This event was organized by Vali NME Click and DJ Chromz and they very kindly invited me to come along and play. Given the circumstances of playing outdoors in an urban park, they chose to go the digital route (obviously) so I had to spend a bunch of time ripping from vinyl in order to have things to play. I also made this little mini-mix as a promotion: totally improvised, just having fun. It worked out nicely IMO.<\/p>\n<p>The party itself was amazing. It started slowly, kicking off at 2:30 pm and we had persistent issues with noise complaints, but it really came alive in the evening when we re-organized the sound system to be pointing down the length of the park and not towards the width, where apartment buildings are. We ran until close to midnight (I dipped at 11:15 due to exhaustion), and I think it was one of the single best experiences I&#8217;ve had in 26 years of being a dj. <\/p>\n<p>I never play digital, so it was a bit of a white knuckle ride for me at times, especially since I ripped to Soundforge and the waveform wasn&#8217;t displayed in the display, so I had no visual clues as to how the tune would develop, i.e. where breakdowns were or drops were going to occur. Tricky!<\/p>\n<p>Even so, the atmosphere was incredible, and it was a very special, if not surreal, experience to play jungle in the middle of a park in the heart of Kreuzberg.<\/p>\n<p>Just amazing!<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re not familiar with Parallax, I <a href=\"https:\/\/sonicrampage.org\/blog\/2021\/06\/pearsall-presents-memories-of-the-parazone-parallax-album-promo-mix-vali-nme-click-interview\/\">interviewed<\/a> Vali a few years back:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>What\u2019s the story behind Parallax Recordings?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In Berlin I started putting on the \u2018Parallax\u2019 events in a small, illegal location around 2013, doing parties about once a year. I invited the people around Germany that had the same passion for Oldskool and a record collection. These events got a lot of love although I put little effort\/ possibilities in promoting them. And they\u2019ve been tons of fun!<\/p>\n<p>Being an avid record collector I remember always hassling Dave Elusive from 92&nbsp; Retro and Will Irvine from Sublogic\/KVA to see if they could repress this or that and link them to the producers. One day Will said: \u2018You know what? You just did the hardest part \u2013 finding the producers. Let\u2019s do this together as a joint release\u2019 and asked what I would call my label. I didn\u2019t think too much and just took the name from my parties, thinking this would be a one-off experience. But so, Parallax Recordings was born. Soon after I found the guys from Technosaurus and decided to put their \u2018Best Of Invention\u2019 out on my own, just to see if I could do it all alone (though Will helped me heaps and forwarded me all his contacts, so thanks again, Will!).<\/p>\n<p>My girlfriend was pregnant with my now 3-year old daughter and I somehow thought I had to do this \u201cbefore it\u2019s all over\u201d and I\u2019m a dad. Well, I did and caught the bug, and fast forward, here I am releasing the 5-piece album \u2018Message From The Parazone\u2019.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Here are some video clips to give you a sense of how things were:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"652\" height=\"1159\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/flJh25Po0e4\" title=\"Parallax crew jungle free party in Kreuzberg, Berlin\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"652\" height=\"1159\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/p0CAYIJmzJA\" title=\"Parallax crew jungle free party in Kreuzberg, Berlin\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"652\" height=\"1159\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/V-FnF9V4QEg\" title=\"Parallax crew jungle free party in Kreuzberg, Berlin\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"652\" height=\"1159\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9-brEqveGLA\" title=\"Parallax crew jungle free party in Kreuzberg, Berlin\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A mini mix recorded as a promo for an outdoor jungle free party.
