And Erik (Batlimoroder) and myself welcome REFUSENIK to Pan Am Fridays in a few days. At the Enormous Room.

Speaking In Code, the movie, is wrapping production in Germany. You can visit various links via the newish Google Blog search.

Director/Producer Amy Grill via Blackberry in Berlin:

“We shot several really excellent interviews in jena. After a year and a half of following the freude-am-tanzen crew they are able to be very honest, open, funny, sometimes sad always comfortable and human in their interviews. And their english is much better after more than a year of non-stop remix and gig offers and travels that have taken them from budapest to japan.

This time after a traditional east german meal (basically sausage, ketchup and noodles) and many glasses of red wine we did the final interview with gabor (in german). Is was nearly 2 hours and he talked in depth about why he took a break this summer and didn’t go to many of his gigs.

The purpose of this trip was to get more in depth interviews that give the stories more meaning and a solid backbone/structure. We already have plenty of coverage and footage with the artists in action (at work, play and travel).

We shot at Weekend and scott said - this is defintely the nicest club we’ve ever shot at - the soundsystem is really nice and clean. There was a sub the size of a small boat in the dj booth and you could feel the sound like gusts of reverbirating wind. Amazing. Chilling. So good. For the first time I stayed in the club well into the morning. I couldn’t stop dancing. Sasha killed it as the sun was beginning to come up (scott had left by then). And then ellen appeared again and dropped that super bass get physical track - I nearly lost it. It was after 10am when I took the elevators back down to the lobby. Weekend is in a skyscraper.”

Sounds like good stuff.

Make It New is filled with discoid madness. The idea that techno/house came from disco is finally cementing itself as fact and dance music couldn’t be happier.

Justus Kohncke of Kompakt Records draws immeasurable inspiration from disco. His touch is high-hat euphoria time and time again. On our New Year’s night, with the special help of Joseph Colbourne, this track became a must-play.

The treatment here of Zero 7 is pretty excellent, and the rip, clearly from a piece of vinyl, only adds to its natural feel:

Zero 7 (feat. Sia) - “You’re My Flame (Justus Kohncke Remix)”
