Worldbeat Club Mondial ♪♫♪ January 2016

"Club Mondial" hosted by World Beat Bremen e. V. sponsored by Funkaus Europa and held at Mensa Academia underneath the University of Arts - Music Branch is well on its way to becoming a staple in Bremen's nightlife and party-scene. The January edition was held on January 16, 2016.

We had had the first snow this winter so it was expected to be fairly empty because people prefer to stay at home on nights like this. However, to my surprise, quite a few guests had arrived by the time I got to the venue and more were steadily pouring in until around 2 a.m. Nevertheless, there was ample space to dance for those who attended this party for that purpose.

The music was great (please refer to the flyer above for the line-up) and the mixed crowd was pleasant. Because I am always curious, I found out that one young man from Uganda was out for the first time ever in Germany. I hope it was a great start for him. :-)

Worldbeat Club Mondial ♪♫♪ December 2015

World Beat Bremen e. V. hosted another "Club Mondial" sponsored by Funkaus Europa and held at Mensa Academia, the trusted venue underneath the University of Arts - Music Branch on December 12, 2015

This time the organisers had changed the set up a little and ~ I assume because it was a very rainy night ~ the venue was not as packed out as the last time. It was pleasantly crowded and we could dance and enjoy the music and lights without bumping into someone every two seconds. :-) Please refer to the flyer for the line-up!

Dancehall Hot Again III - December 2015

The lovely Anna and Robby John of Cranic Production hosted their third event in the series "Dancehall Hot Again" on the famous Reeperbahn in Hamburg on December 11! The headliner was Lionface aka Babyface formerly King Addies out of New York City! The other sounds present were all local and the vibe was wonderful.

Anna & Robbie

When I arrived there was a huge Christmas market in front of the venue but I didn't manage to take any pictures because it was raining and cold and I just wanted to get inside where I saw a giant lion head hanging over the stage. This was kindly arranged by Club Docks and made for some good photos while the DJs were doing their thing.

Soundgirl and Soundboys

Backstage there was food, cooked by the host himself, fruit and home made rum punch for those who wanted to have a drink. I only tasted it because I was driving but let me tell you, it was delicious as was the vegetarian food!

The massive celebrated the various playlists and especially that of Lionface because he brought the special New York vibe with him. Enjoy the photos, that ~ in my humble opinion ~ speak for themselves.

Worldbeat Club Mondial

World Beat Bremen e. V. invited me to document their party "Club Mondial" which was sponsored by Funkaus Europa and held at Mensa Academia, a very nice venue underneath the University of Arts - Music Branch on October 24, 2015.

Because the venue is not super-sized it was totally packed out and one could hardly move when I arrived. They do have a very nice courtyard but being the end of October, there really was no incentive to use it - even though it was not a rainy night. When we needed a breather - or a smoke in some cases - we used the yard in front of the building which is completely covered in white tarpaulin (or plastic) for renovation at the moment.

Well, what can I say, the party was a scorcher, the guests were in the best of spirits and danced to their hearts' content when they found the space to do so. The line-up was as follows:

@Mensa Floor – Global Pop

DJ Pablo (Latino Urbano, HB) – Styles: Reggaeton, Salsa, Mestizo, Afro, Merengue, Reggae
DJ Gülbahar Kültür (Lolas World Rec.) – Styles: E-Swing, Bollywood, Neo-Soul, Oriental, Balkan

@Club Floor – Global Bass

DJ Viram (Kantine 5, HB)
DJ Ralph “von” Richthoven (Funkhaus Europa)
Styles: Deep-House, Afro-House, Latin-Minimal, Tribal-House, Oriental-House, Soul-Re-Edits
