Marc Forrest Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 If you are coming from abroad now is your good chance to book really cheap flights from all across Europe...our anniversary nights always are the very best RARE SOUL allnighters in Berlin...absolutely crowded, fantastic music, very HOT atmosphere...last year for example was the hottest day in Berlin weather history Link to comment
Guest DaveSwift Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Hi Marc Sounds good Do you have any hotel recommendations near the venue please? Thanks Dave & Tara Link to comment
Marc Forrest Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 Hi Marc Sounds good Do you have any hotel recommendations near the venue please? Thanks Dave & Tara Hi dave & tara, sorry for having had you wait for areply..I just saw your question. There are loads of hotels near the venue as the venue is right in the heart of the city (good if you fancy a sight seeing and/or shopping tour as well) . this one https://www.arcotelhotels.com/de/velvet_hotel_berlin/?r=3772592&gclid=COfaxoHW_acCFYu-zAodQm0kqw is JUST around the corner from where the venue is and most of our lovely English friends who visited the Hip City in January stayed here. theres also a brand new nh hotel 3 min walk from the venue with a beautiful view on the river spree https://www.nh-hotels.de/nh/de/hotels/deutschland/berlin/nh-berlin-friedrichstrasse.html If you need any further help, I gladly help Link to comment
Guest DaveSwift Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Thanks Marc Found cheap flights from Gatwick. Having a look at these two hotels hope to get accomodation sorted soon. Cheers Dave Link to comment

Marc Forrest Posted May 5, 2011 Author Share Posted May 5, 2011 (edited) Nine weeks only left ! ! So far it looks like a hell of an anniversary !! Edited May 5, 2011 by Marc Forrest Link to comment
Marc Forrest Posted May 20, 2011 Author Share Posted May 20, 2011 (edited) I am very happy to be able to announce that we were able to secure the Bohannon nightclub for the "warm up" night on friday July 8th! A fantastic Black Music only club in the heart of Berlin and very near to the Oscar Wilde our saturdays venue too Some may remember the Bohannon from the Berlin gig of the Kings Go Forth this January when Mick H was re-named MC H...but that is..was..another story ! Cheers Marc https://www.bohannon.de This is a place run by Soul people for Soul people! Edited May 20, 2011 by Marc Forrest Link to comment
Marc Forrest Posted June 8, 2011 Author Share Posted June 8, 2011 (edited) Alright people, - the anniversary record test pressings will arrive at my place on wednesday coming week, so all looks good on that front - all German guest DJ`s seem to know by now they are booked - bUTCH`s flight is ALMOST booked too ... - both the venues for friday and saturday night are ready for take off - plus guests from England, Sweden plus one other certain country north-east of Germany plus of course Soulies from all over Germany have booked already.... So just like JJ Jackson used to say "Let the show begin" ! ..okay, still five weeks to go I know...just me getting so excited and giddy already.. Edited June 14, 2011 by Marc Forrest Link to comment
Marc Forrest Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 Another good news, after having had received the anniversary 45 test pressings last week, the edition of our new anniversary record feat. a fantastic and so far unreleased SOUL track is currently being done at the pressing plant. Judging by the great feedback we got for our annivesary weekender incl. facebook and other sources best bet to secure one anniversary record is to be there saturday night VERY early. Personally I believe this is the very best anniversary record we ever did release so far... It will be 100 copies, thats it. Not one single copy will be available (thru us) on the market after the anniversary. C U Marc Link to comment
Marc Forrest Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 (edited) Thats the new HCSC C/UP "Lucky Strike & The Marlboro Men" Edited July 1, 2011 by Marc Forrest Link to comment
Marc Forrest Posted July 6, 2011 Author Share Posted July 6, 2011 alright fellas, only two more days to go then its annivesary time! with articles in the major two berlin nightguides, an amazing response via facebook etc and souling travellers from almost everywhere in europe this indeed promises to becomw a hot, steamy and long anniversary weekend(-er). Top stuff...and me, I simply cant wait anymore LOL ! If I am not posting again on here before the anniversary is over, dont expect me to do so say after wednesday coming week LOL ! Link to comment
Marc Forrest Posted July 12, 2011 Author Share Posted July 12, 2011 just a note to say thank you so much to everybody involved, especially all the fabulous guest DJ`s we had on friday and saturday night Lazy, Lars, Jan, Ralf, Matu, VIP HItman of course also special thanks to all the travelling soulies from the USA, Netherlands, Switzerland, Sweden (what a huge group this time!), England and of course all over Germany especially Hamburg, Leipzig, Dresden, Cologne, our Berlin scene who were there both nights in full swing and affect and everybody I missed mentioning now...for making our 21st annivesary the most sucessful we ever had! the firday night already was awesome...the saturday wth over 216 Soulies in our little backroom was not only a new record, it was a unbelievable adventure and exerience...well, you had to be there really so I wont bore with stories of just how amazing (and indeed hot) it was.. Our limited anniversary record had already gone by 11.30 pm... just one word has to be said....bUTCH! who had three spots ended the night not only with a three hour spot to a until around 6 am full dancefloor...what he did and gave us was a lecture in Rare Soul. From 4.30 to 7.30 am three hours full of unknowns, C/UP ´s and acetates. Tommy Knight and Sag Ware Fare were the most "common" tunes in this his final set...so you get a picture. It was the very best spot me and several others ever had heard. Be it by bUTCH himself or anyone else. It indeed was unbelievable and so perfect to end this weekend and our 21st anniversary. Judging by the amount of unknowns he played he has enough "material" to "feed" the scene for the next ten years to come...dont think everybody really realizes what a "complete" dj he is and what a musical loss it would be if he would indeed stop deejaying. anyway, as I promised, just a short note from me..so thanks big time again everybody and see you again "at-the-go-go" in September when Maria Orlovic and Arthur Fenn will take care of our decks!

Docfish Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 It was the very best spot me and several others ever had heard. I was lucky enough to be one of the 'several others' and you're absolutely right Marc! Thanks for making it possible! If someone believes the rare soul scene is at an end with new discoveries.....

franz Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 (edited) Not yet halfway recovered from what was easily the best Hip City I've ever had. The blood, the sweat and the tears, we've had them all. Totally agree with with Lars (who happened to play a blinder of a set), anyone who thinks rare soul material is drying up should really get out more (I'd recommend the Hip City, but then again I'm positively biased ) - Butch's set was the best I've ever heard him play, now there's a standard. Also from me big thanks to anybody who attended, gave a helping hand and/or just enjoyed the weekend with us!!! Super big thanks for the badges, fantastic idea, usually this is just some nice bit of Northern Soul folklore for me, but that one's something special, BIG THANKS!!! Not yet decided whether to sew it on or just keep it (Mint, collector soul I am) - Now where's me yarn & needle?!? Edited July 12, 2011 by franz Link to comment
Marc Forrest Posted July 13, 2011 Author Share Posted July 13, 2011 Super big thanks for the badges, fantastic idea, usually this is just some nice bit of Northern Soul folklore for me, but that one's something special, BIG THANKS!!! Absolutely rioght my friend, top class present! Extra thanks big style to Lazy, Daniela, Jan , Julia and Andreas and Anne for coming up with this great idea and surprise...the 50 patches were also immediately sold out on the night! Just spoke to the butcher and he will let me have a playlist soon...now that is sth wonderful and unexpected ...would be great to see the other DJ`s playlists as well please. Marc Link to comment
