The sound of 2011 recap: fanni

2011 has been one hell of a crazy ride in all parts of this life of mine and a just-as-crazy amount of amazing music has delivered the soundtrack to all the craziness. (Plus crazy seems to be my favourite word of the year.) Starting this blog together with my favourite Berliner Julia has allowed slash forced me to spend hours and hours and hours on discovering new sounds, talking to bands and planning shows and I’ve loved every bit of it. Sue me, this is making me nostalgic like shit. So here’s the essence of what my year sounded like. Full of highs and lows.

Eternal Summers – Pure Affection (Beach Fossils remix)

Blackbird Blackbird – Hawaii (Niva remix)

M83 - We Own The Sky (Maps remix)

2raumwohnung – Wir Werden Sehen (Solomun Vox remix)

Modeselektor – Art & Cash (SBTRKT remix)

Chrome Sparks – All There Is (ft. Steffaloo)

Gardens & Villa – Star Fire Power

Slow Magic – Corvette Cassette

BRAHMS – Add it up

Touchy Mob – Crooked Lust

Papercuts – Boys of Summer (Don Henley cover)

We Have Band – Still Life (The Horrors Cover)

Dillon – Willem (Bodi Bill cover)

Artist discovery of the year: Flume

Soundtrack of the year: Efterklang - An Island

Show of the year: Fink - Berlin, Passionskirche Kreuzberg, October 15

Mashup of the year: Beyonce vs. Beastie Boys – Girls on Girls (Captain Cuts Mashup)

Germany Germany – Transatlantic

The independent music project from Victoria / Canada that is Germany Germany (Oh, what a name! Oh, why that name?) was already featured in my recent post about Toy Camera – a collaboration between Germany Germany and Steffaloo. Drew Harris, the man behind Germany Germany himself sums up his work with the word “Adventures”. Which is perfectly cohesive with the DIY aesthetic that forms the basis of the sound of Germany Germany: “the intention of creating something unique rather than something perfect”. Which is possibly also why his latest EP, out May 2011, is entitled Adventures. Transatlantic is one of my favourite tracks on the EP and I fell in love with the simply yet artsy yet authentic video right away.

Isn’t it exciting when to of your favourite artists unite to produce something even more banging than each one of them would on their own? It is indeed. this time, Steph Thompson aka Steffaloo (who was also featured in my last post, yes, and yes, I seem to be slightly obsessed with her stuff, and yes, this is not gonna be the last post on her) joined forces with Germany Germany for their collaboration project Toy Camera. their new ep blissful youth was released today & is available for free here.
