FREEDARICH & LOSE YOUR HEAD




I've just finished watch LOSE YOUR HEAD, a psychological thriller based in Berlin about a young Spanish man who visits the eclectic city after a recent breakup. The film is one of the most confusing and well written I have seen in a while and at times quite tense, starting off quite slowly but quickly grabbing your attention and confusing the fuck out of you. Accompanied by an amazingly Berlin soundtrack by Freedarich and Touchy Mob, the minimal techno sounds really help to build up the film.
 It's definitely worth checking out.

My 10 Favourite Books

It's 1am, I'm really bored and should really be revising feminism within the media and distribution between industries, but I can't be bothered so instead I've decided to list my top ten books. It's not really in an order of favourites, although Less Than Zero is definitely my all time favourite, but just an arrangement of books I think everyone should have a look at. I'm pretty bad at making lists and ordering things anyway.  



1) Less Than Zero, Bret Easton Ellis




2) The Catcher in the Rye, J.D Salinger 




3) Haunted, Chuck Palahniuk 


  

4) Naive Super, Erlend Lee




5) Norwegian Wood, Haruki Murakami




6) Ham on Rye, Charles Bukowski




7) Goodbye Tsugumi, Banana Yoshimoto




8) Vernon God Little, DBC Pierre 




9) When I was Five I Killed Myself, Howard Buten




10) Fight Club, Chuck Palahniuk

Oliver Eglin - Berghain/Panorama



A few images from Oliver Eglin's project focusing on one of Berlin's, if not Europe's, most famous night club, the Berghain. His images focus on clubbers exiting the nightclub during the early hours of Sunday. Berghain is notable for its odd opening times, kicking off on a Friday and staying open all the way until Monday morning. It's also infamous for its stringent door policy with many people getting rejected after an hour long queue, one of the many reasons why I've never bothered and normally opt for Tresor when I'm in Berlin, however I'm desperate to try it out after a friend of mine went recently. 

Berlin is definitely one of my favourite cities and these photos are a really interesting aspect of Berlin's extremely interesting culture. You can check out more of Oliver Eglin's photos on his website - here

Phantom Vibrate EP

Jacques Greenes new EP, Phantom Vibrate, has not disappointed. Already being one of my favourite producers/DJ's ever since laying my ears on Another Girl way back in 2012 I have always kept myself up to date with his growing number of tracks. No excuse is definitely going to be a new favourite of mine and the vocals are just amazing, hopefully it will get some airtime and be played around Nottingham in the summer, but I'm very doubtful. Feel What, although not as good as No Excuse, is still really chilled and I can imagine it being played at around 4am in a club when everyones starting to come down, debating whether to drop another bomb or go home haha. 


ALSO, I've only just discovered one of Greene's first songs and its fucking insane. I have no idea how I've never heard it before, but it's instantly became a new favourite of mine and been on constant repeat.




Currently awaiting to sit my final exam and after long, boring days of pretending to revise I've decided to restart my blog... again. I'm probably going to leave out the constant photo posts and try and make things a bit more interesting, probably by posting music, artists and photographers I'm currently liking, but I have no idea and will probably neglect this in about 3 weeks.
Anyway, enjoy a few photos from my INSTAGRAM
