  • Last Day – Kollektiv Turmstrasse

    I was first introduced to Kollektiv Turmstrasse some four years ago when at Cocoon’s now defunct Green and Blue festival. I was literally blown away. Their set surged through a toe-tapping beginning to a point where the crowd – myself included – were wholly lost in euphoric dreamland. On this chilly February morning, ‘Last Day’…

  • Double Trouble celebrate Rhythmatic’s 3rd birthday with headliner Marco Carola

    On sitting down in a café in Spitalfields, it’s immediately hard not to be charmed by Kiri and Kostas Poulos. Brothers, twins and rock solid friends, the duo also go by the name of Double Trouble Productions and are the team behind the international Rhythmatic nights too. With over ten years experience, the boys have worked…

  • Head cinema with Kollektiv Turmstrasse

    Back in September, I met up with friends from across the pond for Cocoon’s Green and Blue festival in Frankfurt. An ace time was had by all, but one of the highlights by far was experiencing the live sounds of German tech duo Kollektiv Turmstrasse.

  • London, Berlin & a detour to Russia thanks to Andrey Pushkarev

    Last week I was back in Berlin and despite being sorely disappointed by the lack of European sunshine, I discovered something, or rather someone, on my final day who injected more than a few heart-warming rays into my trip. The person responsible? Russia’s finest export, minimal tech producer Andrey Pushkarev. In a controversial switch from…

  • Will Chris Tietjen Rocket Germany’s Temperature Above Freezing?

    It’s October. In Germany, it’s already minus seven degrees at night, so who better to step up to the challenge of getting the countries temperature, and pulse, royally roasting other than Cocoon regular Chris Tietjen? On Saturday November 28th, home grown tech DJ Tietjen will take to the decks at Gloria’s in Regensburg, and as…

  • The Amnesia I Will Never Forget

    Arriving home at 7am yesterday, it really felt like a week in Ibiza had just melted into one as it completely flew by.  However, I’m delighted to say that not only was it the best holiday of my life, it was also throughly a thirtieth to remember thanks to one incredible night; Cocoon at Amnesia.…
