Ich packe meinen Koffer und nehme mit…eine Tüte voller House-Tunes, eine Schachtel gefüllt mit Electro-Sounds und mein liebstes Hänselchen. Denn am Freitag (03.02.12) führen wieder alle Wege nach Kreuzberg ins heimische Gretchen, wo uns eine wilde Nacht erwartet wie sie im Buche steht! Im Gepäck räkelt sich bereits ein märchenhaftes Line-Up, das nur darauf wartet endlich an die Decks springen zu können und bei unserer Pink-Pong Nacht alle Füße zum Glühen zu bringen. Neben Malente von No Brainer Records, über den ihr HIER mehr erfahrt, und dem Münchener Jungspund Noize Generation ist auch Niko Schwind von Stil Vor Talent mit von der Partie, der mit Techno- und House-Klängen ganze Scharen zu verzaubern weiß. Uns hat er schön längst in seinen Bann gezogen!

Wir können es jetzt schon kaum erwarten ganz bald die Pforten des Gretchens zu öffnen und wenn auch ihr mit dabei sein wollt, dann schreib bis Freitag eine Mail an viki(at)pink-pong.de. Zu gewinnen gibt es 2×2 Gästelistenplätze. Das wird was!

His remixes taste sweet as candy and his own tracks seem to melt in one’s mouth like butter, you just have to long for more! Withal he is still a little chap but the Munich-based Dj/producer Noize Generation is already dropping some killer tunes just as his latest production “Heartbeats“.

It seems like this young guy brims over with creativity! He knocks out fresh remixes for acts like Duo Synchron & Dirty Disco Youth, The S or Beef Theater and on February 24 brandnew stuff will come to light, just check the soundcloud-link below. The self-titled “Captain Awesome” is in fact thinking about making a whole EP for free in the near future and we are raring to get hold of Noize Generation‘s early tracks.
But so far we are looking forward with joyful anticipation to this emergent lad to crush the dance crowd at our Pink-Pong Night at Gretchen (03.02.12) with even more wicked tunes and playing opposite Malente, Niko Schwind and many many more! So stop by and see you friday!

Die beiden Jackmode Jungs von Robosonic haben ja bekanntlich vor kurzem im M.I.K.Z. ihr können unter Beweis gestellt und da wir das so schön fanden, wollten wir euch nochmal wärmstens ihr Mixalbum “Sweet and Nuts” ans Herz legen.

We already adore these epic tunes of The Sneekers! So spread the love and check our booking domain for some more information and good music just like their brandnew DJ mix below

Wie die Zeit schon wieder verflogen ist! Es liegt nun schon fast ein halbes Jahr zurück, dass uns DER Londoner Indie-/Electro-DJ in Berlin besucht hat. Doch dieses Mal müssen wir uns dicke Stiefel und Mäntel anziehen und mit der U1 oder U6 ins tiefe Kreuzberg fahren, denn am Samstag, den 28. Januar 2012, wird der feine Herr Alkan dem Gretchen ordentlich einheizen.
Erol Alkans Dj-Set hatte schon in unserem alten Wohnzimmers Icon jeden Raver zum dehydrieren gebracht und die Tanzausdauer durch Tracks wie “Lemonade” (siehe unten) auf die Probe gestellt.

Nun wird er es ein weiteres Mal wagen, die Hallen seines Labels Phantasy Sound verlassen, die Nordsee überqueren und schließlich durch den Eingangspavillion des Gretchens wandern. An seiner Seite hat er seinen Landsmann und ehemaligen Trash-Resident Rory Phillips, der für ausgefallene Remixe unter anderem für The XX, Digitalism und Gossip steht.

Wir verlosen mal wieder 3×2 Gästelistenplätze. Schreibt einfach eine Mail an viki(at)pink-pong.de bis Samstagmittag und sagt uns, warum gerade ihr dabei sein müsst. Ansonsten übt schonmal eure Tanzschritte und stay tuned!

