Ok ok, it was Nas and Damian Marley but Nas was my first love… Our love was a bit, let’s say colder the last couple of years since he missed showing up at the Splash Festival a few years ago. So I thought our love is over until he came up with his new album with Damian Marley that Philipp is always listening to. So we joined the nice concert yesterday! NAS I LOVE YOU!
I finally managed to get my good old friend Dako in front of the camera. With Out For Fame, he still keeps doing his stuff organizing the concerts with people you’ve always wanted to see as a mid-nineties rap-head.

We had a wunderful night with a few bloggers from Hamburg! While drinking a few Alster in front of the KombĂĽse, Philipp and I met up with all the others. A few were missing because of the soccer championship. ;) Next round is coming, that’s for sure!
Drauf, Takemetotheponyranch, Style is the Alibi, Lachsbrötchen, Bohème sur le Kiez, New Way to Walk, Vergissmeinnicht, kathrynsky’s, I love Ponys and Pelageia
Now we have been in Hamburg a few days and yesterday we went to our first concert in quite a while, Dead Prez at Waagenbau. The place was crowded and the crowd crazy as hell. It felt a bit like standing in a finish sauna with sweat dripping from the roof. It’s bigger than…

After picking up my diploma at Berghs SoC including the the last dinner with my fellow students, we met up with Rahel and Eric at Galleri Kleerup to see the Delta Exhibition. Funny how history can bring people back together again. Rap verbindet! Ne Anna!? ;-) Cold beer and great graphics before we went on to Strand for a few more. Always fun to see how different clubnights can be. Or have you ever seen people play ping-pong aka “Rundlauf” in a club? Still have to smile when I think about it…
Philipp
ps. Sind wir nicht alle ein bisschen Rap?
We were out having a few beers at Caliroots. Shitxfaced launched a new colorway of their decks and celebrated it with a photo-exhibition with photos of Fredrik Skogkvist following the crew for 24 hours. Thanks for a nice evening and a slight hangover!

One of the nicest stores in Hamburg “Yeahboy” is coming with a secret event on the 22.05.2010 with a unique secret location. So better don’t miss it! All you need to do is to register yourself on the “www.hustle4society.com“. Have fun! We would definitely go if we could!
I can’t really say how many beers and jägermeisters were involved in this evening, but what I can say is: If you would see all the pictures you would recognize that everyone makes the same face over and over again. ;)
Last week we were at the Jedi Mind Tricks concert at Debaser Medis right around the corner of our “new” home on Södermalm. Luckily RA the Rugged Man was featured so it was well worth a visit. Since we were there mostly to see him perform, we didn’t get that many pics on the Jedi Minds, sorry! ;-) The place was really crowded and it was good to see some things are still alive, even this far up north. But please dear Swedes: Please learn how to handle the alcohol. Y’all drink one beer and get really nuts… Prost,

Here comes the first part of our video diary from our Hamburg trip. It feels good to be home! Nothing has changed on the Kiez. And by the way: If you wonder about the Mickey Mouse voice at some places in the video, it is Sevda not being able to be quiet! ;-)

It feels like we have never been away. Yesterday we had a tuff program! After a flight from Stockholm to Hamburg at noon, a great christmas dinner at “Ă–z Antep” we first went to Mirko Machine‘s aka Santa’s “Flavour of the Month” at GrĂĽner Jäger. Later we dropped in at Buzz-T‘s and Mixwell‘s Jeudi-Party at Baalsaal. Thanks for great sounds, a lot of headbangin’ and plenty of drinks! A bit hungover we went to the movies today and watched “Avatar” in 3D. Awesome! Go and see the movie if you can! Another tip is “Where the wild things are” that we watched a few days ago. Two really great movies that definitely are worth watching in the cinema. Now some sofa-time and a nice glass of red wine. ;-)

Yesterday we were at our first rap concert here in Stockholm at Ljunggren! With a line-up consisting of Masta Ace, Edo G and last but not least Akrobatik, it was close to the best start we could have. Thank you guys for a great show and a lot of songs bringing that good spirit to Stockholm. Here are some impressions from the evening. My head still hurts, there is something strange with that swedish beer…

Yesterday, Philipp and I were at the “Glacéau Vitaminwater Launch Party” with “The Misshapes“. It was not allowed to take photos inside the location. I think it was because some “real” swedish celebrities were at the party ;) But since we don’t know them ;) we can’t tell you who was there ;) But all the other bloggers where there. Some outlaws took some pictures so if you wanna see what was up there, have a look at “Rodeo“, “People” and “StockholmStreetStyle“. We just took some boring photos with the Photoautomat at the Party ;)
Miss “not always so close with the camera” Lynn, Philipp and I had a really nice evening at the launch-party for “David & Martin” for “Weekday” yesterday. It was in the nice studio/showroom of “David & Martin“. I think I need the skull t-shirt and a “HĂĽhnerkralle”.
… but you haven’t been been so nice to me until now, Hamburg! Since we are living in Stockholm, I notice more and more what a cool place Germany is. It was a slow process but people from all over the world like you more and more. In Stockholm you see people with “PLUS-Jutebeutel”, “Atomkraft Nein Danke-Button” and “Tokio Hotel-Shirt”. “Tokio Hotel“, like them or not, but they represent a whole generation from all over the world. Almost like “The Who” or “The Beatles“. Hey, that’s not so bad for a band from the middle of nowhere in eastern Germany! ;) Germany is cool and got it’s own style. It doesn’t matter if you are rich or not, it’s more about creativity and who you are. It’s nice to walk through the streets and see so many different things living in symbiosis. I like it and I miss it! People from Germany, don’t be so absolute and do not say: Deutschland is ja voll scheisse (Germany is totaly weak), because that is not true! Germany, you have style, more than you think! And my personal tribute to the person who did the “Welt…
Hip-Hop is so uncool, especially the German one. Electronica forever! Fuck it! You always got to filter the good from the bad! So why be lazy these days? There is still a lot of good stuff out there. Like the king of rap Kool Savas I’m still “auf dem Rapfilm hängengeblieben”. Check the video here. We were at the Ăśbel & Gefährlich. The Astra was great, concert dope and we met a lot of old nice friends as well as some other funky dudes. Thanks for a great evening Hamburg!

