle4society.com“. Have fun! We would definitely go if we could!
I can’t really say how many beers and jägermeisters were involved in this evening, but what I can say is: If you would see all the pictures you would recognize that everyone makes the same face over and over again.
Last week we were at the Jedi Mind Tricks concert at Debaser Medis right around the corner of our “new” home on Södermalm. Luckily RA the Rugged Man was featured so it was well worth a visit. Since we were there mostly to see him perform, we didn’t get that many pics on the Jedi Minds, sorry! The place was really crowded and it was good to see some things are still alive, even this far up north. But please dear Swedes: Please learn how to handle the alcohol. Y’all drink one beer and get really nuts… Prost,
Philipp
“Saga Lova” had a photo exhibition yesterday and a little movie was shown. Both are showing the new A/W collection 2010-2011. I’m wondering if the little movie is online somewhere, it would be nice to see it again.
Here comes the first part of our video diary from our Hamburg trip. It feels good to be home! Nothing has changed on the Kiez. And by the way: If you wonder about the Mickey Mouse voice at some places in the video, it is Sevda not being able to be quiet!
It feels like we have never been away. Yesterday we had a tuff program! After a flight from Stockholm to Hamburg at noon, a great christmas dinner at “Öz Antep” we first went to Mirko Machine‘s aka Santa’s “Flavour of the Month” at Grüner Jäger. Later we dropped in at Buzz-T‘s and Mixwell‘s Jeudi-Party at Baalsaal. Thanks for great sounds, a lot of headbangin’ and plenty of drinks! A bit hungover we went to the movies today and watched “Avatar” in 3D. Awesome! Go and see the movie if you can! Another tip is “Where the wild things are” that we watched a few days ago. Two really great movies that definitely are worth watching in the cinema. Now some sofa-time and a nice glass of red wine.
Yesterday we were at our first rap concert here in Stockholm at Ljunggren! With a line-up consisting of Masta Ace, Edo G and last but not least Akrobatik, it was close to the best start we could have. Thank you guys for a great show and a lot of songs bringing that good spirit to Stockholm. Here are some impressions from the evening. My head still hurts, there is something strange with that swedish beer…
Yesterday, Philipp and I were at the “Glacéau Vitaminwater Launch Party” with “The Misshapes“. It was not allowed to take photos inside the location. I think it was because some “real” swedish celebrities were at the party But since we don’t know them we can’t tell you who was there But all the other bloggers where there. Some outlaws took some pictures so if you wanna see what was up there, have a look at “Rodeo“, “People” and “StockholmStreetStyle“. We just took some boring photos with the Photoautomat at the Party
… but you haven’t been been so nice to me until now, Hamburg! Since we are living in Stockholm, I notice more and more what a cool place Germany is. It was a slow process but people from all over the world like you more and more. In Stockholm you see people with “PLUS-Jutebeutel”, “Atomkraft Nein Danke-Button” and “Tokio Hotel-Shirt”. “Tokio Hotel“, like them or not, but they represent a whole generation from all over the world. Almost like “The Who” or “The Beatles“. Hey, that’s not so bad for a band from the middle of nowhere in eastern Germany! Germany is cool and got it’s own style. It doesn’t matter if you are rich or not, it’s more about creativity and who you are. It’s nice to walk through the streets and see so many different things living in symbiosis. I like it and I miss it! People from Germany, don’t be so absolute and do not say: Deutschland is ja voll scheisse (Germany is totaly weak), because that is not true! Germany, you have style, more than you think! And my personal tribute to the person who did the “Welt Kompakt” campaign. Love it!
Aber über die Sache mit Guido Westerwelle müssen wir aber noch mal sprechen…
Hip-Hop is so uncool, especially the German one. Electronica forever! Fuck it! You always got to filter the good from the bad! So why be lazy these days? There is still a lot of good stuff out there. Like the king of rap Kool Savas I’m still “auf dem Rapfilm hängengeblieben”. Check the video here. We were at the Übel & Gefährlich. The Astra was great, concert dope and we met a lot of old nice friends as well as some other funky dudes. Thanks for a great evening Hamburg!
In one of the “Monki Stores” was a little party yesterday. They showed a few of their new dresses for the upcoming party season. If you are wondering about the woman on the first picture and you are thinking: Hm, I know her in a way. It’s “Eleonre from Ytligheter” who is working at “Monki. Make sure that you don’t miss the Monki & Weekday Opening Party in Hamburg on the 6th November, because it’s nice to meet people in this way.
Yesterday, “Lynn“, Philipp and I were at the “Weekday – Stine Goya Release Party“. It’s really strange to go to these kind of partys. It’s like walking through the internet, because you see all the bloggers that you that know from their blogs. So you are standing there and next to you is sitting, let’s say “The Kid from Rodeo“. I really love her pictures and it’s one of my favorite blogs. You see Daniel and Caroline of “StockholmStreetStyle” at work and there is “Filippa” crossing you. Funny. The list would be to long to write everyone. Just check your reader to see who also was there. By the way, I like the “Stine Goya for Weekday Collection.
Stockholm people don’t forget: this weekend will be “STHLM FASHION MARKET“. More than 80 Brands will sell their stuff for 50%-90% less than normal. On more than 2200 qm you will find Brands like: Filippa K, Camilla Norrback, Fräulein Von Hast, Noir Et Blanc, Ida Pyk, Garde-Robe and Ulrika Sandström. Have a look at their website for the hole brandlist. If you are living somewhere else just book a flight to Stockholm Vi ses.
