First cuddle with your chérie - then do whatever it is you cannot abstain from.

That’s the idea of the “The Cuddle and Cum (split) EP”. The first track “Liebling Password Kuscheln” (Sweetheart, Password Cuddle) is all about grooving smoothly with your sweetheart. Whether it be publicly - i.e. in Café Liebling, Berlin, Prenzlauer Berg - or in private (password required).
The second track is all about what’s happened after your password was accepted and you are logged “in”. But listen to the cheesy vocals yourself. Both tracks’ lyrics share a similar sense for the irony of it all. Whatever that “all” may be (relationships, rituals, sex - you name it). The ‘Cuddle And Come’ EP (GO GO G 3) tracklist:

Hagen B. & Zuckermann
Hagen B. started his career in Tresor club, the old one - of course. He soon became resident of that institution but was rather attracted to the (housy) “Globus” floor at ground level than the techno torture chamber downstairs. Now he’s back in the studio after a long break and shares his passion for cool, hot House grooves with Zuckermann, Stalking Go Go Girls’ CEO/CFO/CCO/CSO (Chief Sex… okokok) and whatever you want to.
The latter also used to be Maria am Ostbahnhof Berlin resident plus resident of the incredible “Cinetrip” parties in good ol’ Budapest (mostly in the Rudazs bath, and if we say bath - it was IN the bath and a watery orgy). He played in France and Japan too and had a number of releases on rather breaks oriented labels using obscure pseudos that he thought were cool back then. Now he’s back again too and working with Hagen on the always exciting “new” idea of House: classic sounds mixed with some contemporary ideas, kling-klangs and sexy whims to produce an altogether fresh House sound. And so the redefinition of House continues…

Lousy Lovers is a project of 2 audio stars from Berlin, one of which is above mentioned Zuckermann, the other one now based in Marseille, Southern France. After they had debated the advantages of Berlin Coolness vs. French Hardcore long enough, they decided to clash these influences instead and create “eine elektronische-erotische Tanzkapelle”.
Lousy Lovers was born, transforming both the Southern way of making love - too fierce, too short - and the Northern one - too uptight, too short too - into something of an entirely different quality. Whether you’ll like that might depend on the girl(s) of course.
Their clash “très particulier” of influences merges into a unique House sound, which combines Minimal with fever and heat with not taking oneself too seriously, cheers.

Ok, after “Spin Doctor” Zuckermann got carried away in the fine world of “da(ft)” fine arts lately, my other self is back now with “something complety different” (stop!-laughing-Mr.-Cleese!).

1. The Trouble With Harry ‘Woow… Hoouse…!’ (GO GO G 2) Tracklist:

Download the tune as mp3

The Trouble With Harry
is a collaboration of Harry Seldom (Organic Domain) and Zuckermann (Stalking Go Go Girls). Their collaboration is about re-defining classical House patterns thus making them fit for those reeeeally outspaced moments of today’s disco nights. No matter whether these are Berlin afterhours, Barcelona beach parties, or Beijing glitz nights. It’s the state of mind that counts….

Harry Seldom was born as Hari Seldon in the 11.988th year of the Galactic Era. He decided to flee from the boredom of the future - namely Asimov’s Foundation “sagas”. Once arrived, he turned his journey into the track “Don’t Look Back”. It instantly became the hit caché of Tigerskins “Organic Domain” label, selling hundreds of copies even without a “Galactic DJ Magazine” review. Shame on you, ignorant (future) markets (oops, my stocks rumble in the background). So, NOW it’s your time.

Zuckermann is the master caster of Stalking Go Go Girls. He likes to post - and its writes. Read some of his musings or muse some of his readings in our blog section. Apart from his literay career here on Stalking Go Go Girls, he produces music for those states of mind referred to above - thaaat kind of hypnotic House that let’s you forget where your house is. The same ‘Black Holing’ applies to his DJ sets after which sometimes only the Goddess of DJs can mercifully make him find his own house.

Bergmann zu Fuss ‘Slow’ EP (GO GO G 1) Tracklist:

1. Bergman zu Fuss ‘Slow’

2. Bergman zu Fuss ‘Slow 2 Go’

3. Bergman zu Fuss ‘Slow 2 Go’ (Traumzucker Edit)

Download the tune as mp3

‘Bergmann zu Fuss’ is a Berlin DJ and producer double that is about essence. Their “essance-to-dance”-formula: shake, stir, and distill the hottest classical House ingredients, then mix with a veeeery selected choice of todays sounds until a total concentrate is reached. Result: your fuss (=feet) will be moved and your mind will follow…

‘Traumzucker’, also known as former Tresor resident ‘Hagen B’ and ‘Bergmann’ has a rather emotional approach to club music. As ‘Traumzucker’ he is interested in technically inspired poetry and a dreamy distance to “normal” melodic expression, deconstructing it sweetly and neatly. Niiiice.

