Herr Kalkbrenner

Paul Kalkbrenner is a name most of you might've heard before. And techno is a music genre everyone has heard of for sure. Even if you had already formed a negative opinion on the two things above (monotonic music only suitable for drug abusers etc.) I still suggest you to keep reading.

I could've declared my love for the Berlin techno/electro sound through some other less known artist like Lucy, Robac Wruhme or Delta Funktionen, but I decided to write about Herr Kalkbrenner. That is because if I feel like if I had heard his stuff 10 years ago I still would''ve liked it a lot.

He has also proven that he can turn pretty much any song into a 100% legit blend of German techno/electro. Just take a look the following example:
1) Listen to the first song posted below (I know it's a pretty lame pop song, that's the point.)
2) Take your soundsystem to the (MAX) & listen to the second song posted below (or if you're in a hurry, go straight to 01:30)




And finally here's a nice selection of Kalkbrenner originals & remixes (don't expect anything special or rare, just the popular but great stuff): MiNiMAL NIGHT AFFAIRS - PAUL KALKBRENNER SPECIAL by Frank Sharp