Don’t miss the book release and exebition of “Blütezeit – Prime time of my life” at the “mono concept.store“. “Nils Müller” is one of the best Graffiti Life Action photographer and he will show some of his picture which he did as he was travelling through europe. The vernissage will be on the 17. September 2009 at 19.00. “After-Show-Party” will be at the Bernsteinbar at 00:00.
Yesterday Laura and I went to the Opening Party of the “Creators Inn by Elvine“. Elvine” decided to offer a free short-term accommodation to give creative people the chance to visit Stockholm. In the heart of Södermalm at the “Scanic Malmen” they built up a hotel in hotel. Musicians have the possibility to records something during there stay with the equipment they in there. So if you are a creative one, try to get a night there. You will definitely enjoy your time at the room.
Swedish people knows how to make a good magazines. My favorite one is a free magazine called “people“. Yesterday was a launch party of the new issue. You can check it out online at the “people website“.
(Shoes – Dr. Martens, Socks – H&M, Leggi – H&M, Shorts – Weekday, Top – C.W for Weekday, Blazer – H&M, Scarf – Monki)
We had a really nice start at the “Popaganda” yesterday, even though Philipp did not feel so good. Everyone is kind of sick in Stockholm right now, so we didn’t stay that long. The “Lykkle Li” show was really fantastic and “Steve Aoki” rocked the crowd from the first second of his set. I didn’t know that “Lykkle Li” is that famous in sweden. But we noticed a few funny things for “continental-europeans”
Don’t get that wrong, cause we like to live here but we have to write it down
Everything needs a line. No matter what, get a number and wait. That was the first thing I learned in sweden. Be patient. For a festival that means:
a really long line for the toilett, I mean a really long line, maybe about 150 meters.
For the beer there was also a line with a line barrier like at the airport.
You can pay your beer with a creditcard
You have to show your ID to get in the beerarea. Yeah, right! There is a special area for people over 18 and only there it is allowed to drink alcohol and the line was really long to get in.
It was also a line for taking pictures even when you had a photopass
In the middle of the festival area there was one little smoking area
The backstage area was really empty. A couple of years ago I worked with some swedish artists and they were wondering why there were so many people at the backstage area at the festivals where we were. Hihi, now I know the reason. There was really nobody there. Funny, because I had the best parties in my life at the backstage area of so many festivals.
There were a lot of people with a coffee-backpack, like the backpacks with beer and other hard alk
But we also liked a few things:
A good point is, in Sweden I’m not the oldest person at the parties. There are a lot mid 30ties
The festival is really clean
Everyone had a really nice time
It was really in the middle of the city and good to reach
I think no ambulance is needed, because no stress
No police, just a few security people
The sound was great and the lightshow was fantastic
And hi, my meal was not like a festival meal!!!!!!! Good tasting indian food. Thanks Olle for the tipp.
Festivalseason is starting for us . We will be at the “Popaganda” in Stockholm this weekend. A bit late but better then nothing. I’m a bit excited about my first swedish festival, because I don’t know so many swedish artitsts. Of course I know “Lykke Li“, “MGMT” and yeah I’m happy to the the show of “Steve Aoki“. Hopefully the weather will be fine.
Swedish people know how to deal it! Whenever something is going on there is an event. We also had been at the “Mishka instore release at Monkey Bizz“. Philipp found this “Mishka” shirt in a bright colorway. It’s not black and I think I need one of those pillows.
We were on the release party of the “Weekday Socks” yesterday. The locations was really nice and the people there had such a good time. We came home with some really colorful socks My favorite were the orange/pink ones and Philipp took the yellow ones.
EDIT: See more pictures on the weekday website or People Magazine
We now got ourselves a new home! The best thing is we have a elevator. Yeah! But Philipp told me that most of the houses have one. Surrounded by water on little island waiting for Buzz-T and his girlfriend to hit the road for the first time.
Yesterday a good old friend of mine threw a concert at the Fundbureau in Hamburg with one of my alltime favorite rap-duos EPMD. Performing classics like “Rugged’N Raw“, “You Gots To Chill“, “So Whatcha Sayin“, “Music” and many many more, they delivered one hell of a show!!! So if you’re near Cologne today, be sure you don’t miss the show in the Essigfabrik tonight!
We had a fun time with Q at the Ghostface Killer, Dilated People and J. Rawls concert at the “Übel & Gefährlich”, yesterday. Wow it was sooo rap. It has been a long time since we last were on a concert like that. After the concert we went to “Grüner Jäger” to “Flavor of the Month“. Crowed as usual!
On Saturday as we went out of our door we saw “Afrikan Boy” from London. He wore a crazy combi We didn’t take a picture… shame on us. But we did take a few pictures at his powerful show, where we met an old friend “Zohra” who was there with the Senegalese photographer Mamadou Gomis. Check her blog the next days for more pictures.
We had a really nice evening at the Waagenbau, full of good music, a warm vibe and the suprise guest “Samy Deluxe”. Reminded me of the good old time at the Schlachthof.
Thank you for this nice event Miss Marx, Nathalie Tineo, Phantom Black, Mounir and Hanife!
