Welche traditionelle brasilianische Party wird in Brasilien am fettesten gefeiert? Ihr werdet “Karneval” antworten, richtig? Aber da Ihr liegt falsch. Die größte brasilianische Party ist die Festa Junina, die im ganzen Land während des Monats Juni gefeiert wird, und jetzt kommt sie auch noch nach Berlin! N bisschen was über die Geschichte: http://festajunina.eu/das-brasilianische-junifest/

Nach 5 Jahren Wahnsinn in London stellt die Festa Junina-Crew jetzt eine Party bei Tageslicht (nachts geht’s aber weiter) in Berlin auf die Beine mit allen traditionellen kulinarischen Festa Junina-Leckereien, eleganten und energiegeladenen brasilianischen Grooves, lauten Drums, Tänzen und den beklopptesten Spielen, die Ihr jemals spielen werdet. Und, nein, es ist nicht peinlich: http://festajunina.eu/games/

Die Party geht diesen Samstag, den 23.6., um 14:00 los, und Eintritt ist frei bis 22:00.

Ab 22:00 Uhr ziehen wir nach drinnen um, und da geht’s mit handfester Musik weiter von Künstlern, die mit dafür verantwortlich sind, dass die brasilianische Elektronikszene zu den dynamischsten und aufregendsten der Welt gehört!

Born in Brasília, Brazil, having discovered the house music in Australian lands, reaching a steady career in the chaotic-concrete-jungle of São Paulo, playing in countries such as Portugal, Spain, Netherlands, Denmark, Croatia, Chile, Germany and Sweden – just to name a few – Tatiana Sanches moved to Berlin searching for inspiration. Tati performed at Fusion Festival, Glade Festival, Boom Festival, Bar 25, Arena Club, Dedge Club (Brazil) and many others. At festa Junina she will play with Polly Phone, a talented German Dj whom she has been working with for some time now, promising us a “creative and unpredictable back to back dj set”. We’re looking forward to it, Tati! Let’s get to know her better.

Festa Junina Berlin: How would you describe your music to someone who’s never heard it before?
Tatiana Sanches: Deep, funk and sexy house music, with an experimental touch always!!

FJB: What is the craziest thing you’ve done in the name of music?
TS: I sold my car to buy my turntables, mixer and speakers, when I started to play as a dj. One of the best move I did in my life!

FJB: What come to your mind when you hear “Brazil” or “Festa Junina”?
TS: Music, warm vibes, fun, good food and drinks, nice people.

FJB: What is love?
TS: Sharing – Living – Feeling – Believing – Smiling – Crying – Dissolving

FJB: What is your favourite movie quote?
TS: “What if everything is an illusion and nothing exists? In that case, I definitely overpaid for my carpet.” Woody Allen

FJB: What tune will kick ass at the Festa Junina Berlin 2011?

I you are really into techno, then this post will be no news to you. Yes, we’re talking about Mark Hawkins, this acclaimed Dj and producer who took over dance floors worldwide with his cult 2001 Djax Up Beats debut “Ctrl Alt Delete”. Fusing raw Chicago styled beats with melancholic synth melodies in an abrasive fashion, Mark has been headlining parties all over Europe, from UK to Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Czech, Belarus, Ukraine and Russia, discovering many previously unknown scenes, events, Djs and producers. We are seriously excited to hear his live set at Festa Junina Berlin 2011. Check out his awesome website for more news about him and lots of cool mixes from various talented people at http://signalsfromsouthwark.com/ This is what he’s got to say:

Festa Junina Berlin: Who are you?

Mark Hawkins: I make music I like, influenced by sounds from the mid 90s coming out of Chicago, Detroit, Minneapolis, Cologne, Berlin, Munich, Paris, Eindhoven and many other places. I made records for Djax and Mosquito. I played in a lot of different clubs around the world, but this isn’t important to what I do right now. The moment is important, and making good music right now is important, much more important that any “Claims to fame” I might have.’

FJB: What is the craziest thing you’ve done in the name of music?

