MyMy Talk about Berlin’s Creative ‘Bubble’

5 July, 2008 | 3.35AM

Section: Music News Topics: Beatport Blog
Written by: Amanda Connon-Unda

Nick Höppner and Lee Jones, one German native and one Londoner, along with Carsten Klemann form the trio known as MyMy.

By 2003 the trio’s music was being released on Playhouse records and was a big success in Berlin’s minimal techno scene and beyond.

To this day they continue to enjoy the creative atmosphere that Berlin’s Mitte provides them with.

In New York, the MyMy duo (who now play less often with Carsten), played an energetic expert set at Bar13.

After their set, in conversation MyMy shared their opinions on music and the Berlin scene.

Shopping at Ibiza’s Las Dalias hippy market

Last Saturday we visited Ibiza’s famous hippy market Las Dalias and discovered the meaning of personal shopping.

Not personal shopping in the shop-assistant-follows-you-around-and-licks-your-ass type of personal shopping, but shopping that was entirely a personal experience.

From the moment Beatportal walked through the opening of the Las Dalias hippy market the air was thick with the smell of fresh leather, incense and flowers.

It’s safe to say that nobody else has one of these in their studios… and I’ve used it to emulate this classic Beatport track.

It may or it may not be the last season for Berlin’s nuttiest restaurant/afterhours hang-out.

But whatever is going to happen at the end of this summer, Bar25 will live on, if only on DVD and as a record label.

All over Ibiza, the superclubs have their own stores selling branded gear, from Pacha, to Amnesia and Space.

Whilst some of it is predictably lame, there’s some cool stuff available for the summer months that will look exclusive in your country after you return from Ibiza.

Eric Prydz aka Pryda drops a bomb in Ibiza

Written by: Zack Rico

Eden in San Antonio, Ibiza used to be a bit of a dive but whoever runs the club now has done a fantastic refurbishment job.

The sound, lighting and atmosphere in the club is currently right up there with the best venues in Ibiza and with the right DJs the club could rejuvenate San Antonio town, which has a reputation for being a drink-and-fight-all-you-want-for-5-euros British hangout.

Here’s a video I filmed of Eric Prydz aka Pryda dropping a quality electro-tech track in the main room of Eden whilst the strobes pound the dancefloor into submission.

Eric Prydz dropped a bootleg of Prodigy’s ‘Breathe’ last Sunday at Eden superclub in Ibiza, during Pete Tong’s new Wonderland weekly.

Does revisiting it pay respect to the original or is it tantamount to sonic vandalism?

You decide, by watching the video after the jump.

Apparently, “The show must go on” is a motto that the Wild In The Country Festival’s organizers are plenty familiar with.

Due to be the Icelandic singer’s only UK appearance this season, Bjork has canceled her headlining performance at the event, citing its organization as “volatile”.

Additionally, experimental band Battles has confirmed they have also pulled out of the festival.

While most of us these days do our bit to help the environment on a day-to-day basis, how many of us consider the environmental impact of our beloved nights out?

A new organization called Club4Climate have decided it’s time that clubbing went green, too, and are opening what they claim is the world’s first fully ecological night club at Surya, King’s Cross, London, on July 10th.

But have they got their priorities straight?
