It was a BLAST! We've been around this festival for the better part of twenty years now and this has been a very moving one. Thanks to the amazing crew that made it happen in very challenging circumstances. 

And most of all, for all the fun in all those years - THANK YOU, ANDRÉ!
I hope you could hear us play wherever you are now.

Nation of Gondwana - Kranich/Crane 2021

We haven't posted any recordings for a while. All the more this is a special one - a Sportbrigade Sparwasser type farewell to another one of the mainstays of Berlin underground to fall prey to senseless real-estate excesses. 
Thx again for all the sunny afternoons spent in the dark with sweat dripping off the ceiling, https://soundcloud.com/schiffbruch-berlin!

10 Jahre Schiffbruch - Good bye my bay...

After we faced some technical issues as well as an acute fit of drowsiness on New Year's Eve, here it finally comes: our initial 2022 soundtrack!
Thanx royale to Maria from FoulDeerInc for the pics... :)

When we heard that we were to play the opening set on Wiese main floor at Nation of Gondwana 2023 (the 29th issue of this mainstay of Open Air culture, btw) we were unsure what to make of it. Surprisingly it worked out quite well. Hugz to our steadfast fanbase still turning up in numbers after 22 years! More thanks the red hot ´n hungry festival crowd who made it such a blast and the marvellous NoG Team still making it happen. Punks not dead! [deep Kotau]

At times the fact that DJs play other peoples´ music tends to fade into the background somewhat. Time to pay them hommage!

In the course of more than 15 years we have encountered a bunch of impressive artists.

It was and still is their music that has made our sets what they are. Some of them came to play at one or the other of our annual GRAND SPORTFEST events in Berlin.

Some musical connections have even evolved into long-standing friendships.
So the idea of kinking up with these special colleagues to create a compilation came easy and a while ago. And much later, finally here it is!

Eleven of our most cherished guest artists have contributed their own tracks to create this showcase.

We´re proud and grateful to be able to present the work of our friends and colleagues in this release!

Oliver Huntemann - Trick 17

Schlepp Geist - Sverige

Distale - Holdup

Acid Pauli - Optobubble

Sportbrigade Sparwasser in a laid back mo(o)d(e)... It was fun playing in the garden of our favourite backyard. Thanks to the sun for rising to the occasion and drying the otherwise drenched audience ;).

Sunday afternoon the Sportbrigade way... ! Huge Thx to our booking ladies from Quality Time for the time well spent and even more for all that support!

Quality Time Garden Tent Frenzy 10/19

Marie and I are raptured to finally announce on Liberation Day the release of our martial arts saga "Siu Nam Tao" on Herz&Leber`s Lebertape#7 (heart and liver for non German speakers who care to differentiate between the two)!

Listen to the plethora of tracks on Lebertape#7 here:
https://soundcloud.com/herzundleber/sets/lebertape-7

The track was and still is inspired by the Shaolin tale of a young Chinese woman desperately trying to fend off the perspective of forced marriage to a wealthy warrior. In her dire predicament she dares him to a fight in one year's time, provided she'll walk free if she prevails. Confronted with the prospect of fighting a superior enemy, the tale´s hero encounters an old woman well versed in Shaolin Kung Fu. She is taught Siu Nam Tao, or the art of turning your adversary's strength against him....
Danke an Herz&Leber Berlin, Copilco Productions für das gewohnt stabile Mastering und Team Seegang Berlin für den Platz im wildesten Haus Neubrandenburgs!

We are well aware of the fact, that as DJs we play other peoples´(as well as our own) music. This means we want to ensure the musicians get the credit and respect they deserve for their work. Whenever reasonably possible (communication get quite intense for us at times) we´ll be happy to supply track IDs, although sometimes it may take a little while. Also we´re happy about reposts if you like what we´re doing.
We value comments whatever they are! Feel free to contact us if You have a comment or something to say. Email to sportbrigade@gmx.de or contact us through Soundcloud or Facebook, though we read those infrequently only.
