- 24. April 2009 -

The PRIVAT crew invited us over to Milan-Italy for a true special:

…

Berlin Mitte Institut vs. Berlin Kreuzberg Institut

- Showcase featuring -

Robosonic (Diskomafia, Berlin Kreuzberg Institut)
Kandel (Autist, Diskomafia, Berlin Mitte Institut)
Fresh Meat (Berlin Mitte Institut, Delikat)
warmup: Radio Marelli (Gasoline Rec, Milan)

…

The event took place in a stripped-down industrial location on the outskirts of the city.  We had a great time - even when the party was busted around 2am by the police due to some legal shiznitt  (and because the place was overcrowded).

The file includes room mike recordings and various interviews on the concept of Privat Party and Techno Music in Milan.

Friday 24 april:

6:00: Sacha Robotti [½ of Robosonic] gets up, brushes teeth, gets dressed, packs stuff, rushes down to the cab where Cord Henning Labuhn [½ of Robosonic] is already sitting with tired eyes and a smile.

6:30: Friendly turkish cab driver stops at the bakery so the Berlin Kreuzberg Institut can get some Croissants & Börek (which will stay in the bag til Sunday, half-eaten)

7:45: Berlin Kreuzberg Institut meets Berlin Mitte Institut (Matthias Kandel aka Kandel & Jan Kühn aka Fresh Meat) at Schönefeld airport. Excitement in the air. Ryanair staff is surprisingly friendly. On check-in, Kandel & Fresh Meat have to switch on their laptops to prove they didn’t turn their machines into bombs.

8:45: “Goode morninge laydiese anda gentellemen thissise youre captaine speakinge”. Lovely airplane speakers. No turbulences. The alps look beautiful!

10:15: Touchdown in Milano / Bergamo, out of there pretty fast as we only have handluggage. Meeting our driver Conni, supernice guy, 40minute ride into the city.

11:00: Drop off at Fausto’s (organizer of Privat Party with Oliver) in Milan centre. Fausto’s place is small and cosy and you have to access through a midget door into a courtyard: BMI & BKI’s home for 2 days.

11:30: Meeting Fausto & Oliver accross the street in a café. Cappuccino.

12:15: Lasagna, Pasta with Salmon, Chinotto, Cappuccino at the place where Conni’s girlfriend works. Mmmmh..

13:00: Pier from Milan-based DJ duo Radio Marelli takes BMI & BKI to the Radio Popolare studios on the outskirts of Milan. Radio Popolare is a left-wing FM station broadcasting in the whole of Italy. We got 15 minutes on air and are very late.

13:30: BMI & BKI get interviewed by a fast-speaking sympathetic Italian. The radio hosts wants us to talk about the BMI & BKI concepts, the “East and the West thing”, about partying in Berlin and why we love what we do. The language barrier makes Robotti talk most of the time in his (semi-)fluid Italian. The Radio Popolare hosts play a 90s-sounding breakbeat song and falsely announce it as a “BMI track” - bloindin!

14:00: Cappuccino. Ride back to town centre.

15:00: Facing the first technical problems, as the guy who was supposed to get the internet running at the “Spazio Maderna” party location [so we could stream the whole evening live on web tv Shouted FM] never showed up. Fausto found a USB mobile phone card internet connection, which at least permitted us to stream Live Audio via a Nokia. We all hoped that it would work when 1500 Italians are dancing at the location and sending SMS.

16:00: Cord & Kandel chillout at Fausto’s place, while Robotti & Fresh Meat drive off to the location to soundcheck.

17:00: “Spazio Maderna” party location is a big industrial hall in an industrial area with a massive soundsystem. Barely any party lighting, no visuals, just plain concrete, metal and later on the crowd. Rave 1.0. Sound is super loud and bassy. Fresh Meat hooks up his mike and gets the Nokia stream running, it all seems to work. Back to Fausto’s. Italians drive well, but fast! In his next life, Conni will be a rally driver.

18:00: Supermarket to get everything a DJ needs to survive a night of hard work. Siesta time for BMI & BKI at Fausto’s. Some of us try to sleep while others show off their Traktor system, firing up the obvious “Vinyl vs. CD vs. Digital-DJ” talk.

20:00: Shower, get dressed, pack stuff, smoke a cigarette. Cappuccino. Waiting for Conni - who we’re supposed to meet at 21:15 for dinner but who is instead spending quality time at the police station to claim his car papers were stolen.

21:30: Cab to “Don Gio”, nr.1 pasta place in Milan. Salty bruschettas with anchovies, red wine, pasta with chicken, sausage, tomato sauce. Of course: strong Espressos as desert. Home sweet home!

23:30: “Spazio Maderna”. Radio Marelli warms up, place fills up. Free entry - just the drinks cost a little more. Fresh Meat starts interviewing people and feels in his element like a fish in the water.

00:30: Kandel & Fresh Meat tag, place is packed by now, people have their first drink.

01:00: Robosonic take over, place is rather packed by now, slowly turning up the volume.

01:30: Crowd starts to bounce, suddenly Fausto runs up telling us the police is at the door threatening to close the place as too many people are inside (1500) and too many people are standing outside trying to get in (2500).

01:45: Slowly turning down the volume. 1500 Italians sing football-type songs and “turn the volume up” and are coming up to the DJ booth to ask what the hell’s wrong. Repeated “scusa ma la polizia ci ha detto di spegnere la musica” about 100 times.

02:00: Lights on, music out. Damn! Everybody leaves the place, the bouncers look solid. Packing our stuff, smoking a cigarette, saying “sorry sorry” to the remaining crowd. Fausto & Oliver say “sorry sorry” to us (blaming it on the owner of the location who apparently didn’t talk to the polizia before the party). They invite us to do this party again in a safe location in the upcoming months. Stay tuned!

03:30: Amnesia club. Jeff Mills is playing extremely hard techno!
