U10247/ 08.02.2025
“Perfection” as an ideal can make artists quite restless, and as the night for the musicians at this U10247 event was, in retrospect, leaning heavily towards ‘flawless’, Deutsche Bahn knew how to provide reliable support in the run-up to the event: The Hessians traveling to the event found themselves spontaneously standing still in the middle of a Saxon wilderness until their train eventually rolled on and finally arrived in Berlin two hours late.
Due to this cunning DB prank, maniac&me had discarded his role as a reception committee, went into the Mini and used the favor of the train delay hours to provide the first guests with dubby minimal sound. As the number of guests increased, he switched to more powerful tech- and Chicago house until the Hessians arrived and Kire took over the decks.
With a characteristically stoic expression, Kire captured those present from the outset in his irresistible maelstrom of driving, techy minimal groove, which seems to roll along unruffled, but allows no escape: The quality of the sound and the mixing technique was recognized by the audience through an increasing willingness to dance. As the sound maelstrom progressed, the pressure and sharpness became denser and more intense, barely perceptible and yet significant, paving the way for the handover to David Berg.
David seamlessly picked up on the prevailing sound, quickly pumping in a few bars of bass pressure and thus logically continuing the arc of tension created so far: Pounding manic-technoid beats, which David was known for in clubs such as U60311/ Frankfurt a.M. or Level 6/ Darmstadt, were -hardly surprisingly- also well received by the Berlin audience, so that the joint raving intensified further.
The dance night ended with a final b2b of the three DJ friends in an aura of enthusiastic certainty: The “Hessian takeover” project made the Berlin dance crowd happy! This moment of happiness-echo multiplies the one in the ravehearts of performing artists - it doesn't take much more to make a DJ blissful... close to the perfect emotion! But against perfection there is at least Deutsche Bahn as a last ressort.
Thanks all joiners for the good vibes 💖
