MINI-INTERVIEW

What is the intention behind your set?
"This is my “I’m-done-with-Winter-and-all-I want-to-do-is-Rave-into-outer-space” Mix. I’d like everyone who listens to imagine us raving in a dark, smoky club, eyes closed, phone off, going wild. I’ve also recently really gotten into Juke by exploring the releases coming from the St. Petersburg based label ‘урбан’ and threw in a little Juke Chapter at the end of set."

How did you start DJing?
"Through the well-worn path of hanging around parties, meeting people who throw parties, seeing how much fun it is and wanting to help out and be a part of it. My first couple years in Berlin were a crash course in the party scene and it wasn't long until I wanted to bring my energy and attitude to the booth and see if it would connect with people. It’s been a wonderful, weird, crazy adventure since Day 1."

What can we expect from you in the near future?
"I’m very excited to be organizing a Techno Truck(s) for the International Women’s Day Demonstration in March 2022."

Inzwischen wisst ihr ja, was ihr jetzt nur noch tun müsst.

Vorfreude Podcast 2023 - DJ-Rom

Chris and Justus met in Berlin at the beginning of their DJ careers and shared their love for the city's club culture. Together, they decided to form a collective and bring their vision of the perfect party to life. In September 2018, they hosted their first event at the well-known Kaffee Burger club, founding @beschaeftigungstherapie [BSTHP]. Since then, they have organized many showcase events in well-known Berlin clubs like KitKat, Mensch Meier, Birgit&Bier and Polygon as well as hosted parties in unique underground locations. BSTHP mainly revolves around bringing friends and acquaintances together to shake off the everyday stress and enjoy the moment. Although the party family is getting bigger and bigger, the familiar atmosphere of the very first party remains the trademark of all parties.

Here follows a live recording of justUS B2B Chris Plettenberg from the "Station Endlos" in Halle. Have fun listening!

MINI INTERVIEW:

What was the intention behind your set?
"To showcase my productions and sound as an artist as this set is made primarily of my own productions."

How would you describe your approach to Social Media as an artist?
"I think over the years we’ve seen many formats of posts and how to increase engagement etc and I personally have seen that out of the many formats there are when it comes to a release and how to promote it. There are only a few ways that are optimal and I'm all for social media promotion. It allows us as artists to reach people we otherwise wouldnt and that’s incredibly valuable."

Who inspired you the most on your path as an artist?
"I would have to say artists such as Tale of Us, Fideles, Oliver Winters, Deadmau5 and artists alike."

We are happy to welcome @doubljuh for the next part of our spotlight series!

At the age of 14 the Doubljuh started to experiment with his first DJ setup until mixing music with vinyl became his second nature. His first attempts were characterized by Chicago House (Bad Boy Bill, Richard Humpty vission), Ghetto House/Booty House (Dj Funk, Dj Deeon) and especially Funky Disco House (Boogie Pimps, Armand van Helden, Bob Sinclar, Olav Basoski). Early on a varied House style with groovy melodies and catchy vocals arose. He impressed his audience first as a newcomer of the Tectrex Crew and performed as Resident DJ in the show „Rookie Freaks“ via the Tectrex Webstream. His opinion about electronic music fundamentally changed in summer 2013 after his visits to legendary festivals such as Fusion and Kazantip, which included a short performance. He got to know and love melodic Deep House, which strongly shaped his music style since that time. Now the familiar groovy House beats take turns with soft parts and enchant the audience with frisky melodies of the violin and the piano. This results in fresh sounds, which are still highly characterized by catchy vocals. In 2015, he founded the DJ collective "deep stories" together with Kork, which is very successful with its podcast series on Soundcloud thanks to its innovative concept. He is currently on the road in Hamburg and coclogne with the deep stories showcase.