In one of the “Monki Stores” was a little party yesterday. They showed a few of their new dresses for the upcoming party season. If you are wondering about the woman on the first picture and you are thinking: Hm, I know her in a way. It’s “Eleonre from Ytligheter” who is working at “Monki. Make sure that you don’t miss the Monki & Weekday Opening Party in Hamburg on the 6th November, because it’s nice to meet people in this way.
Yesterday, “Lynn“, Philipp and I were at the “Weekday – Stine Goya Release Party“. It’s really strange to go to these kind of partys. It’s like walking through the internet, because you see all the bloggers that you that know from their blogs. ;) So you are standing there and next to you is sitting, let’s say “The Kid from Rodeo“. I really love her pictures and it’s one of my favorite blogs. You see Daniel and Caroline of “StockholmStreetStyle” at work and there is “Filippa” crossing you. Funny. The list would be to long to write everyone. Just check your reader to see who also was there. By the way, I like the “Stine Goya for Weekday Collection.
Stockholm people don’t forget: this weekend will be “STHLM FASHION MARKET“. More than 80 Brands will sell their stuff for 50%-90% less than normal. On more than 2200 qm you will find Brands like: Filippa K, Camilla Norrback, Fräulein Von Hast, Noir Et Blanc, Ida Pyk, Garde-Robe and Ulrika Sandström. Have a look at their website for the hole brandlist. If you are living somewhere else just book a flight to Stockholm ;) Vi ses.
Don’t miss the book release and exebition of “BlĂĽtezeit – Prime time of my life” at the “mono concept.store“. “Nils MĂĽller” is one of the best Graffiti Life Action photographer and he will show some of his picture which he did as he was travelling through europe. The vernissage will be on the 17. September 2009 at 19.00. “After-Show-Party” will be at the Bernsteinbar at 00:00.

Yesterday Laura and I went to the Opening Party of the “Creators Inn by Elvine“. Elvine” decided to offer a free short-term accommodation to give creative people the chance to visit Stockholm. In the heart of Södermalm at the “Scanic Malmen” they built up a hotel in hotel. Musicians have the possibility to records something during there stay with the equipment they in there. So if you are a creative one, try to get a night there. You will definitely enjoy your time at the room.
Swedish people knows how to make a good magazines. My favorite one is a free magazine called “people“. Yesterday was a launch party of the new issue. You can check it out online at the “people website“.
(Shoes – Dr. Martens, Socks – H&M, Leggi – H&M, Shorts – Weekday, Top – C.W for Weekday, Blazer – H&M, Scarf – Monki)
We had a really nice start at the “Popaganda” yesterday, even though Philipp did not feel so good. Everyone is kind of sick in Stockholm right now, so we didn’t stay that long. The “Lykkle Li” show was really fantastic and “Steve Aoki” rocked the crowd from the first second of his set. I didn’t know that “Lykkle Li” is that famous in sweden. But we noticed a few funny things for “continental-europeans” ;)
Don’t get that wrong, cause we like to live here but we have to write it down ;)
…
Festivalseason is starting for us ;). We will be at the “Popaganda” in Stockholm this weekend. A bit late but better then nothing. I’m a bit excited about my first swedish festival, because I don’t know so many swedish artitsts. Of course I know “Lykke Li“, “MGMT” and yeah I’m happy to the the show of “Steve Aoki“. Hopefully the weather will be fine.
Swedish people know how to deal it! Whenever something is going on there is an event. We also had been at the “Mishka instore release at Monkey Bizz“. Philipp found this “Mishka” shirt in a bright colorway. It’s not black ;) and I think I need one of those pillows.
We were on the release party of the “Weekday Socks” yesterday. The locations was really nice and the people there had such a good time. We came home with some really colorful socks ;) My favorite were the orange/pink ones and Philipp took the yellow ones.
EDIT: See more pictures on the weekday website or People Magazine
We now got ourselves a new home! The best thing is we have a elevator. Yeah! But Philipp told me that most of the houses have one. Surrounded by water on little island waiting for Buzz-T and his girlfriend to hit the road for the first time.
Yesterday a good old friend of mine threw a concert at the Fundbureau in Hamburg with one of my alltime favorite rap-duos EPMD. Performing classics like “Rugged’N Raw“, “You Gots To Chill“, “So Whatcha Sayin“, “Music” and many many more, they delivered one hell of a show!!! So if you’re near Cologne today, be sure you don’t miss the show in the Essigfabrik tonight!
