Deep into the sound of house with Dorfjungs member and Gewölbe regular Broda. Cologne based DJ and idler Broda has found his way to explore time and space in contemporary club music. Ever since his first appearances in rundown bars and empty clubs, Broda has proved to have some merit with classic rhythm and oddly house. For his Dublab podcast, he spins an electronic take on deep house… “between shadow and lights”.

As Camera carved their cosmic trail through the US they stopped by LA to pay a visit to dublab. With abundant energy they took to the airwaves and built slowly built their set into a searing roar of driving sound. This Berlin-based trio are taking cues from Krautrock pioneers while blazing trails of their own design. If you like to dream about setting circuit boards on fire then smashing the ashes with drum sticks, this session is for you. If your inner synthesizer sketches trails of clouds across the sky, this session is for you. If you are ready to join the ranks of the Krautrock Guerilla movement, this session is for you. Click play to hear Camera perform a live “Sprout Session” full of wild, fuzzy rhythm and noise.

DUBLAB is happy to premiere a video of rare footage from the making of “Japandorf”. This is the last album production of Klaus Dinger (1946-2008). In fact “Japandorf” is the perfectly accomplished third album of a series of three albums in total, which were produced since 2000 by the likewise named project Japandorf. The two predecessors of “Japandorf” are called “pre-Japandorf” and “VIVA Rimix 2010” and are yet to be released. If you haven’t yet, make sure to also check out the book “Lick My Ass If You Can.” This book is a good guide for a journey into the Klaus Dinger-cosmos. Curated by Miki Yui.
