Dancehall Hot Again ♛ Caribbean Night on May 26, 2017

I was looking forward to this second "Caribbean Night" by Cranic Productions at Club Docks on the famous Reeperbahn in Hamburg this May and arrived at around 1 am on the night of 26th. So, I had time to chat with everyone before the party commenced fully to the sounds of the tried and tested Silly Walks Discotheque - a very nice selection of roots reggae - some of the tunes produced by the selector himself.

Digitek Intl. UK took over from Olli and continued the flow of good music, the hits of today in reggae and dancehall kept the massive dancing und until the early hours when King Pin of King Addies arrived and started his set with some oldies but goodies and took us along on a ride through the times of reggae history to the modern day dancehall to soca selections setting quite a fast pace always sprinkling in some dubplates along the way.

The sounds on the main stage were King Addies Music (Brooklyn/New York)
Olli of Silly Walks (Hamburg)
Digitek Intluk (Grenada/New York)

In the meantime, on the Reggae Floor Crucial B of Crucial Vibes Soundsystem (Hamburg) and DJ Ready Boxer (Barbados/Hamburg) were spinning the tunes and created some foundation vibes. At a later hour some soca tunes were heard there, something DJ Ready Boxer specialises in.

Digitek Intl UK took over the decks once again in the early morning and kept those dancing who never seem to tire. Even the host decided to shake a leg. The mood was great until the last minute of the dance.

Once again a huge big up to the crew at Docks for being great hosts and particularly the lighting technician for the wonderful illumination which makes for great pictures - if I may say so myself! And last but not least, a huge "Thank You for an evening to remember" to the lovely hosts of Cranic Productions, Anna and Robbie!

Dancehall Hot Again ♛ Caribbean Night on May 6, 2017

May is a good month for reggae fans in Hamburg this year! "Caribbean Night" by Cranic Productions went down at Club Docks on the famous Reeperbahn in Hamburg on the 6th and will happen again on the 26th, giant lion head stage decoration and all!

The sounds were:

High Power Station (Berlin/Leipzig)

Digitek Intl UK (Grenada/New York)

And Crucial Vibes Soundsystem run by Crucial B (Hamburg) with foundation vibes on the 2nd floor

Big up Docks and the lighting technician for the wonderful illumination which makes my job easy! You can view the photos on my Facebook Photopage even if you are not on Facebook by clicking  here.

Worldbeat Club Mondial ♪♫♪ April 2017

"Club Mondial" hosted by World Beat Bremen e. V., sponsored by Cosmo (previously Funkaus Europa) took place on April 22, 2017. As usual it was held at Mensa Academia courtesy of the Bremen University of Arts - Music Branch. I enjoyed the evening with all the lovely guests.

The music on both floors was great! Of course, as usual I loved the reggae segments but also enjoyed the other music styles. Here is a sample from the club floor, ralph "von" richthoven:


So join us again at the next party on June 17, 2017 which will be the last before the summer break and will be held same place, same time. :-)

Worldbeat Club Mondial ♪♫♪ March 2017

"Club Mondial" hosted by World Beat Bremen e. V., sponsored by Cosmo (previously Funkaus Europa) was on again on March 18, 2017. As usual it was held at Mensa Academia courtesy of the Bremen University of Arts - Music Branch. It was lovely to see all the regulars and meeting some people for the first time. I was also very happy to meet a colleague of mine by coincidence!

The music on both floors was great! As you know, I am especially a fan of the reggae-segments... And - I'm hoping to see you all at the next party on April 22, 2017 at the same place and same time. :-)

As you all know, I will no longer be posting slide shows of my photos but will post a link to the respective album on my Facebook Photopage below where you can see all the photos even if you are not on Facebook:

Worldbeat Club Mondial ♪♫♪ February 2017

Contrary to the last event, the day was almost spring-like so the night of February 18, 2017 was not really cold and it was also the day of Bremen Samba Carnival. So a lot of regulars at "Club Mondial" hosted by World Beat Bremen e. V., sponsored by Cosmo (previously Funkaus Europa) and held at Mensa Academia courtesy of the Bremen University of Arts - Music Branch had already celebrated throughout the day and did not attend the party. So, hopefully, we will see you all at the next party on March 18, 2017.

Take a listen to one of Gülbahar Kültür's sets of the night:

The next event will be held at the same place, same time on March 18, 2017! I look forward to seeing you again! :-)

Dancehall Hot Again ♛ Caribbean Night on February 2017

The 2017-series of "Caribbean Night" promoted by the lovely Anna and Robby John of Cranic Productions kicked off on February 4 and, of course, I had to photograph the event at Club Docks on the famous Reeperbahn in Hamburg!

On the main floor the following three sound systems were playing some boom sounds and created a great atmosphere with many forwards and a massive that was ready to move! They were:

Fyah Princess (Berlin)
Running Irie Sound (Wuppertal)
Barney Millah (Berlin)

On the 2nd floor Crucial Vibes Soundsystem run by Crucial B (Hamburg) and Maikel the Operator (Hamburg) were chilling out with foundation vibes. Unfortunately, Dial Tone Empire (London/Grenada) couldn't make the evening because their flight was cancelled. So sorry but I'm sure they will be around another time.

Once again, the giant lion head stage decoration was illuminated by the lighting technician with his light show and provided a great backdrop for my photos!

As announced previously, I will no longer be posting slide shows of my photos but will post a link to the respective album on my Facebook Photopage below where you can see the photos even if you are not on Facebook:

Worldbeat Club Mondial ♪♫♪ January 2017

January 14, 2017 was a freezing night but it didn't stop the people from attending "Club Mondial" hosted by World Beat Bremen e. V., sponsored by Cosmo (previously Funkaus Europa) and held at Mensa Academia courtesy of the Bremen University of Arts - Music Branch. To the contrary, I saw a lot of familiar faces and met many people who came to dance and enjoy the vibe for the first time.

One guy was dancing so vigorously and swinging his lady around, he almost knocked me over and I just about missed the concrete pillar with my lens. Phew! That was a bit exciting! Of course, a couple of other guys immediately rushed to my aid as the tone at this party is always very friendly. I was ok though, no harm done.

As you will notice as a regular from the flyer for the DJ-listing, a very cheerful King Ralph was standing in for DJ Viram. The Clubfloor-sound was provided by Ralph "von" Richthoven sampled here:



and Biljana sampled here:

DJ Pablo Cuesta uploaded three segments of his sets:

I cannot believe it is already two weeks since this party! The next event will be held at the same place, same time on February 18, 2017! I look forward to snapping you up again! :-)