More Zucker (Zuckermann and Traumzucker) on Stalking Go Go Girls soon.

Always weird to see other people apprehend and (re-)interpret one’s very own creations. It can make them appear strange to oneself since their context has changed altogether. Fate of the “electronic/ club music” producer? Certainly! The more so on the web where a certain DJ Gnu (this guy who is one and many at the same time) often is not putting your music “in” its right place (clubbing), but “out” of it (listening).

So this said, we don’t like to deprive you of some of our Go Go Girls meeting some other folks (girls? hmmm…??) in two new mixes. Enjoy and share if you like what you hear.

The first one comes from the famous Italian Deep in Dub Posse, namely DJ Mitch - we’ve just come back from a holiday in Italy the day he posted the mix. What a nice coincidence since I didn’t even twitter about it. The mix is pretty much what the promo text says - “The third mix of a series dedicated to ” Beach House ” music, sounds warm and deep, you will dance throughout the summer 2008″. So yeah, we like the first class selection a lot (NO concealed self-praise meant;-). The mixing though has quite a, well, Italian charme to it - we just looove Italian laisser-aller, pasta and the greatest café in da world;-)): Beach House 2008 (Deepindub Mix).

The  second mix dates from March and comes from the Russian netlabel mag netlabels.ru - and you certainly can tell the difference. Here we go for a much more introverted view of things. Also for a broader one, musically speaking, since a very interesting and sometimes even weird selection makes this mix a worthwhile trip. So if you are in a rather melancholic or dreamy daringly spirit in spite or because of Europes spring that finally sprung (and the quasi absence of mixing) go for this one: Audiomania podcast: March 2008 Urban Pleasures Selection.

Bergmann zu Fuss at Mangali “Club”, Schönwetter Berlin

Vor dem Closing haben wir uns noch mal in Bergmann’s früherer Stammauflege abgeschossen. Eigentlich ist der Laden charmant, wie der Name schon sagt: SCHÖNwetter - zieht aber leider konsequent das falsche Publikum. Das ist auch bei den Donnerstag wöchentlich stattfindenden “Mangali” (WhatEVER that means) Partys nicht anders. Nur, dass die Mischung hier wenigstens ansatzweise stimmt. Neben den üblichen NoGos schaut z.B. auch mal Tom Clark vorbei. Und das sogar zum Auflegen. Da ist nicht nur nett und musikalisch fast immer gut, sondern zieht auch, ja eben die Anderen. Was zum Bleiben und trinken und D*****nehmen animiert. Und dazu, das Wochenende wenigstens etwas früher anfangen zu lassen. Denn inzwischen ist man ei-gent-lich in einem Lebensalter, die Afterhours nicht mehr bis Montag Nachmitag auszudehnten. Dann aber mussten wir leider doch noch die Tour machen (immerhin waren wir Freitag nachmittag mal zuhause um andere Unterwäsche anzuziehen). Das heisst, jugendlich anfangen zu krachig-neu französischer Tanzmusik (Kitsuné, Ed Banger…) im Tape Club, danach kultiviert eingrooven auf der Perlon oder war’s die Kompakt-Sause in der Panoramabar? egal, dann jedenfalls an den Tourihaufen vor der Tür vorbei in die Bar 25, och ja, jetzt kann man ja eigentlich gleich nochma ins Berghain, is gerade Schichtwechsel, die Langweiler sind alle schon im Anna Blume frühstücken (obwohl DIE eh nich reingekommen sind) und wir sind gerade so lustig drauf. Was??? Is echt schon Sonntag abend? Na dann noch schnell ‘n Döner reinziehen und ab auf die Beatstreet Montagafter, is doch immer noch Neukölln, oder? Man ey, echt keine Szenepeilung mehr. Nenenee Kleene, nix nach Hause vorher. Scheisse, da kenn ich mich gar nich aus in diesem Neukölln. Wo isn das jetz, da diese Party im Keller, da? Ey, junge Frau, im Taxi einschlafen gilded nich… Wie? 26 Öhre, ey haste sie noch alle Alta? WIE Friedenstr. in Ze-hlen-dorf?? Wir wollten in die Friedelstr. nach NUKÖLLN, du Pisser, was, Du rufst gleich die Bullen hier? Ich schmeiss Dich in die Krumme Lanke, Du Looser!! Zu Fuss, voll in seinem Element, Sophie bezahlt inzwischen schon mal und entschuldigt sich artig. Nachdem zwei Passanten vor uns geflohen sind, weist uns ein barmherziger Südberliner den Weg zur nächsten U-Bahn. Schlimm, sowas am Montag, äh… ja, frühen Nachmittag, äh, die U-Bahn. Wo ist eigentlich Bergmann geblieben???

