Why is World of Warcraft...

a way of life for a girl? Not only that in the game most of the people don’t even think I am a girl, the ones that do are pretty sure I look like hell, I’m a bloody freak and have no friends. When did MMORPG games became a “boys only”? That’s very frustrating! So dear all, I’m not ashamed to go out on the street, I’m normal enough (depends what this means for any of you) and have loads of friends. So whoever things anything else it’s just as stupid as a level 70 warrior equipped with a staff with +15 spell damage and enchanted with +30 intellect.



I love games and World of Warcraft is already a way of life for me. Played and loved Diablo, Fable, Dreamfall, Black and White and I hate Second Life (kept me in front of the PC for just 30 minutes).
As I have already friends that are into WoW as much as I am, so my free weekends sound more like “Hey! How are you? Get your arse online!” and not “Hey! How are you? Let’s grab a beer out”.
At the moment my main characters are a warrior called Loredana and a warlock called Lorisica. Since they are on separate accounts and at home we have 2 PCs but 3 WoW addicted players, I usually am “forced” to choose between them.
I like the warrior that is level but gotta agree that my favorite is the warlock, except my rogue and my priest, of course.
With other words, see you on Aerie Peak. As a friend said, “there is no real life, there is only afk”. Ha!

Net28 - album launched in 2007

short presentation of NET28's master piece compilation simply named 1, which features all NET28 stars: alex under, tadeo, damian schwartz, pilas...
defo one of the best compilations i heard lately - very deep, dark, but in the same time sexy - looking forward to rock the dance floor while alex and tadeo are spinning this tracks! viva el spanish techno <3
special thanks to jose @ NET28 for the words and the amazing shooting with the boys that made me laugh until i had tears in my eyes:


Tracklist:

01. From Karaoke to Stardom
02. Kevin Gorman
03. Tadeo
04. Damian Schwartz
05. Alex Under
06. Pilas
07. Friendly People
08. Hieroglyphic Being
09. Menisco
10. Circunbalation
11. Nate Fisher


Oh yeah!!! Finally!! The first NET28 compilation, “1”, with all our big stars & friends in a petit reunion. The first release from NET28, the label that embraces the efforts of Apnea, CMYKmusik, Cyclical Tracks and Mupa, in a series of compilations that will not stop, is an incredible collection of unreleased tracks. A project masterminded by the ones who run the business: Alex Under, Damian Schwartz, Tadeo & Imek.

What we have here is a deep journey that begins in Madrid (with all the usual suspects) and lands in France (From Karaoke To Stardom), UK (Kevin Gorman), USA (Hyeroglyphic Being) and Georgia (Nate Fisher). Every track is a must, a hit, a fucking brilliant sum of influences and new horizons. Techno in all its colours and forms, developing from the most atmospheric to the funkiest and darkest, paying due respects to Detroit, Cologne and Berlin, but reemerging as something totally new and fresh, as only our artists know how to do. An statement to celebrate our unique voice & groove.

From Karaoke to Stardom and his futuristic groove to the limit; Kevin Gorman bringing back all the funk in a compulsive rhythm adventure; Tadeo showing his most merciless face with a enormous stomper; Damian Schwartz rethinking the future and discovering new grounds with a massive rocking synth orgy; Alex Under and his unique way of understanding & producing music; Pilas going smooth and dreamy in a classic techno manner; Friendly People (aka Alex Under) turning off the lights and submerging us into a frighting odyssey; Hieroglyphic Being and Detroit is back as innovative as ever; Mensico (Pilas&Sintec) working it in a moody and heartless manner; Circunbalation (aka Tadeo) going eternal and delivering a timeless killer, possibly his biggest track till date; and finally Nate Fisher, with all the sophistication of the best house music.

Anything you want is here, and much more you could ever imagine...

Oups! We did it again! After winning the 4th position on RA Best Clubs as Atmosphere & Vibe, they bring on the Top 100 Clubs in the World. And what do we have here? Studio Martin is on the 17th position, which makes not just the 17th in the world, but the 1st in Romania. For more info click HERE.



Need to say more? Yes - the re-design project was approved and starting on Monday Studio Martin will get on its new cloths, cause it deserves it.
Be aware! Great line up coming over! See you on the 20th of September and thank you again for all your votes and for all the amazing nights we spent together and we still will. Don't forget to check Studio Martin's website and myspace.


Peace ;)

How foggy I am lately...

I know I didn't had much time to post lately even though I had a lot of ideas. The truth is I'm a bit tired after The Mission Dance Weekend. The event was great, we had like 10.000 people on the first night with Trentemoller live in concert, Roger Sanchez, Livio & Roby, Negru and Pagal and 30.000 people on the second one with Fatboy Slim, Timo Maas, Rosario & Eftimie and Negru. And because I'm one little greedy cat, after working so much 3 days in a row, I couldn't miss my dear Philipp and Patrick from M.A.N.D.Y. at La Mania. And neither the beach party next day on Kudos Beach. Greedy, greedy, I'm telling u! Trentemoller was by far the revelation of the year for me, amazing act. And Fatboy was fun, as usual, still have Bob Marley's Could You Be Loved in my mind, the track he end up his set with.

Not only that I'm still half retard (aka sleepy all the time, not in the mood for anything and acting like a little robot), but I'm already working on the new events. Short version is that we're having a new The Mission in October with a trance DJ (can't tell u which one, of course) and Studio Martin is opening its doors on the 20th of September with 2 special guests that I am really looking forward to seeing. Plus we're totally changing the club and it will be amazing! I know it!

The line up for Studio Martin until the end of the year it's so amazing that I really want the summer to pass by faster and faster. In August I'll go check out Booka Shade and Loco Dice at La Mania (won't miss Loco for nothing in the world) and probably the new Romanian Creamfields as we're taking Shlomi Aber there. Hope it will be good fun.

So until Autumn comes with great news from Studio Martin and The Mission I'll keep posting interesting news (for me, of course).

PS: Pictures from The Mission Dance Weekend down here ;)

Take care and rave safe my lovely ones!

* the stage before the madness began *

* with Georgi before the show, getting a bit sun burned, of course *

* oh yeah! *

How was The Mission Dance Weekend for Trentemoller and his band

In the images of a video of course. The guys took a camera with them at the last gigs and the result is this:

How was The Mission Dance Weekend for me

For me, for us. For the crew and its friends. You can see it all in this video which is made out of some of the pictures I took.

Enjoy :)

Studio Martin - RA Club Awards - Atmosphere&Vibe

Resident Advisor readers choose the best clubs worldwide as atmosphere & vibe. On the top 10 picks, near DC 10, Amnesia and Space Ibiza, Panorama Bar Berlin and Womb Tokyo, we find Studio Martin, Bucharest. Being on the 4th positions leads us to nothing but saying a HUGE THANK YOU to all the clubbers that contributed to the amazing vibe at our events during all these years.

We can't find the perfect words to describe what this awards means to us, specially considering that the votes come from you. So thank you, thank you, thank you, and keep posted to our events on our website or myspace. Studio Martin Re-Opening Party is on the 19th of September, with, again, some big names that will be announced soon. See you in autumn! Get ready!


For some in Bucharest, Kristal Glam Club's got it all, but in recent years it's been the centrally located Studio Martin that's been pulling in the biggest name DJs to its cozy 400-capacity environs. Whether playing host to Claude VonStroke, Laurent Garnier, or even PVMFD, this weekday cinema has been transformed into a weekend home for some of the world's finest electronic music (just don't tell the Kristal diehards).
