Mka7

Paul Kalkbrenner is a minimal Dj from the far reaches of Deutsch land – Germany. You see he’s got this film that he stars in, Berlin Calling (posted below). This 2008 film stars Paul Kalkbrenner as Dj Ickarus who is visiting Berlin for his album release tour of different clubs and festivals the usual life of a Dj. The night of his new album release after performing at a show, Dj Ickarus is put up into an emergency ward of a psychiatric clinic for basically abusing too many drug paraphernalia. During the course of the movie Dj Ickarus becomes estranged with his girlfriend and heads down the winding, spiral, of a rabbit hole.

I haven’t personally been able to view this movie yet, and I haven’t seen it on Amazon.com for sale. If anything I’m pretty sure I can compare it to It’s All Gone Pete Tong, the story of fictional Dj character Frankie Wilde. Dj Frankie Wilde becomes deaf during the course of his Dj career and becomes this awry character that still manages to produce talented electronic music. Oh the lives of cracked-out eccentric Djs , “Pick Me ! Pick ME!” meh. Hopefully one day I’ll be able to sniff crack off strippers’ hygienic rumps just like Neil Patrick Harris (Doogie Howser) in Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle.

This post mostly is to give you some great tracks that you may also use to add to your life soundtrack in your various travels n’such. Sky and Sand- Paul Kalkbrenner (ft. Fritz Kalkbrenner), is a must have vocal for any nostalgic moment that you may want to refer back to in your life. This track did not garnish enough publicity as I think it should but you are the judge! Next up are all instrumentals and club bangers with Square 1, Queer Fellow, and the jazz synth track Atzepeng. The next two tracks are Kalkbrenners’ hits proving his Uber-electronic sounds with Gebrunn Gebrunn, Azure , and one special edit of Mango (orig. Sascha Funke) to boot. Square 1 is a personal favorite, Queer Fellow is more of an instrumental that has influences of a scattered, syncopated BT track or a Telefon Tel Aviv production. If you enjoyed those little jazz numbers from Austin Powers’ movies then you should appreciate the track Atzepeng about middle of the song, like most house music, Kalkbrenner blends in a jazzy synth to the vibe.

Gebrunn Gebrunn, song playing during movie trailer, is a great track to listen to whilst doing all of these things: watch the sunrise-watch the sunset-get some crank-get some drank-dust off the running shoes-travel in a plane-travel in a train, or just like how my roommate suggested to me “It makes me think that I’m in a factory working on the assembly line somewhere.” Laughing my ass off I’ll consider watching Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory next time with Gebrunn Gebrunn playing, however you would like to enjoy it do just that, enjoy.