MINI-INTERVIEW

What was the intention behind your set?
"My last gigs were often at night during prime time, so I tried to play harder melodic techno around 124 bpm. As I actually come from the downtempo / lower midtempo area, this was quite new territory for me. I realized that I feel comfortable at this speed, but that the deep and spherical still has a high priority for me, just like in my slower sets in the past. Nevertheless, I would like to capture this part of my process as a DJ in the form of a set and have packed the coolest songs for me from the gigs into this podcast. As I also associate this sound with "Dit Klingt Jut", it was a perfect fit for me. In the future, such bouncy songs will continue to appear in my sets, but in a balanced mix with melodic and deep pressing passages like my current favorite release from question 3 😉"

What was your most significant club / festival moment?
"As a consumer, I would definitely say the Kerala Dust gig at Acid Bogen at the end of 2017. I queued so long withg friends in the cold to see this concert. Of course, we didn't get in right then because there were too many people. But my best friend and I made another attempt after the others had left and went straight to the bouncer. She saw how much I wanted to see this concert and was kind enough to let us in. The atmosphere was absolutely amazing and at the end of the set, everyone in the Acid Bogen had a sparkler in their hand and sang along, which I don't think I'll ever forget.

As a DJ: My performance at the Zeitlos Festival, organized on a field in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern by friends from Hamburg. I got the sunset slot, my absolute favorite time. But it’s complicated when it rains all the time. During my set, however, the sun came out for the first time this weekend. And as ordered, the dark and light passages alternated simultaneously with these in my set. When 200 people danced the choreography of Iorie's "What is Downtempo" with me in the evening’s sun red light, I had a few tears in my eyes.
"

Favorite release at the moment & of all times?
"moment:
Caldera (Sam Welt Remix) - The Real Carter (this song makes me really look forward to summer and open air sets at sunset)

all times:
Kellerkind feat. Sven - Shakti Pan (Original Mix) (when I started playing at house parties in 2017, this song captivated me the most and was played in every set. I associate it with my first steps as a DJ and the times in my student flat in Moabit)"

In den vermeintlichen Safer Spaces der Leipziger Rave-Bubble erleben FLINT* sexualisierte Gewalt und andere extreme Grenzüberschreitungen. Zwölf von ihnen haben ihre Erfahrungen für diese Recherche geteilt. Die Täter sind in der Szene beliebt und gut vernetzt: Sie legen in Clubs und Off-Locations auf, partizipieren in Kollektiven, veranstalten Open Airs, hosten Raves in Clubs und sind fester Teil der Leipziger Clubkultur. Nicht nur sie üben patriarchale Gewalt aus – es sind auch die Mittäter*innen in den Kollektiven und Freund*innenkreisen der Täter, die über Übergriffe schweigen, sie verharmlosen oder Betroffenen die Schuld geben. 
Was muss sich ändern, damit Betroffene sich empowert statt machtlos fühlen und Täter nicht länger ungehindert in der Clubkultur partizipieren können? Wie können Veranstalter*innen Betroffene unterstützen? Was können wir alle tun, um unsere clubkulturellen Räume für FLINT* sicherer zu machen?

The art of music has touched the hearts of human beings around the planet for thousands of years. It's a universal language with the ability to express what can't be expressed through words or thought. It can induce strong emotions, alter our states of consciousness and let us experience reality in a different way. It can draw us into the present moment, where just the music exists - unfolding through time, moment by moment. When we let go and merge into the auditory sensations, it takes us on an inner journey. Using this not to escape, but to fully embrace reality as it is, music can help us release tensions and bring balance to our everyday life. 
Especially dance music allows us to unify with the flow of the music. When we express the energy it releases within us, by just giving ourselves to it and following the spontaneous and authentic movements of our bodies, we can experience a state of connection, peace and joy. Doing this collectively, synchronously moving to the same rhythm and sharing this special experience, we feel a connection that resonates within.

With DIT KLINGT JUT we want to express our love for music and manifest the meaning it can have for all of us. We do this by providing a thoughtfully curated space for artists and labels to share their music, organizing events & live-streams and serving as a platform to share ideas on music and the creative process.
