The famed Berghain selector goes deep.

Amen.

!

one hour of Ben whispering in my ear... not bad

I'm really curious about this one.

Good one. Todd's questions are on the money, as usual.

love that he talks about Berghain so specifically and extensively.

"you could play a minimal or housier record and it just sounds like techno in there..."

hell yes.. the rumble from the combined funktion one and the natural reverb from that huge, huge concrete room. best sound ever. makes my tiny little heart go pitter patter....i don't think i'll ever hear anything like that again as long as I live.


edit: so now they're discussing how the "secret got out" but how Berghain still for some reason hasn't lost its vibe or impact. hmmm. is the ONE question we want to hear at this point really off limits here? i mean its like the elephant in the living room...

i want to hear an exhange with Sven...

Ben's top flight, both as a dude and as an artist! Deserves all the respect he gets, fo shizzzx

whats the id of the track right at the end of this?

I feel asleep during the interview...

Captain Kirk ?

same

I fall asleep during most of these as well. Both interviewer and interviewee typically talk way too slowly.

What the hell do you want a Bizzy Bone vs. Twista battle? You can always speed up the playback and satisfy your Alvin & the Chipmunks fetish.

thats a bit unfair, his point is valid, the guys doing the interview has the kind of voice that could induce a coma

It's 'underground' electonic music so we must all speak very softly, uncertainly and awkwardly to maintain this avant garde mystique of being introverted geeks who prefer machines to people

Exactly

Well sure he spoke slowly but maybe the interview was done on a monday or tuesday and maybe he was doing some efforts to have a good prononciation aswell. I suppose, the flow would have been a little more uptempo if in german.

Personnaly, I didn't care and I found this interview interesting from the beginning untill the end.

though most of the interviews are interesting.

Loved hearing Ben Klock talk about Berlin around the time of reunification

Didn't like this Exchange that much. Todd sounds a little too much like a Klock/Berghain-Fanboy and Ben is somehow reluctant to answer in depth (Answers like: "Yes and no." And thats it.). I think the language barrier seems to be a problem here. Dunno, maybe I just didn't feel this episode.
