By Urlaubshits • Nov 14th, 2008 • Category: Blog

…well, just the music section actually.

The highlight has to be his review of this week’s singles here, in which he tells it how it is, something I always love.

If you’re looking for something to listen to while you wait for the next Urlaubshits mix, then you could do worse than check out this podcast Serge Santiago has done for XLR8R:

It’s full of classic italo, and most the most exciting inclusion is Serge Santiago’s own edit of Droids’ “(Do You Have) The Force”, featured [...]



The new site explained

By Urlaubshits • Nov 9th, 2008 • Category: Blog

So I’m finally there – sorry its taken so long, but what with the commitments of having a job and being a perfectionist, it’s had to wait until now for new content to go up. What you will see on the front page now are five sections: Column, Blog, Mixes, Singles, and Albums.
Column
Every week I [...]



A new home!

By Urlaubshits • Oct 31st, 2008 • Category: Blog

Update your bookmarks!
Urlaubshits has moved to its new home – http://www.urlaubshits.co.uk

I would have gone for urlaubshits.com, but unfortunately it is owned by a German holiday website. Remember not to make the mistake of going there.
There are still things to do to make it complete but for now it lives. All future articles will be posted [...]



Beta to the max

By Urlaubshits • Oct 28th, 2008 • Category: Blog

It’s been a week longer than anticipated, but it’s almost done.
Urlaubshits 2.0 is now in final beta testing. This redesign is not just a few cosmetic changes but a complete overhaul in the way the blog works, which is why it’s taken longer than expected. Come back here on Friday and all will be revealed…

Progressive Funk

By Urlaubshits • Oct 8th, 2008 • Category: Blog

I have to admit, I was rather blown away by Simian Mobile Disco’s DJ set at matter on Friday. I’ve seen them live and DJing a few times, but this occasion saw them really step up their game. In terms of what they do, they’re probably the best, in my opinion having probably surpassed Erol [...]



Cosmic Crunk

By Urlaubshits • Oct 3rd, 2008 • Category: Blog

Tonight I make my way to that greatest of white elephants, London’s Millenium Dome, now the grand totem of all that is capitalist and morally bankrupt, the so renamed “O2 Arena“. However, the people behind Fabric have just opened a new superclub named “matter” (proper noun) deep within the bowels of the beast. As a [...]



Sweet Loving

By Urlaubshits • Sep 25th, 2008 • Category: Blog

Fuck Buttons‘ debut album Street Horrrsing is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful sounding albums this year. The album is a textural marvel, and, despite their noise credentials, dark and sombre drones co-exist with bright colours and sweet melodies. If you don’t have the album, get it. If you do have it, then you should [...]

Runaway are New York based DJ and producer duo Jacques Renault and Marcos Cabral, who have been responsible for a number of releases, the latest of which is “Brooklyn Club Jam“, their ode to the good old days of Chicago house, released this summer on Rekids.

Intergalactic Planetary

By Urlaubshits • Sep 20th, 2008 • Category: Blog

I hadn’t bought an Ed Banger release for about a year until this week, but the new Mickey Moonlight 12″ Interplanetary Music was too good to pass up. The So-Me artwork, as ever, is worth your money alone. If only all record sleeves were as lovingly designed. “Interplanetary Music” is a cover of a Sun [...]
