i can say it was a great long weekend we (dj kompact, me, our better halves and a bunch of friends) spent in zagreb, the "cab club" and the big brother house you could call "la cage aux folles". zagreb, a mixture of graz and istanbul as - i would say - came up with some great hospitality from beko's and william's side (big thank you for that!!!! on this side), amazing sea food at "korcula restaurant" (if u ever go there try the best sepia-risotto you ever had), the best fast food cevapcici i have ever eaten and "last but definitelly not least" a blazin party with a lot of bottles of "medica" (rakia with honey you can get in hundreds of variations), really nice people in an underground cellar location that was built during tito's leadership and not changed over the last 30!!! years and a guy on the bar (the owner of cab club), who's sitting there for already 30 years, typing the amount he charges for a drink in a calculator to tell you after. he got fast over the years, believe me!

getting to know some really nice and intersting new people, phat phillie from blackout entertainment among them, we enjoyed our stay, made people dance and went to bed "drunk as a skunk". some of us a little bit earlier, some a little bit later. "beko". william. and all of you that joined us. thanx for the weekend and a load of new experiences. it was great and zagreb, we will come back!

some things you should check out: cab club, b-side for dancers, william collins, restaurant korcula (teslina 17), beko's smart shop and his tshirts (ilica 37), radio101, blackouthiphop.com/tv and a nice big daddy kane documentary, zagreb and the hatmaker at the opposite of the big brother house ...

untitled_in_case_no_05_2 (their past is our future) by lens (kemoka sound version) is goin to be screened at Film:riss Student Film Festival Salzburg November 12th at 7:30 pm (panorama - category "docu") ... for more information please go to the festival website filmriss.at, the festival lasts from 10th to 15th of november. see you there.

"the fact that i was out there in this special night was determining the whole athmosphere of the sound. i didn't think a minute about how the feeling should be. it had to bee windy, mysterious and very dark. so i performed a jazzballad and cutted it into little pieces, like the pictures in the movie. a few windy sounds and some weird, cutted beats later my soundversion for untitled_in_case_no_05 was born." (by kemoka)

... a lot, so this post is supposed to sum it all up. let's take it from the top:

Tuesday Nov 4 '08 (= Today!) Kompact will be spinning records alongside Francoforte at Café Leopold, Vienna. more...

Friday Nov 7 '08 fresh out the box Rotaug member Simonaggio will be hosting EROBIQUE LIVE (International Pony) together with Bernhard Tobola at Brut, Vienna.

Saturday Nov 8 '08 Lens G. Jadepfahl will be teaming up with the First Lady of Bad Taste to blend genres into eternity at Rote Bar Volkstheater, Vienna. more...

Nov 5 - Nov 9 '08 - this is a Rotaug recommendation for all of those interested in styles off the beaten track. They should join the ELEVATE festival in Graz this week - lots of concerts, live-performances, discussions and the like. My personal recommendation would be this Thursday: DJ Spooky That Subliminal Kid a.k.a. Paul D. Miller discussing "Commons of the Mind", starting at 19:30 @ Dom im Berg with a Live Performance right after...

Don't sleep this week! Peace.
