What can I say about Berlin that doesn’t sound cheesy? I really don’t know, but let me say one thing: It is great to travel, to play shows and see other cities around the world but nothing is as good as the warm feeling of coming back here.
I know where my home is: deep in the heart of Berlin Techno City.
Adam Port has always been involved in various music scenes throughout his years. Beginning his musical education in the straight edge and hardcore scene, Port quickly discovered his romantic love of vinyl. But as he began collecting, his interests strayed from hardcore and led him to the hip hop bins. But after getting his dual turntables and mixer he realized that there was something more than hip hop: house, techno and electro. But with his love of hip hop ever present, Port began making his own electro sound with soul and rap beats incorporated.
Port is currently working on a new mixtape with DJ Baggs (Kindisch) while maintaining a steady studio practice in search of a new single. He stays busy as a part of the DJ-collective Keinemusik Crew and spends his downtime working on his blog.
In my opinion, Blut & Eisen is the best tattoo shop in town. And I’ve got the ink to prove it.
Ok. Real talk. Their service is slow and not really customer-friendly, but the food is cool and the cakes are off the hook!
This spot is two blocks from my house. A very nice and romantic atmosphere with delicious food and old school desks. It is the perfect place to start the day with a nice breakfast and without Macbook dorks around you.
This is my favorite record store in Techno City! Great selection and a top buying agent. They don’t order bullshit music. DJs from all over the world go here and it is only a minute away from my crib. I love to buy new vinyl!
Mmmm…tasty vegetarian and vegan fast food. If I’m craving a meatless currywurst, that’s where I always go.
Or Villa, Picknick, Panorama Bar, Cookies, Tresor, Magnet, Watergate, Sage, Ritter Butzke, Arena, Tape, Maria, Club der Visionäre, Weekend, Scala, and, and, and…I love them all. Some more and some less. They all make Berlin the techno city that I love!
The good old Kaufhaus des Westens…A lot of cool brands under one roof. From Burberry to Dior Homme, Louis Vuitton to Ralph Lauren. They know how to treat customers! It’s easy to spend 5000 Euros in a number of minutes. West Berlin baby!
Tasteful selection of brands. This is the number one spot in Germany when you are looking for stuff like Original Fake, Neighbourhood, Visvim or Supreme. The owner is a cool dude and knows what’s up in the biz.
Copenhagen in the house! They have always a smaller but a much better selection of Ralph Lauren than in the Ralph boutique in KaDeWe. A very nice team. It is always a pleasure to buy something here.
