    +++mit JAKE THE RAPPER+++

    GOYS N' BIRLS & KOMMUNE 1 presents:
    the official SECRET ISLAND NATION AFTERSHOW PARTY

    Freitag 6/AUGUST/2010 - ODONIEN/Köln
    23:00/8€

    DJ's:
    Jake The Rapper (Bar25/Combination rec)
    Marc Lansley (Substatic)
    Esther Silex(Like)
    Anja Base(Goys N'Birls/electronic beats/123 Rakete)
    Dennis Bigell(Goys N'Birls)
    Djs with bad haircuts(Wilde Renate/Berlin)
    + Special Guest
    and many other specials

    Promo Text:
    --------------------------------------------
    Party-Olympioniken, Körper-Kommunarden und Queer-Denker aufgepasst:
    Pünktlich zu den Gay Games trägt am Freitag, den 6. August das Staatsgebiet Odonien zur sexiesten Körperertüchtigung des Sommers bei:
    Gleich drei Teams aus der Kaviar-Theke des guten Geschmacks lassen die Herzrate steigen:

    Goys'n Birls & Kommune 1 & das Secret Island Nation Team presents:
    Secret Odonien Nation Games

    Die DJs der ÄtherYouth (Dennis Bigell/Anja Base) lassen auf dem Goys&Birls Floor keinen Muskel ruhen wenn es um Queersoul, Sexfunk, Dancepunk, Alternative und Elektropop geht, Herzklopfen und erhöhter Puls sind bei den Machern der Goys&Birls Partys inklusive.

    Die Kommune wird sicherstellen, dass der Bass nicht nur die Endorphine tanzen lässt. Berlin entsendet mit Djs with bad haircuts eine olympisches Feuer für die Ohren und sorgt für die Bereitschaft zur Ekstase, die Jake the Rapper (Combination Records) und Marc Lansley (Substatic) locker herstellen werden.

    Für internationales Flair sorgt die Secret Island Nation, die sich von der Insel Ulsholmen vor den Toren Göteborgs nach Odonien begibt, um nicht nur den musikalischen State of Mind zu dopen sondern mit der Community die große Afterparty „Sweutschlands“ zu zelebrieren.

    Get physical – in an island state of mind by Goys&Birls!
