This weekend, Saturday April 19th to be more precise, two legends will be holding lectures at semper depot vienna. Since one of them is truly an austrian local hero, this is one you shouldn't miss. Here's some info about the two, provided by the RBMA, who will be hosting the lecture (sorry about the german language):

Supermax:
Kurt Hauenstein ist der coolste Typ auf Erden. Punkt. Wer außer Hauenstein bzw. Supermax kann sonst schon von sich behaupten, als erster weißer Musiker beim renommierten Sunsplash-Festival in Jamaica gespielt und 1980 als erster Westler die Bühnen hinter dem eisernen Vorhang erobert zu haben? Von seinen Hits wie „Love Machine“ ganz zu schweigen. Dieser Track glänzt auch heute noch trotz der 30 Jahre, die der Klassiker mittlerweile am Buckel hat, weltweit als Exempel für reduzierte Funkyness und deepe Discogrooves. Vor allem aber besticht Supermax durch seine Originalität und seine ablehnende Haltung gegenüber fauler Anbiederung. Wie sonst wäre es zu erklären, dass sich der 59-Jährige jeglicher Austropop-Nostalgie entzieht und stattdessen lieber mit seinen musikalischen Verehrern wie Buddha Monk of Wu-Tang Clan-Fame ins Studio geht.

DJ Funk:
Ein Blatt hat er sich nie vor den Mund genommen, der gute DJ Funk. Mit seinen Platten auf dem legendären Dance Mania Label, die Titel wie „Ass & Titty“ oder „Mr. Big D**k“ tragen, zählt er nicht nur zu den schelmischsten Schweinigeln der Dance-Historie, sondern hat obendrein das Genre Ghetto House erfunden. Schnelle, harte Housebeats, eine Brise Electro und HipHop-Elemente kombiniert der Chicagoer DJ seit Mitte der Achtziger Jahre mit nicht ganz jugendfreien Schlachtrufen und entlockt seinen Drumcomputern dabei explosive Dancetracks, die kein Tanzbein ruhig lassen.

As some of you might already know, Graz, Austria was what i called home for about a year and it's about time for me to go down there and catch up this weekend. I'll be visiting my Beat Connection Bro Dero to elaborate on the MPC (stay tuned for results!) and have a good time on Friday, April 11th @ Galileo Graz and the day after, April 12th @ Continuum Graz. Dero and company will be spinnin records all night long and I'll be joining them. So come out if you are around the area, and btw: checkout tiefparterre.net for some hot shizzle! over and out.

after some difficulties on tuesday i have the remaining parts of my brain stitched together again. in the name of all, i allow myself to say thank you to all the people that were showing up and made it the nice-atmosphere, positive-vibe-party we enjoyed together! i'm sorry i lost orientation at some point but anyhow, i was ending up in bed after a little nap outside (but at least i smiled, mognes said)

a big thank you and shout out to julia from susihaus for making this short-termed crazyness possible, bearing us and keeping all the things we have lost until i picked it up the next day. the coca-cola you gave me "saved" my (tues)day eve by the way.

for all the people that missed that one! it was not the last one!

Update: check the picture gallery

the exhibition of stencil history x is opening today march 13th @ inoperable gallery vienna, lindengasse 4/1a, the exhibition lasts until april 15th and shows very nice stencilworks collected for and published in the book stencil history x.

If you don't have anything planned for tomorrow, March 8th, turn on your radio and tune
into Radio FM4 as I will be playing some quality hiphop tunes at JoeJoe's DK Mixshow
starting at 24:00. that's about all, hope you enjoy. Peace