At the end of 2011 you could admire how he was dropping some fresh house vibes at Gretchen Berlin. Now it’s 2012 and the Berlin-based DJ with british origins Lars Moston is back with a full package of hot sounds! Early in February his brandnew remix for the french DJ-duo DRO & LODZY will be released and we already adore it! Here you can taste this pearl of electronic music:

Dro & Lodzy – Paradis Artificieux (Lars Moston Remix) snippet by Lars Moston

But the young man has even more in petto! Only few days ago he launched a special DJ mix for January 2012 called “Last train to Ostkreuz”. What a wonderful homage to one of Friedrichhain’s greatest corners where our oval office is seated by the way This mixtape features three brandnew Lars Moston remixes and tones of tasty tunes from acts like Frag Maddin, Teenage Mutants, Monkey Safari and Malente, who will be in on it at our PINK-PONG party at Gretchen Berlin on the 3th of February.

If you wanna find out more about this smart tea-drinking Sauerkraut, just check our interview series. There he is talking about crazy live-experiences, how he started his career and where it’s going to lead him in the next future. Drop by at Ping-Pong with Pink-Pong and Lars Moston.

We´ve announced something special a few days ago (link) and here it is: Woodkid will climb the Eiffel Tower in Paris to enchant a global audience with a haunting live-streamed performance above the rooftops of the city of love. This unique experience will be broadcasted today at 8 pm right here! Before the broadcast starts, the screen will be black, so don´t worry if you can´t see anything at 6.47 pm today… at 8pm (paris & berlin time) the show will start LIVE!

13 years of funky electro house – that means 5 grand LP’s and countless tracks and remixes for well-known artist from all around the world. This gentle young man knows how things roll in the biz and especially 2011 was one of the best years for Malente, a talented german DJ and producer we had the honour to play Pink-Pong with (check the interview here).
His own record label No Brainer Records, which he established only two years ago, could manage to grab the second position in the German Club Charts 2011 poll and got 4 tunes in the German Club Charts DCC annual 2011 listing. Two of them amongst the top 40 including Malente‘s and Zero Cash‘s “I’ll be there“:

But 2012 is going to be even bigger! He just started the new year with his monthly represented Resident Advisor charts. This time for January ’12 in which acts like Monkey Safari and NT89 are all-inclusive…check the full TOP 10 list here.
However, this little whiz kid is a real multi-tasking talent. Right now he is working on a new collaboration with Treasure Fingers, whose output will be the brandnew “Crusaders EP” that is coming late January. Get a fresh pretaste here:

Treasure Fingers & Malente – Crusaders EP by Defected Records

Still the best is yet to come in February when Malente gets fetched back to our beloved hometown Berlin City. On the 03.02.2012 we are throwing the next Pink-Pong party at Gretchen Berlin and nobody else but this mister niceguy will spin the turntables.
So stay tuned for some more information! This is going to be a huge year, for Malente as well as for the Pink-Pong family!

Usually it’s the artist who conducts his fan-crowd but in this case it is the other way round! For the fifth time DELL and Intel invite people around the world to an extraordinary experience in which followers have the power to collaborate with the performing artist before and during the show and aims to bring audiences and bands closer together than ever before. In this “Special Engagements” episode the devotees take control over Woodkid, a french performer and creativ head, who already worked together with Lana del Rey for her “Born to die” video.
He will climb the Eiffel Tower in Paris to enchant a global audience with a haunting live-streamed performance above the rooftops of the city of love. This unique experience will be broadcasted on the 24th of January at 7:30p.m. GMT via noisey.com and you will have the chance to watch it exclusively live on our Pink-Pong blog on tuesday!

This is truely an offer you can’t refuse!

This time Dell and Intel in cooperation with the VICE network invite you to share a terrific moment of good music and sweeping interaction of crowd and performer in la belle ville Paris. So TUNE IN and don’t miss this once in a lifetime experience!

Just imagine: All the way down the “Pacific Coast Highway” in your Ferrari Testarossa, wearing a pink shirt and Ray Ban’s “Wayfarer” and listening to Pia Zadora’s “When the rain begins to fall” on the radio…then you know how Sonny Crockett must have felt cruising through Miami in the 80′s.
Now back into the future! There is one man that is reviving the 80′s-manner with funky discohousebass plus retro visuals and will head to Gretchen Berlin on saturday the 21st of January via time leap. Kavinsky, the french teddy boy amongst the djs, will unpack his disks and lay down a dj-set that even video game freaks will be delighted. Especially when he is dropping his track “Testarossa Autodrive” remixed by SebastiAn, known from GTA IV.
