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.
