[Musik] Haze - 76 bars (and free mixtape link)

"Locker bisschen Billiard, bisschen Motocross - Aprilia."

Found this lately. Usually I'm not that much into German HipHop these days. Especially when it's this flavored with the typical more-or-less-wanna-be street attitude. But this one is different:


To start with: This is one hell of a beat, damn.. rolling, in your face boom bap material. Feels almost familiar. Sick. And it fits Haze's rap perfectly. 76 in-your-face bars. Haze never looses that easiness and coolness that makes a good flow great. Always three notches ahead of the average street MC. Definitely worth listenig to, if you like(d) rap. And if you're originally from Karlsruhe, like I am, you will love how the local slang shines through his lines occasionally. As if done on purpose in just the exact right amount.



Need more? Here's the link to get the free Haze Mixtape/Album.




"Verstehsch!?"

[Music] Drown in Frustration - Mid-90s Hardcore Punk from South Germany

I found this tape last week. The band is called Drown In Frustration and a dear friend of mine was part of it. I guess it was released around '96, but I can't tell for sure. The first track "Shine" definitely is my favorite. If I recall correctly, it was featured in a compilation back then, and was kind of an underground hit, but that might just be my perspective. Tune though. Big tune.






FYI: This tape was recorded and uploaded to my YT-channel in full compliance with the band. No innocent copyrights harmed.

[EVENT] This is for Losers





























To enscribe to artistic study courses at universities, candidates usually have to turn in some of their work in advance. I am not sure if showreel is the correct word here, we call it Mappe in Germany. Based on the works in this Mappe, the responsible officials choose the people that will be allowed to study in the respective course. Obviously this is kind of bullshit, since the circumstances under which those works where created are unknown, also they don't cover all aspects that should be taken in consideration, like: former artistic education, talent, experience, open-mindedness, crazyness, drug-addictions and so forth...



For all those, who have been turned down but still believe in their stuff, here's a chance to get your work out to the public: 


THIS IS FOR LOSERS
