loveparade may be over for a lot of old fans but may be the “partysanen, germany” have started something that could be repeated next year. A big show where people can meet, dance and talk about the good old loveparading days. (11.July 2009 in Berlin)

It is very symbolic by the way that the annual “popkomm” has been cancelled officially because there were not enough participants. I (Mike) read an article recently where they talked about a probable “licence-flatrate” which everyone grown up has to pay. Like a monthly support tax or an annual fee for watching Free-TV - It would mean that everybody from a certain age on would pay a “flatrate” for the music, the film and the piece of art he´s downloading. I somehow like the idea because it would stop all these discussions about who get s what and what is allowed to be downloaded. Otherwise I see the gap between the ones who download illegally and the ones who create gets bigger and bigger.  Parties like “The Pirate Party” wouldn´t need to exist.

Creativity is a luxury nowadays because you never know when you get paid for it. So, who s going to be creative in the future? or do we already accept an average product as a very good piece of art? In this case then it would not matter who creates what anymore. It all becomes a melting pot - like a good “poutine” and I don t really want to know what is all in there because I believe that I still have a good taste.

While we are performing our loveparade showcase with the “strings of love orchestra” in front of 400.000 people in Dortmund on 19.July 2008 our new cd will hit the stores. We will limit the first 2008 copies. They will be numbered and some also signed by us. (though we might not be able to use our hands for weeks after this…)

As the two of us are facing ten years of joyful work we decided to create something special, an album that can´t be compared with the usual “electronic mix album”. It s not! just a ” best of”, it´s way more than you usually get presented ; )

The cd will be a mixed selection of new, unreleased and remixed tracks by/of maertini broes
wich focuses basically on OUR favourite tracks and mixes from the past 10 years, and - as mentioned above - 6 (!) brandnew pieces and some restored “hard-to-find” items from the early days; all mixed with love and passion and the knowledge you need, to produce an outstanding release as this one.

So we hope to see you again when we are playing LIVE near your homebase and also please let us know what you think about our tracks, our live shows and our clothes. Don´t hesitate its FREE to communicate ; )

es war ein wunderbares “poshes” ereignis. Simon der chef des clubs “via felsenau” gab vor mitternacht auf der tanzfläche ein fünf-gänge menü.

zumindest haben wir so etwas bisher nicht erlebt:

mal eben schnell, während für die sylvester party die tische abgeräumt wurden, nochmal eben so schnell eine halbe stunde soundcheck gemacht um dann (oops: ist es denn schon mitternacht?) eben so schnell auf der bühne anzuprosten. Das feuerwerk haben wir dann leider vermisst. Laut unseren nachforschungen sind die schweitzer mittlerweile auch davon überzeugt an sylvester und nicht nur an ihrem nationalfeiertag zu ballern. Es galt früher als geldverschwendung …

Wir beide hoffen natürlich, dass es für unsere aktiven tätigkeiten auf der bühne und sonst wo auf der welt ein gutes karma für 2008 und sein sollte. Das heisst unpathetisch: gute märtini brös live gigs zu unserer zehnjahrestour in 2008.

Es war der letzte clubabend in der “via felsenau” !! also nicht versuchen dort nochmal hinzufahren.

Während der vielen besuche dort, haben wir uns ein paar gute freunde gemacht: und wiedermal heisst es “musik verbindet” für all die simons, die michelles, die rez, die cristofs und deren freunde.

Ich wünsche mir manchmal gern deren luft hier in berlin, das würde so manchen druffi hier den kopf reinigen.

Bilbao, “Fever” on 16.11.2007

We were looking forward to come back to play in this beautiful cits brilliant white airport designed in the shape of a dove. (It reminds me very much of Stanley Kubrick`s “2001″)

The promoters made us a nice present by setting up two white screens on stage. We apparently forgot that we had it written on our rider as a part of our agreement.

So we are into art now. We left those two drawings in Bilbao. Hopefully you may see them at the Guggenheim Museum one day.

PS: we don´t know why “swayzak” is in such big letters on that flyer above ; )

People of Bilbao: Thank you again
