WiseUp! 01/2016 Lena Willikens & Review 2015
This is the annual end of the year review and a preview to CTM festival 2016. There were loads of great releases in 2015! For example Lena Willikens – who released her EP Phantom Delia in early 2015, and we did an interview April 2015 @ Rokolectiv Festival. For the past five years, she has been in charge of long and sweaty Friday night parties at Düsseldorf’s Salon Des Amateurs. She is also a dedicated member of the Cómeme records tribe. As a DJ, radio broadcaster (check out her show Sentimental Flashback), producer, and Theremin player, Lena is never committed to one style, all is welcome as long as it is twisted the in a one-of-a-kind way. When she spins records she likes to let herself go in the name of dance and free thought. »»»»

Prolls mit Klasse
(Deutsch) WiseUp folgt diesmal der Figur des Prolls. Anlässlich des 50jährigen Jubiläums der Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies (CCCS) stellte Moritz Ege seine Dissertation “Ein Proll mit Klasse. Mode, Popkultur und soziale Ungleichheiten unter jungen Berliner Männern in Berlin” an der Universität Innsbruck vor. Das CCCS war ein kleines, aber bis heute in der Kulturwissenschaft einflussreiches Institut an der University of Birmingham, die in den 70er und 80er Jahren grundlegende interdisziplinäre Forschungen zu Subkultur und Popkultur vorlegten. Diese untersuchten kulturelle Erscheinungen unter Berücksichtigung von sozialstrukturellen Merkmalen wie class, race, gender. Moritz Ege befasst sich in seinem Vortrag und seiner ethnografischen Studie mit der Aktualität der CCCS Studien. Berliner Prolls mit Klasse hören auch deutschsprachigen HipHop, der als illustrativer Soundtrack, den Vortrag begleitet. Eine Einladung zur Suche nach den vielfältigen Facetten des Prolls und dem Proll in uns. »»»»

Die niederländische Plattenakrobatin beschränkt sich nicht auf eine bestimmte Musikrichtung. Was Marcelle so auszeichnet, ist neben ihrer unfassbaren Kenntnis von Musik (Sie besitzt eine umfangreiche persönliche Sammlung von circa 15.000 Schallplatten und arbeitet live nur mit Vinyl), die Einzigartigkeit ihres Mixes. Sie ist vielseitig und überraschend. Die Zuhörer werden nicht nur unterhalten, sondern sind Teil eines Abenteuers. »»»»

State of Emergence – DepecheMode Mix-2011 #1
This is a mix of Depeche Mode songs with lots of remixes, live versions and edits recorded from vinyl. Depeche Mode fits well on the cassette format with side a/b dramaturgy.
It was part of the radiobroadcast “30 years of Depeche Mode” I made around christmas 2011 because their first release was in 1981. It featured both of the mixes. Eventhough you can feel the 80s or 90s strongly in their albums, to me their music is pretty ahead of time and I am glad they managed to keep their music sounding like the present tense. »»»»

Writing the Memory of the City – Thomas Wiczak
Thomas Wiczak is one of the co-publishers of the book “Writing the Memory of the City”. He was involved in important group actions in Berlin and activities like Jazzstylecorner or the Outsides exhibition. During the work on his book he decided to no longer work on the streets and write his name. His text describes trains of thought instead, no trains of metal. His article describes the cessation as an existential part of writing. »»»»
Writing The Memory Of The City – Daniel Tagno
(Deutsch) „Die Erkenntnis der Notwendigkeit von Reanimation“ in „Writing The Memory Of The City“ zeigt die Entwicklung und Dualität des Bombers COST und dem Künstler Daniel Tagno. Wenn der wilde Writer COST in Aktion ist, kommt Daniel Tagnos rastloser Geist zur Ruhe. Dennoch entsteht auch Angst, wenn der Writer auf den eher weichen Künstler trifft. Oft haben beide unvereinbar scheinende Wünsche. Deshalb schreibt Tagno einen Liebesbrief an seinen Alter Ego COST. Diese persönliche Perspektive auf einen inneren Konflikt, kann auch stellvertretend für viele Künstler in dem Buch verstanden werden. Weil Tagno eine Brücke vom klassischen Train-Writing zum Kunstbetrieb schlägt, ist er der erste vorgestellte Künstler in dem Buch von Markus Mai und Thomas Wiczak, das Ende letzten Jahres beim Dokument Förlag erschien. »»»»

WiseUp 04/2007 DefJux-Label, El-P
Text 2014: Listening to El-P at a Bar last night made me search for the Def-Jux-Special. I was a bit shocked that it is so long ago. Back in 2007 @ FSK freeradio Hamburg the show was sunday night and open-end so we took our time: it was a 4 hour special, joining forces with Nandor of NoTVRaps. So this is a good half of that night shift featuring the El-P interview and defjux discography. In 10/2014 El-P has a new record out: run the jewels 2 with Killer Mike. »»»»

Space Achievement – 1999 – By Jukebox Utopia
Wow this is really oldschool! Made around 1999. I just started doing radio and bttb radioshow was making a radio-mix-contest. Listeners should send in mixes about the theme “the moon”. I was working back then with a little akai-sampler and the mix is stuffed with samples. It features songs related to the moon (directly or in my mind) and artists like Björk, Faithless, Manu Chau or German Artists like Doppelkopf. This was one of the few serious concept mix efforts I ever made. Its perfect for a chill down, a sleepless night, warshipping the power of the moon or some 90s nostalgia. »»»»
