Finally a new tune by Stockholm’s Redondo Beach: “Oh this sun, it will continue through the afternoon. As I’m listening to the bells of the cathedral, I am thinking of your voice.”
Certainly Hamburg’s most beautiful and quite possibly also best DJ duo: Hei and Lej. Hei is also the mastermind behind electro/ambient project Kirrin Island who released a phenomenal debut album titled Cassette in May. Together with turntable companion Lej, their set will definitely one of Team Poule’s highlights at MS Dockville this year.
Hei & Lej schmeißen die Party at Klüse on Saturday from 15h30. Attached is their latest recorded set from February, a vibrant mix of disco, house and passionate pop.
The Hei himself will also be part of the Brüllwürfel line-up on Friday, right next to the entrance of the Nest stage.
Another great german group in the line-up of Hamburg’s MS Dockville next week. Parasite Single sport a very sophisticated setup on stage with massive drums, a vast electronic kit and the ur-deutsch Glockenspiel. This worked great at their shows, much more forward and lively than their recorded material. Should be amazing under the clear sky.
Parasite Single are playing Maschinenraum on Sunday, 13h20 – that is twenty minutes past one, pm.
The charming Electric Ocean People, one of Hamburg’s finest bands, will play Dockville this year: Minimal post-pop, almost orchestral sound. They are currently working on their second album, their debut Belly Of A Whale came out a year ago. One of those bands whose true potential is really difficult to put on a tape, gotta see them on a stage. This should be great one.
Electric Ocean People are playing Butterland on Sunday, 15h40.
Hot new group from Hackney this one. Leisure produces some rad mix of soulful RnB vocals and synths with a dance sensibility. Mega fresh, just the right tunes for a hot summer night. Tourist is their latest, and only, offering. Taken from their debut extended play titled Flux.
Another gem you most certainly do not want to miss at MS Dockville next week: Vimes. The duo based in Cologne is already looking back at quite a successful year 2013. Having played numerous gigs around the globe, including the prestigious South by Southwest in Texas. Driving electro-pop with sort of a natural almost folk feeling underneath, backed with an impressive visual set. They released a great album on Berlin’s Humming Records.
Attached is UpStairs, Vimes will play Maschinenraum, Saturday 17h20. That is twenty minutes past five in the afternoon.
