FINEST EGO | Monthly Trip with Kidkanevil and Amenta
19 November 2011



We are very pleased to announce our guests for our upcoming Monthly Trip on the 19th of November! RBMA alumni kidkanevil (UK) and Amenta (Canada) will perform together at Panke, Berlin. Being the first time kidkanevil plays in Berlin and one of the rare occasions to see him and Amenta perform together, we can expect futuristic beats between avantgarde Electronica and organic HipHop in combination with Amenta's folky and soulful voice. Supporting DJs will be DJ Werd, Radio&Fernseh and Malte.

While kidkanevil, also being a member of Stateless (Ninja Tune), already released three albums, a remix album, plus various other projects on First Word Records (working together with such artists as Bonobo, Jehst, Lateef, Andreya Triana, Illum Sphere, Mr Thing, Natural Self, DJ Vadim & Yarah Bravo amongst many others), Amenta has just released her first very well received deput EP "Sacred Places" on the same label. However, in her music-career she has already worked with such prolific producers as Blue Daisy, Mau’Lin, fLako, kidKanevil, Om Unit, Clinic, Lost Twin and Throwing Snow, most of whom can also be found on her EP.



Timetable:
11.30PM Malte - Dj set
00.00AM DJ Werd - Dj set
00.30AM Amenta - Live
01.30AM kidkanevil - Live

Hard @ Work: Lumberjack design vs. business look
12 April 2011

Obwohl Hemden bei oberflächlicher Betrachtung eine eher nüchterne Angelegenheit sind, steckt bei diesem Thema der Teufel im Detail. Was entspricht deinem Typ? Grob-, kleinkariert oder schlicht, Kentkragen oder vielleicht Button-Down Collar, Flanell oder Popeline? Ein smarter Business-Look oder doch eher die casual-orientierte Lumberjack-Version? Eine Brusttasche, zwei oder gar keine? Keller- oder Quetschfalte auf dem Rücken? Langarm oder Shortsleeve? Oder darf's eventuell etwas ganz Spezielles mit Kapuze sein? Du merkst schon, es ist gar nicht so einfach, wie man denkt. Lass dich inspirieren von unserer Auswahl und rock den Frühling 2011 (oder darf man schon Sommer sagen?), als ob es kein Morgen gäbe!

hhv.de FINEST EGO WEEKEND (March, 19 - 20th)
16 February 2011



hhv.de is proud to announce a very special event to you: “The Finest Ego Weekend”! This event is officially kicking off our artist-network “Finest Ego” (http://www.finestego.com), a new platform and community for up-and-coming young and innovative producers and music-lovers in and around the constantly changing and evolving bass music continuum.

On March 19th and 20th, some of the most active and prolific international producers as well as unknown young talents from all around Europe will come together in the club “Chez Jacki” (Maria am Ostbahnhof) on the banks of the river Spree. Whilst, on Saturday afternoon, renowned producers will host workshops and give insight into their music creation process and production-techniques, the programm for the evening is filled with exclusive live-acts on both days. Robot Koch, fLako, Blue Daisy, Comfort Fit and the two Flying Lotus proteges Teebs and Jeremiah Jae represent the future of hiphop in a fascinating unique way and have developed a new sound, which at the same time ties in 30 years of hiphop tradition, whilst also connecting to the abstract structures of electronic music and the depth of clubmusic. Teebs, Blue Daisy and Jeremiah Jae have never before played live in Germany and are visiting Berlin exclusively for the “Finest Ego Weekend”.

Central part of the event is the “Beatmaker Challenge”, which gives young producers the opportunity to not only showcase their music in front of an international live-audience but to also win studiogear from Native Instruments, Clothing / Headphones from Wesc, Acrylick, Mishka and a record deal with Finest Ego Records and Project: Mooncircle.

Please send a application with your music and a short biography to: finestego@googlemail.com!

WeSC Headphones: New seasonal colors in stock!
15 November 2010

Von WeSC gibt’s im Moment richtig was auf die Ohren. Nein, natürlich nicht in physischer Form, hier geht’s um Beats und Sounds. Naja, eigentlich um die mobilen Gerätschaften, die selbige absondern bzw. transportieren und auf obskure Namen wie Oboe, Maraca, Tambourine oder Bongo hören. Diese WeSC Headphones sind gerade frisch eingetroffen und erstrahlen jetzt in den heißesten Farben der Saison, nur um dem Outfit eine feine Note zu verleihen und das fehlende I-Tüpfelchen aufzusetzen. Also bitte nicht schlafen und einfach mal auf's Banner klicken.
