DEMF / Movement 2009 review
I’m not witnessing stadium rock or stadium love, like pop band Metric’s new song depicts in their newest album. No - Instead I’m witnessing stadium techno. It’s Saturday night, May 24th 2009 in Detroit, and Carl Cox is playing some pounding techno anthems to a crowd of fans with their hands in the air, fists pumping, feet moving and heads bouncing.

Bacala
Stephan Hinz [Audiomatique Records]...
Berliner Stephan Hinz
says on his MySpace page: “I really love music from people like Apparat, Sigur Ros, Coldplay, Barry White, Rachmaninov, Bela Bartok and so many more.
“It’s a big failure to confine oneself to just one genre or something like that...I try to listen to as much as I can.
“It’s so fantastic and exciting to find something you never heard before or something you heard a long time ago but with other ears.”
As a DJ and radio show host for his own show ‘Dasding Plattenleger’ on Berlin stations SWR DASDING and SR UNSERDING, Hinz listens to a lot of music in addition to producing his own.
Now Hinz has just completed a new EP called ‘Bacala’ on Audiomatique Records.

JPLS on his new ‘Combination EP’ for Minus
JPLS
made his first Minus appearance on 2006’s ‘min2MAX’ compilation.
He also performed live that year in Detroit for the ‘min2MAX’ launch showcase.
JPLS’ sound is cerebral and heady dub-infused techno that is strictly experimental but dancefloor oriented.
His latest release in September this year is the ‘Combination EP’, which follows his ‘Twilite’ release on Minus![[a]](http://www.beatportal.com/images/site/misc/wiki_box_a.gif)
(check the EP in the player below).
We like JPLS’ style a lot, so we grabbed him for a few questions.

Meet the French jesters, dOP
The trio dOP are the latest French sensation, but unlike Justice
or Daft Punk
, or disco house or any other French sound that might come to your mind, dOP sound more like Nôze.
Beatportal grabs Dam from dOP to ask him some questions, but it ends up turning into a joke fest.

Misstress Barbara’s Live ‘I’m No Human’ Tour
Last weekend in Toronto Misstress Barbara performed one of the first live performances to showcase the work from her upcoming artist album entitled ‘I’m No Human’ which will be properly released in 2009.
Her live performance at ‘This is London’ featured the band she created to tour with her to play the songs off her new album.
On stage, Misstress Barbara did the vocals and programming, and her new band mates pitched in.
Mathieu Brault was on bass guitar, and Matai Dubus was on keyboards.
Even as a DJ, Misstress Barbara had a strong almost theatrical stage presence.
Her energy levels are high and as a singer she was no less intense than would be expected.

An interview with the director of Berlin Calling: Hannes Stoehr
Berlin Calling is a melodramatic tragic comedy set in the world’s most recognizable and bustling hub of dance music activity today.
It is brilliantly done as it depicts Berlin’s underground techno scene, with DJ Ickarus at the centre of it all.
He’s engaged in the scene with all of its glory – full of hedonism - dancing, music, sex, and drugs.
To create the film set, real clubs in Berlin were rented out for film shoots.
From Bar 25 and Maria Club, to scenes from Alexanderplatz U-bahn station, the film Berlin Calling certainly makes no disguise of the place, and Berlin is a real character.
Reality is what is aimed at and achieved by director Hannes Stoehr in his third feature length film.
In conversation with Hannes after his appearance and the screening of Berlin Calling during the Toronto International Film Festival, Hannes explained a bit more about the making of Berlin Calling.