MH: Making it the centre of my life was probably the craziest thing I ever did for music, because it can mess with everything when you’re in that situation, your finances, your relationships, everything. Luckily I have now found an equilibrium, so these things aren’t so much of a problem. Getting into cars with random strangers and feeling lucky to still be alive just to get to the gig, and dealing with strange wannabee Ukranian gangster types probably also ranks up there quite highly!

FJB: We are taking you to a desert island now, but only for the weekend. What CD/vinyl are you taking with you?
MH: Com Truise’s new album which comes out next month.
FJB: YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!

FJB: What is your favourite movie quote?
MH: ‘We are all wired into a survival trip now. No more of the speed that fueled that 60′s. That was the fatal flaw in Tim Leary’s trip. He crashed around America selling “consciousness expansion” without ever giving a thought to the grim meat-hook realities that were lying in wait for all the people who took him seriously… All those pathetically eager acid freaks who thought they could buy Peace and Understanding for three bucks a hit. But their loss and failure is ours too. What Leary took down with him was the central illusion of a whole life-style that he helped create… a generation of permanent cripples, failed seekers, who never understood the essential old-mystic fallacy of the Acid Culture: the desperate assumption that somebody… or at least some force – is tending the light at the end of the tunnel.’

FJB: What is love?
MH: Being able to be totally yourself with your partner, shedding a tear to some part of a film or music.. stuff like that

We are very glad we found this man in time for our party. We really think he is a classic Festa Junina DJ: bubbly, sunny, eclectic and skillful! He will be the one in charge of moving everyone from the garden to the dance floor at the end of the day, and we are pretty sure it is gonna be an easy task for this German DJ who’s been playing electronic music with influences of jazz, funk, disco & soul for more than 18 years! He calls it “boogie-afro-jazz-tech-house”. We are looking forward to finding out what he means! Let’s talk to the fella.

Festa Junina Berlin: How would you describe your music to someone who’s never heard it before?
Curv: boogie-afro-jazz-tech-house => electronic music with influences of jazz, funk, disco & soul.

FJB: Who are you?
C: I am a Music, Design & Film Nerd. Practiced for 18 years as a DJ and since 2006 I Produce music for the label Vinyl Vibes Records. In October 2010 I published my first album “Curv – Between Here and Nowhere”, a pearl of which I am very proud. If you want to know more about me and my music, I recommend my web page www.justcurv.de

FJB: Is the bottle half full or half empty?
C: @ this moment: FULL, FULL, FULL…

This is Fobia, Seven Samurai Records owner and manager, or as she describes herself, “a brazilian djane, producer, sound engineer, samurai influenced freak”. Fobia is already pretty well known in the Breakcore/noise scene but this time she is paring up with Flipmatic to play a dub techno, back to back set. Yes, Fobia will slow it down a bit, but it will be still pretty fast and groovy for us! Let us get to know this lady a bit better.

Festa Junina Berlin: We are taking you to a desert island now, but only for the weekend. What CD/vinyl are you taking with you?
Fobia: A made specially for this trip “Best of Mike Patton” Compilation.
Festa: Yessssss!!!

FJB: How would you describe your music to someone who’s never heard it before?
F: Noisy, Intense, Experimental, Chaotic.

FJB: Who are you?
F: I am Fobia, a brazilian djane, producer, sound engineer, samurai influenced freak! I love crazy broken fast breaks and a lot of chaotic noise! I´m the kind of girl who lies down on the dance floor, closes her eyes and lets the music take her through the most beautiful and intense journeys. On the other hand I am also very effective and down on earth when I am working on band recordings and mixdowns. But no matter in which state I´m in, I can definitely say that I am a music addict and nothing (well almost nothing gives me this incredible feeling – where the world is in the right place and I can just let go and enjoy the great energy around me – like music does!

FJB: Is the bottle half full or half empty?
F: Half FULL

FJB: What is your favourite movie quote?
F: Seven Samurai: Kambei Shimada: Danger always strikes when everything seems fine.
