green & blue

The Green & Blue Open Air on the fi rst September weekend has become a fi xed date in the festival schedule for seven years now. Each year towards the end of summer, Sven Väth and his crew have turned the Waldschwimmbad in Obertshausen near Frankfurt into a dream of green meadow, blue water, lots of trees and light installations, ending with a grand fi nal with laser show and fi reworks and, above all, being surrounded by music from the best artists that the electronic music scene has to o ff er. In this year, the second edition of the associated Mix-CD is to be released, mixed by two DJs who are able to revert on both long-time experience and innovation in sound: Tobi Neumann and Onur Özer. On these two CDs (each DJ is responsible for one mix), the two excellent turntable artists - who, as a team are also known as Sensitiva - are giving an outline of current Techno and TechHouse tracks. In doing so, they don't rely on big names and safe hits only, but also produce some real pearls out of their record case again and again: besides names from the likes of Reboot, Matthias Kaden, Sascha Dive, Tolga Fidan or Daze Maxim, one can also fi nd the young Romanian Dan Andrei, who presents his fi rst international release on the Frankfurt imprint Be Chosen, after having released several records on Arpiar earlier. Also Cécille Records is represented with both well-established artists, such as Reboot, and promising new talents, such as the young Italian Leon. Besides his brand new track "Mare Maris", Onur Özer has also included jewels like Taron Trekka's "Radio Fligg", which has been praised by the German magazine de:bug as "funky, slamming, wide and perfect". In short: an extremely appropriate soundtrack for the upcoming party - don't miss this one!
