  • Bio

    .. .. .... .. The PHUNKGUERILLA is a network of European musicians and composers, who Cosmo already worked with on different projects throughout his career. The idea was to unite all these people, and to focus their musical potential on one project: THE PHUNKGUERILLA. Cosmo puts different writing teams together, from the pool of musicians and arranges the so called "Guerilla-sessions", where his colleagues are invited to give their best. These "Guerilla-sessions" are a kind of creative brainstorming. The ideas, that come up in these sessions are evaluated by Cosmo afterwards. Cosmo: "This way of song writing is completely different than composing with only a guitar or in front of a computer. I always bring a few ideas into the session and we’ll jam on it and see where the journey is gonna take us". To avoid the journey going into the wrong direction, Cosmo functions as a kind of style guard. Highest requirement: IT’ GOT TO BE PHUNKY! The musical influences of the PHUNKGUERILLA are Prince, Marvin Gay, George Clinton & The P Funk All Stars, Sly and The Family Stone, Mr. James Brown, Chic… Cosmo: "Our music must fulfil simply three criteria: Those songs have to inspire the people to dance, to reflect and/or to have great sex". So far the sessions have always been taken place under exclusion of the public, but the PHUNKGUERILLA is about to bring these Guerilla-session up on the stages of Berlin, Dortmund and Cologne. We’ll keep u informed about the Guerilla-sessions under dates. PRODUCTION Claus Fischer -who already worked for Lionel Richie, Chaka Khan and Stefan Raab not only at the bass- and Cosmo Klein take over the productional side of the PHUNKGUERILLA. Cosmo and Claus are the absolute, productional dream team for the PHUNKGUERILLA. With Cosmos background concerning song writing/arrangement and Claus' background as a producer and multi-instrumentalist the two just work hand in hand to make it phunky as hell. The first demos of the PHUNKGUERILLA are already online. The first record will be released in 2009. Please visit us at: Cosmopolytix.com

    SOULBOX GRAND OPENING!

    Goethebunker goes Soulbox!
    SOULBOX! Die neue Partyreihe im Essener Goethebunker startet am Freitag, den 15. Januar ihr Unwesen.

    Auf dem Programmteller stehen feinste LIVE-Acts aus Soul, Hiphop und Funk ...und dazu DJ Acts aus aller Welt die das musikalische Programm abrunden werden.

    Fuer den Auftakt der Veranstaltung praesentieren wir euch YARAH BRAVO und THAT FUCKIN SARA!
    One Woman Powerhouse YARAH BRAVO ist Mitglied der Londoner Underground Supergroup ONE SELF (Ninja Tune), u.a. mit DJ Vadim und DJ Woody. Die ehemalige Frontfrau des Soundcatcher Soundsystems (BBE) zeigt sich als Lady mit trotziger Intelligenz, scharfem politischen Bewusstsein und mit dem kosmischem Wahrnehmungsgefuehl einer Weltenbummlerin, die gleichzeitig das pfiffig coole Maedchen von Nebenan ausstrahlt. Ihr Sound, der mal suess und zart, mal kraftvoll und hart ertoent, steckt voll tiefgruendiger Ueberzeugung und jugendlicher Energie.

    Mit dabei hat sie ihre DJ-Freundin THAT FUCKING SARA, geboren in Daenemark und seit einigen Jahren in Berlin zu Hause. Angefangen hat fuer sie alles im Jahre 1983. Sie bat ihre Mutter, ihr die Platte mit dem Titel HEY YOU von The Rocksteady Crew zu kaufen, und legte somit den Grundstein fuer ihre DJ-Karriere. Seit 2005 bereichert sie das Nachtleben in Berlin sowie auch andere europaeische Staedte mit ihrem Mix aus HipHop, Disco Electro, Miami Bass und Grime.
    Good Girls Rarely Make History!

    Der zweite Floor wird von keinen geringeren beschallt als dem Goethebunker-Head CASIO mit seiner zoooKRU und LACKIERA aus der alten Capribar!

    Am Freitag 15.01.2010 im Goethebunker Essen!

    mainfloor:
    YARAH BRAVO Live! (London,Berlin)
    THAT FUCKIN SARA
    Local Support by DJ Ceeriouz.
