MICHAEL JACKSON - RISE OF THE MACHINES

You MIGHT have heard about this guy by the name of Michael Jackson, who recently passed away. (I was somewhat relieved when all the SMS and mails stopped coming in last Thursday.) Thriller was the first album I bought. 9 tracks, 7 single out of it. Wow.
He's also been a great musical influence to my buddies Transformer Di Roboter. While riding to a gig in Leipzig with them last week, we were surprised finding out how unemotional we all were on the death of our ex idol. Still, some sort of tribute needs to be done on BRRRLN as well.

MP3: Transformer Di Roboter - Stranger In Moscow YSI

TALKING ABOUT L-VIS

L-Vis 1990's latest remix for Xtatic Truth by the Crystal Fighters is now safe for blogging. Hooray!
Also congratulations on the huge success of his latest single United Groove, out on Mad Decent. Get that thing over here or here. The video is great, too.

TALKING ABOUT CHARTS

First of all, I know I owe you a couple of charts. I'll get back to that next week.

For starters, here's the Grindin charts that I'm putting my votes and suggestions in.

If you want to know more about Grindin, here's some short info what it's about:
Grindin is an invitational network of electro/club music blogs from around the world brought together over a mutual love of music, writing and pop culture.
Founded by Discobelle in 2007 the group has grown to 66 members across 28 blogs representing countries such as the USA, Canada, the UK, Spain, France, Germany, Australia and Sweden. With a combined readership in excess of xxx million.

Grindin Chart June 09
01. L-VIS 1990 - 'United Groove'
02. Diplo & Blaqstarr - 'Get Off (Jack Beats Remix)'
03. Friendly Fires - 'Jump In The Pool (Wild Geese Remix)'
04. Dre Skull - 'I Want You (Bok Bok Remix)'
05. Major Lazer - 'Pon Di Floor'
06. Jakwob - 'Wild Pitch'
07. Classixx Ft. Jeppe - 'Ill Get You'
08. Florence & The Machine - 'Rabbit Heart (Switch Remix)'
09. Health - 'Die Slow'
10. Duck Sauce - 'aNYway'
11. DJ Kaos - 'Love The Night Away (Tiedye Remix)'
12. Justin Martin - 'My Angelic Demons'
13. Untold - 'Anaconda'
14. Marina & The Diamonds - 'I Am Not a Robot (The Aspirins For My Children Remix)'
15. Dorian Concept - 'Trilingual Dance Sexperience'

Talking about charts... Anybody noticed the discussion about the manipulation on the Hypemachine charts? Read their statement here. Most interesting point is the artists involved. I've been annoyed by mass emails by a couple of those on the lists. Note, I don't necessarily blame the artists themselves, however you can see what misguided promotion can lead to... Generation spam.
To conclude this, love the Hypemachine, not their charts, though (even before the chart integrety was busted).
And to have this post found on my favourite blog crawler, here's the latest Fake Blood remix for you.

BRRRLN WEEKEND RECOMMENDATIONS

Big weekend for partying in Berlin ahead. Once again.
First up, the monthly Whip It Good at Magnet Club. Invited new talent Robophil and guess what, he's coming. Already played with him at Digital Petting recently, so I can tell you without guessing he's a really good DJ. And I like his productions, too. Playing live will be songwriter Lissy Trullie (love her cover of Hot Chip's Ready For The Floor) and The XX.

Host of the night is Greco-Roman, their Soundsystem is going to be great for sure as they constantly put out amazing records by the likes of Buraka Som Sistema, Drums Of Death and more...
