In the room Interconnection at BERLIN GLOBAL on Museum Sunday, visitors can try out DJ techniques for themselves under the guidance of two hip hop DJs from the early days of hip hop in Berlin. DJ Tan and André Langenfeld will explain various scratch and mix techniques. They explain stylistic contexts. Both will also tell what it was like to be a hip hop DJ in East and West Berlin before and after the fall of the Wall.
Participants
DJ Tan played drums in the beginning. In 1987 he discovered his
passion for hip hop and became a DJ. He is a founding member of the band Islamic Force, with whom he released two records. Then he joined the band Cartel as a DJ. He began producing his own music as well as working as a music manager, which led to the founding of his own music publishing company Beats&Rhymes at Universal Music Publishing.
André Langenfeld was born and raised in East Berlin. In the 1980s, he discovered hip hop through West German radio broadcasts by Barry Graves and Monika Dietl. First DJ experiments with tape and turntables followed. In February 1990, he joined the youth radio station DT64. There he broadcast the “Yo! Show”, then “Saturday Nightflight” and “Hip Hop Soundgarden” at Radio Fritz. He was also a DJ in many Berlin clubs and, among other things, music editor at the city magazine “Flyer” and A&R at the record company “Universal”.
