First of all, we want to thank so many people who made this thing possible. Much love to all the artists who came to do their thing and rock the crowd - Comfort Fit doing a great workshop and also a dope live-show, fLako playing an incredible live-set and Robot Koch, who tore the venue down on saturday night - but also Blue Daisy, Jeremiah Jae and Teebs who all stretched musical boundaries a little further with their abstract and atmospheric styles on sunday. Big respect goes to all the beatheads participating in the challenge - all of your performances were incredible and everyone of you truly was a winner that night. Also thanks to everyone involved behind the stage, doing the visuals, photographing and filming the whole event.
Moreover, thanks to Erjee for doing a great job hosting the challenge and guiding us through the program during the entire weekend and not to forget the support DJ's, The Binh, V. Raeter, Gordon, Puzzle and Peter Skratch.
Thanks to the Finest Ego Team: Michail, Peter, Malte, Martin, Sarah, Jinna, Gordon, Thomas, Simon, Ben, Binh, Natalie & the venue chiefs and sound engineers!
And finally, much love to our sponsors, hhv.de, Native Instruments, WeSC, Mishka and Acrylick for the prizes and support, Project: Mooncircle, Twen.fm for the live stream coverage and everyone who helped organising and making it all happen behind the scenes and last but not least, big thanks to everyone who came by to rock with us - the atmosphere and energy was amazing!
Without each and every single one of you, this would not have been possible! Expect lots of footage, live-videos, interviews, photos and reports about the event in the coming days!

That results in this brand new project: The Find Mag’s ‘Goodie Bag‘! The package contains a variety of things, but the limited edition t-shirts are by far the best. Together with Project Mooncircle!
Photographer/illustrator/Dj The Binh of Project Mooncircle made a great illustration for it, now silkscreened on cyan blue and red shirts.
Besides that, the first ten orders receive one of the very last physical copies of the limited edition beat tape The Find Rewind.
It contains unreleased instrumental music by Suff Daddy, Full Crate, LuiGi, Stro The 89th Key (formerly of The Procussions), Free The Robots, Mr. Viane (of Mr. Popcorn), Kev Brown, Weedy (of 40 Winks), Dela and much more; hosted by K-Murdock of Panacea.
Wer sich schon länger mit vollem Recht als Berliner bezeichnet, hat mit Sicherheit die eine oder andere schöne Nacht im Tacheles verbracht.

Uns freut natürlich, dass unsere Lieblinge Robot Koch, Pilsdaddy, Herr von Grau & Morlokk Dilemma mit von der Partie sind! Alle Facts und das eindrucksvolle Lineup nach dem Jump!

Am 7. Mai werden die Bassjünger in der Hauptstadt zusammenkommen um die Veröffentlichung des neuen Albums, „Barefoot Wanderer“ (19.04.10 auf BPitch Control) , des Berliner Ausnahme-Trios Jahcoozi zu feiern. Hierfür hat sich die Band mit dem Monkeytown DJ-Team und Ikonika ganz besondere Gäste aus ihrem Umfeld eingeladen, um zusammen mit den anderen Künstlern dem Publikum zu zeigen, was in der internationalen Bass-Music momentan state-of-the-art ist. Und um eine richtig dicke Party zu schmeißen um sich und ihre Fans für ein paar Jahre harter Arbeit zu belohnen.
Darüber hinaus feiert an diesem Abend Robot Koch , der sich bei Jahcoozi für die Beats verantwortlich zeigt, den Release seiner neuen Solo-EP „Listen to them fade“ . Diese erscheint genau richtig am 7. Mai auf dem Berliner Label „Project: Mooncircle“ -Label. Insgesamt bietet der Abend ein spannendes Programm, das neben dem ersten Jahcoozi-Heimspiel des Jahres einen musikalischen Rundumschlag durch die Zukunft der Tanzmusik an der Schwelle von Hip Hop, Dubstep und der Berliner Tradition elektronischer Tanzflächensounds bieten wird.

*SHAHMEN* is what hip-hop is supposed to sound like in the year 2010. The SHAHMEN sound is a dance between moments of pure tonal bliss and dark, hard, banging beats .
Imagine, SENSE (of The Q4) as the mystical, more musically composed student of Muggs and RZA , who learned a secret his teachers did not. Building from their foundation, he reaches new plateaus in the dimensionality of sample composition. Finding his own, unique formula for interweaving haunting melodies between head banging drums, the music pulls you into a trance like state where the rock solid voice of B L S finds the perfect soundscape to sink in. Straight up, B L S has the realest voice in rap in a very long time; ranging from a thundering bass which most rappers can only mimic with a pitch-shift, to a hazy drawl reminiscent of a cowboy in an old western. The unique vocal tone is matched in the lyrics, and B L S stands apart in the original narratives he weaves, leaving far behind the overused and tired archetypes of street stories, and pop-culture punch lines.
Simply put, SHAHMEN the illest seven letter word since OutKast or Nirvana. "Been around the world, already touched six continents, the same pair of Vans slip-ons walked all of 'em, I found Sense floating on a boat in holla land, and ever since then we been building and acknowledging... The world is truly strange, and it only gets stranger, The scenery is beautiful but I also sense danger" -The Stranger, SHAHMEN .
