frankfurt, langenselbold, italy

back back back after a little break and a free weekend in january I i will hit the decks again today. and that even twice as I will dj two gigs tonite which is quite easy as the two locations are only 50 miles away. i look especially forward to february and my return to lovely konstanz and manic munich ;)

what a start. onur, dinky and blm as special guests for christophers and my birthday at cocoon. it was a very nice evening and night. shouts to everybody that showed up and xxl thanx to dali & tina, holger, andreas, matthias, aarash, manu, judith and ariane, susi, nina and boris, wojtek and of course extra extra shouts to kathrin. the night kicked in quite late due to the weather (no thanx to "daisy" and extra extra no thanx to the panic-weather-forecasts, sic!) but turned out to be very good and special with an amazing crowd that seemd to be very much into the music. wow ;)

to everybody who enjoyed onurs and my music, please keep the below standing date in mind as we have a little rematch end of february at lovely club gold!

fingers crossed and let's hope the world will be a better place (oh my god, a michael jackson quote). music is of course one way to spread love & happiness but there are many more things that need to be done and the failure of the copenhagen conference showed us that music is unfortunately not everything. so, my wish for 2010 is peace and global understanding for the problems that need to be solved! and of course, back to the track: more good house music ;)

"massive" at cocoon with luciano and mathew jonson dec 18th was an amazing night and i hope to see all of you again at cocoon for my birthday celebration. yes, again, another year, dammed, time is passing close to lightspeed it seems. be my guest and enjoy the music of onur özer and miss dinky and have a glas of champagne or water with me. or two, or three. water of course.

I have to admit it (again): I definetly need to update my blog more often here. too little time too many things to do, dammed. the last weeks were amazing, especially sven's birthday and my return to grazy graz and the wicked boogeebasement boys! if you ever come to graz make sure to see/hear one of their nights. and of course i need to thank everybody there including rainer and dj hell (nice house set by the way, surprising). dinner at restaurant johann was amazing, too.

october kicks in and it's time to look back at this years summer. amazing gigs and trips to miami, dallas, austin, new york, tokyo, ibiza, london, gijon, barcelona, la coruña and madrid. thanx to everybody who brought us over and very special thanx to everybody that showed up and supported me or motorcitysoul at the clubs and festivals. the list is endless but there are a few names that needs a very very special thank you. so, big shouts to sven, johannes, will, ino, timm, brett grandpa johnson, henri, nic fanciulli, satoshi tomiie and everybody at club air, willie graff, julien shade and jef k, clarisse and last but not least to my two bookers harald and christopher.

coming up next is the motorcitysoul ljubljana debut. a personal highlight for me as it's one of the cities i always wanted to see & feel. october will also see sven's 45th birthday at cocoonclub frankfurt together with onur özer, mymy and cassy. the november gigs will take me to lovely graz again with the "grazy" boogee basement crew. athens is also on the list which will be very exciting as it's my first time to greece, too.

on the productionside I am proud to announce that the current motorcitysoul 12" ("vivid" incl. roman flügel remixes) has just been released on simple. you can check out the release at wordandsound (click picture above) or through beatport. so far for now, time is passing and I have to continue packing things and stuff for the next rounds.

friday night at gold was nice again... good to be back after that long summer break. also back in full effect is the frankfurt football team... well, only 1:1 against nürnberg but a 3:2 away victory in bremen last week at least. unfortunately I won't be able to see their game in cologne as I will be in berlin together with dj stoopid at sascha's wardrobe.
