Paul Kalkbrenner

[Desaparecidos]

Late add request, you will not be disappointed... For those who haven't heard, he is really really fucking good....

[rag and bone]

sure, why not?

[moomoo]

I support this 100%

[david.sound]

Yes! He's playing Coachella this year!

[avhua]

Totally became a fan after reading this thread. Can't wait to see him in April!

[bemerritt]

What kind of set time and location are we thinking for this beauty? I really hope he's at night. That or a sunset slot would be awesome. I don't think the Sahara is worthy, but we'll see.

[chbludevil]

Hopefully directly against a RHCP or Killers headlining set

[fredbull]

i can see him playing dusk into night, a la orbital

[david.sound]

A remix of a Paul Kalkbrenner song, but it's sooo good:



This song precisely expresses how good I feel about this years line up. Enjoy!

I am probably most excited for this set the entire weekend. Not only are his productions flawless, but I think it is pretty cool that he is also an actor and incorporates this into his live show.

[InF3cT10uZ]

k seriously wtf, how is the message board not all over this guy...can someone move this thread to the lineup section?

[nathanfairchild]

please explain:

he is also an actor and incorporates this into his live show.

[InF3cT10uZ]

He wrote the soundtrack, script and acted in the movie Berlin Calling. Also in his live documentary from 2010, it looks as if he is acting along with the music in my opinion. I could be wrong but he seems to be more animated than if we where simply playing live and getting the crowd excited.

You're going to need to explain this explanation, particularly the bolded part.

[InF3cT10uZ]

just watch the movie

[guedita]

No, I've seen the movie. I'm interested in understanding what you mean. Do you mean to say:

"In the documentary, when you see him perform, it's evident that he is not just performing as he would on a regular day. He's performing in a way that utilizes his acting skills. He's not just playing live and getting the crowd excited, he's acting animated, which is ultimately what excites the crowd."

[guedita]

If someone say, hadn't seen the movie or the documentary and had no inclination that Paul Kalkbrenner has acted, would they see his live show and turn to their friend to say, "Man, is it just me or is he doing more up there than just getting the crowd animated...I wonder if he's ever acted before?"

[chbludevil]

I think what he means to say is that Paul Kalkbrenner is a great actor, and it is because of his acting chops that makes him great at DJ'ing. Imagine if there was no music playing and Kalkbrenner was just up there acting, the crowd would be going just as wild. So, when you combine his music with his acting skills he becomes the best DJ on the planet.

[guedita]

"Not only is this track selection fucking stellar, it's as if he's teaching us all a little something about Brecht behind the decks, too."

[guedita]

"Well that was a Stanislavskian transition if I've ever seen one"

[malcolmjamalawesome]

"I heard he spent two years imbedded with DJs in order to prepare for this role."

InF3cT10uZ never claimed that Paul Kalkbrenner was the best DJ on the planet you dumbnutz.

In my defense I've not a goddamn clue what the fuck InF3cT10uZ is talking about

[malcolmjamalawesome]

I bet a lot of people are going to act like they enjoyed his set.

You won't know they are acting though, unless you've seen their reel.

Do you mean because of the music or the acting?

Steven Angello begs to differ.

[nationocean]

[malcolmjamalawesome]

Steven Angello begs to differ.

Wait, what if Angello was just acting ... the whole time?
