The room was empty yet still the music bellowed loudly and echoed. Stood over by the front left stack he began to sway and move in time with the beat of the drum which throbbed and reverberated inside the large bass bins. Soon the room would begin to fill with people who listened and loved it all as much as he did, yet he was not here for them. The only person he came here for was himself, to feel the noise as it pulsed through the very core of what was left of him.

Some people would forget this night but not him. He remembered every single one, the empty rooms before and afterwards, the smiling faces and the songs which blared loud from the front left stack.

PBR Streetgang are remixed by Hardway Bros on a new EP for Kurtz, a groovy cosmic affair which leans heavily on the raw era of acid house which came before. This one is grounded in longstanding principles and lessons learnt on dancefloors over many years and you’d be wise to take heed and play it loud.

Born and raised in the early nineties in southwest Berlin, these two did not yet know that their paths would once cross one another. 25 years and plenty of DJ-Gigs later, they stood next to one another at a Home Party in Zehlendorf. The circumstances were not the best: really old CDJs, an extremely small DJ booth and another Covid-lockdown about to occur. However, they had a bag full of cosmic tunes, their Disco-finger on lock and a Rhubarb-Prosecco-Mixture filled in their glasses. Since then, the two have been drifting around weightlessly between Cosmic-, Dark- and Astrological Disco.

In the last couple of years the Zehlendorfer Disco Squad has been playing at Festivals such as the Feel Festival, Meeresrausch- and Wurzelfestival. 2023 has seen the rise of their new event series "Disco Futurismo" and regular gigs at renowned clubs such as Sisyphos, Kater Blau, Renate (Berlin) or Sektor (Dresden). Lets see where the cosmic journey takes them in 2025!
