Techno Tales

Ali Tiefschwarz:
...We always come into a city where we’re invited, where we’re a guest. I created this term for a German interview – “inner-circle tourism.” You’re not coming as a tourist, you don’t have to grab a book and read about the nice hotels, restaurants and museums…you come and people take you inside the scene, and that’s something you never discover as a normal tourist. We have the chance to see the whole world through a different perspective. It’s kind of a social study as well, I really love travelling so for me it’s double the pleasure...
...In the beginning we didn’t even mix; we just learned it by doing. The people were so open-minded, they just came to have a good time. It was all very art-related and conceptual. It was a crazy time. It was not only about dancing, it was also celebrating and partying with weird mottos. For instance, when the wall came down between east and west Germany, we had an “East Germany” party - we were building a wall all around the club and had weird furniture and decorations from East Germany. We had funny table tennis parties with a fog machine and a strobe light and we’d lock the door – people were running around the table tennis for hours and hours. The fog machine was so strong you couldn’t see anything and the strobe light exploded because it was on for hours. It was just ridiculous, performance parties. People would grab all the toilet paper and wrap everybody in the club with toilet paper… We once had a heaven and hell party with two levels, upstairs was the bar lounge and downstairs was the club and my father was on the door deciding who would go to heaven and who would go to hell...

Kevin McHugh aka Ambivalent:
...Q...A: The strangest thing I ever saw in Berlin was a desiccated cat corpse in the corner of a party 3 stories underground. There was a spotlight on it like it was in an art gallery. At 10am we walked outside and knew how that cat felt.
...Q...A: Okay, here goes... I was in a private plane with a few friends. One of the people in the plane was _____, who had just been paid with a bag of ancient gold coins. We were flying over Macchu Picchu after a dinner of bottle-nosed dolphin steak smothered in rainforest tree-sap syrup. We'd all gotten totally drunk off a rare, fermented ox-milk. Delicious. Suddenly, ______ stands up, opens the plane door and starts throwing gold coins at the ruins. One of the groupies reigned him in and we all had a laugh. It wasn't until a year later when we found out that ______ ______ had almost given up DJing because he'd had a religious experience after a gold coin struck him in the head. Where? Machhu Picchu. And that's a heartwarming tale you can only get in the techno world.
P.S. One of those people was Troy Pierce. Another was Heartthrob.

...this album is back from June 2004 but I find it more interesting or warmer, I should say, than his latest two, Victimizer and Brone & Wait, eventhough Victimizer is a killer aswell in a more evolutive sense, enjoi)
