On Saturday August 29, 2009 is the party I’ve been waiting for for over half a year: Bass Planet. Who’s coming? Westbam, Hardy Hard and Lady Waks from St. Petersburg (Russia): the reason I’m looking forward to this party so much. The second dance floor is being taken care of by local DJs Phoenix & Martink.

The party is taking place in Edelfettwerk (Hamburg, Germany) on Saturday August 29th. Doors open at 10 p.m. and the party is open-ended. Entrance is 6 EUR before midnight and 10 EUR after midnight. Read more

We went to see the Queen Mary 2 leaving the harbor of Hamburg (Germany) at 8:30 p.m. (CEST) on August 15, 2009. Here are some impressions taken from one of the accompanying boats:

We recently saw The Hangover. This is a comedy movie about four guys going to Las Vegas to have a bachelor party, waking up the next morning and having no idea what happened. The only clues available are a missing tooth, a tiger in the bathroom, a baby in the closet, etc. Oh, and one hell of a hangover…

It was one of the funniest movies I’ve seen in a while. Enjoy the trailer below, then go and watch it in theater yourself: Read more

Ever since Last.fm made the unfortunate decision to become a paid subscription service for all countries except in the US, UK and Germany, I’ve been on the lookout for a good alternative to get to some tunes from somewhere else and I’ve finally found exactly that!

CitySounds.fm lets you listen to the latest music from cities around the world. At the top are the most active cities and the list constantly changes as new music is being created. The music is being fetched from SoundCloud and the city photos are fetched from Flickr.

The music available through CitySounds.fm seems to be primarily dance music until now and I’m quite happy about that actually. Enjoy listening to the music!

Update (August, 22nd): There’s a new and improved version of CitySounds.fm online in which all cities now have their own page as well, you can register as a listener by tweeting a link to the city page and and cities within the same country are suggested to listen to. CitySounds.fm was already great and it just got better!

Are you bored on a Friday evening in Hamburg? There’s a great weekly party called The Uniscene Experience in Halo you should check out if you’re into dance music.

It’s a nice location with 3 dance floors offering dance classics, house, RnB, techno, electro and tech-house. Entrance is for free for students, otherwise it’s 6 EUR. We had a great time! Read more
