My rating of the Club: 7/10. Big, festival-style club in Balneario Camboriu, Brazil, championing mostly mainstream house music. Voted #1 club in the world by DJ mag, and while it’s undoubtedly beautiful I feel that it lacks character.

Airbeat One Festival Review: Great Lineup & Best Campground Ever
Rating: 7/10. Cool countryside festival with 4 diverse stages and genres. Music was curated really well with unbelievable lineup. Real German festival with cool crowd and nice communal feeling. The camping area is a sight to behold. Very hard to get to as a foreigner and consequently there were very few.
Berlin Chinatown & Best Asian Food
Berlin is a truly multicultural city. You see Muslim women with headscarves working retail in Alexanderplatz, black people speaking perfect German, and Asians dressed like Berlin hipsters. So, you get great food from all cultures – including Asian food – which was very exciting for me as I came a long tenure in Barcelona, where the […]

Minus points for creating a suffocating steam room in the main dance floor. My journey of techno tourism continued over the European labor day weekend (April 30th). Boys Noize has […]
8 Odd Things About Catalans
Every culture has its peculiarities, but let’s face it – there’s a point where the “culture” and “traditions” are just plain weird! Don’t get me wrong, I love living in Barcelona and all my Catalan friends, but seriously, they do some weird crap here! Speaking of sh*t, the first on my list is… 1. Obsession […]
Review of Ministry of Sound, London
My rating: 4/10. I know that this is an important club for many people, and my rating is totally subjective!!! I felt that the club was too crowded, the techno crowd keeps too much to themselves, and the layout of the club was kind of awkward. Shiba San played, which was the only redeeming factor for me. […]