So that’s it - finally you start your own label website - and then your studio is kinda burnin’ down (sort of at least, mainboard crash) - and all you have to do for a month is checking for and finally buying a new computer. That doesn’t sound too time consuming, but if you do change your operating system in the process (to Mac), then start wondering, whether you actually should use all your windows music software on a bootcamp partition or not, also begin to question your old, not too ergonomic studio set up, and then finally realise it gotta all be brand new and shiny - then it might take some time…

So yes, here we are again, not completely set up yet, but at least be able to work. And all brand new and shiny it is, with an additional big flatscreen monitor, the NI Kore 2 Controller (great thing, but man, complicated - and the manual doesn’t really help…), the new cubase 4.1 for mac etc… So from now on, you’ll hear from us on a regular basis. The second release is postponed to the first week of January, so to greet the new year with some fresh sounds.

Very yours, the Stalkers

Welcome to Stalking Go Go Girls. Home of that famous Berlin “House - House? uhm, Minimal!? Whatever!” sound. For everyone that likes his or her club music fresher, less ideological or simply more post(-it)modern. More on that ideology in short copy under GO GO ABOUT.

If you are interested in a long mix, please read on: We are a label - and at the same time a blog. We release and sell music - but digitally only. We love classical house - but produce a Minimal influenced contemporary club music mixture that in some cases might even be homelistening compatible. You get the idea…

So besides the quality and uniqueness of the music we put out, we are concerned with what we feel is a contemporary approach towards that myth “label”. It’s an essay in re-writing the typical vinyl label for the iPod generation. Broadband and mp3 players are abundant and sometimes even DJs use the latter to perform. The holy grail of the Techno generation before us was that round black thing with a hole in the middle and 2 to max 3 ultra phat tunes in it’s channels. But today, professional DJing embraces many, many more techniques than just “2 turntables and a microphone”. Above all, it’s going digital. More and more Pro-DJs leave their heavy crates at home and their backs unstressed and embrace lighter digital formats. May it be via Traktor Scratch or other DVS systems, self-made CDRs on 1210 feel like CD-Players, or Ableton Live and Kore. Many also tend to blend DJing and Liveact in the process using more than just plain DJing to enhance their creative output while performing. We even heard about Magda that she cuts all the cool intros out of all these later on cheesy trance or whatever tracks and uses them as tools in her Traktor Scratch spinning. What an idea - although a good one. Please, don’t get us wrong, we still love “real” vinyl, but the times, they are changin’…
So, blog culture and social networks leave their traces. It does change the scene if promoting your music can be done all by yourself. As Ed Bangers Justice have put it in their ‘Dance’ video: ‘internet killed the video star’. May it be on myspace.com or via your own blog. And of course will the voice of an established label be heard by many more people than the utterings on a typical myspace music profile with let’s say a couple of hundreds or even some thousands of “friends”. But again, and also here, the times, they are changin’…

So yeah, what we are trying here is no less than to find another, more comtemporary approach towards such a thing as a club label. Let us know what you think, this, as most blogs doesn’t live by the writings of it’s author(s) only. Thanks and we hope you’ll like what we do.

The Stalking Go Gos

PS: We would also like to thank for all the inspiration - musically and rolemodelwise to, above all: Ricardo Villalobos, Noze, Junior Boys, then Sebastian, Tom Clark, Justice, Phonique, Simian Mobile Disco (although the album is soooo cheap….ugh), Richie Hawtin, Bookashade, Solid Groove (yeah, Yo!, cool), Ed Banger (although their label compilation unfortunately shows the limit of the hype - mostly it’s meaningless), Daypak (and also Padberg), Radio Slave, Hot Chip, Troy Pierce, DJ Boris, Panoramabar (here this dumb Sony claim finally makes sense, a place “like.no.other”:-), Harry Seldom (Hi Alex, willste nich doch weiterrocken?), Bar 25, Tigerskin, tbc

PPS: available on myspace too (of course…)
