A German Accent

In its fourth installment, A German Accent brings to Lisbon and Porto, Stereofunk, from Intrnal Sync’s debut label, Klang Gymnastik. This EP came out on March 2007, and with the help of the Monoroom and Ampére remixes, it sold out quickly.

So, who’s Stereofunk, then?
From Desden to the world, seems to be the motto here. Stereofunk is one of the heads of Klang Gymnastik. The label has been growing solidly, getting names likes Markus Lange, Davis and May or Phunklarique, and Stereofunk has accompanied the label’s rise, has he’s been DJing all over Europe. Besides this, he’s been releasing as well on Karate Music, and other labels.

In the 2nd run of the A German Accent nights, Internal Sync introduced DJ Tend from Broque Records (Hamburg) to the portuguese crowd. First at Passos Manuel, Oporto’s finest underground club, and afterwards the party came down to Lisbon, to Lounge, followed by the after-hours gig at Armazém F. A Geman Accent #2 was also the release party for Internal Sync’s EP “Dementia” at Broque Records.

So, who’s DJ Tend, and what’s Broque records?
In his own way Tend only continues the family tradition. Through the equipment taken out of his father, such as old records, tapes and tape recorders, he already learned DJing as a small boy. Born in Eisenach/Thuringia, he was already infected by electronic music before the fall of the wall. Stimulated by the general progressive atmosphere in Germany, he started to organize his first parties in 1993/94 in very unique locations as for example in an old arch or later on even in factories or real street tunnels. With his “Oder auf Brot”-Posse he plays all over Thuringia and of course beyond that.He is responsible for the Fanzine „Oder auf Brot “, which exists since 1994 and still is.

Apart from organizing events, him and his partner Granlab are taking care of the label Broque.de, which belongs to the most successful ones in the German internet, with their mp3-releases (#8 De:Bug Leserpoll Charts 2006).Meanwhile he also started his own vinylseries which is distributed by Kompakt. As if it were not enough he is also writing for different music magazines such as Partysan or phlow.net. His own sound spreads in all directions somewhere between groovy house and progressive Techno. It fits as much in elevators as in huge dancehalls.
