“München Beats” is running on ZDF.
Plenty of drama, plenty of love, plenty of soap opera.
Fair enough.
This coming Saturday, we’re doing something different:
We talk to the people who were actually there.
Munich in the ’90s. A city in a permanent state of exception. Old factory halls, empty buildings, the shut-down Munich-Riem airport, illegal and semi-legal parties, techno, house – and all of a sudden there were places and nights people still talk about today.
One man who doesn’t know that era from television is Götz Scheffel.
As DJ HippieShake, promoter, bar owner and – together with his brother Mathias – one of the minds behind the legendary Tanzdiebe, he was one of the people who built Munich’s night culture.
The Tanzdiebe brought parties to places where nobody had ever thought of putting a club. Götz was right in the middle of it: the big raves at the old Riem airport, the Union Move, the development of Kunstpark Ost and later the Optimolwerke.
The Tanzdiebe created events like Munich’s Biggest Party Zone, where at times up to 15,000 people moved through dozens of clubs and venues. Then came clubs and bar projects like Keller EG, Titty Twister and Pogue’s Home, plus the work around the legendary KW – Das Heizkraftwerk and the World League.
And he isn’t coming alone.
DJ LXR joins him in the studio – another witness who knows Munich’s club and DJ scene of those years first-hand.
No actors.
No rebuilt ’90s.
No soap opera.
The people who were there. The stories that really happened. And of course the music that turned Munich into a pretty wild place back then.
Dr. Feelgood meets Götz Scheffel and DJ LXR:
TANZDIEBE & LIEBE
MÜNCHEN BEATS – HOW IT REALLY WAS!
Saturday night – special show on FEELGOOD.FM
We’re turning the clock back to the ’90s.
And this time, the story is told by the people who wrote it.
