45x45 Sessions feat. Marc Hype & Ben*

In the organizer's words:

20:00 I Late Night I 💿 JAKI

Do Believe The Hype

When Ben* (turntable JAZZ) - legendary resident of Cologne's STECKEN and the even more legendary UNIQUE CLUB from Düsseldorf, now official DJ of hip hop heavyweight YASIIN BEY (aka Mos Def) - completed his second European tour under the 45 x 45 banner with Japanese turntablist DJ KOCO aka SHIMOKITA in April 2024, they started their journey at the new SOUNDBALL #1 event at STADTGARTEN & JAKI.

Organized in cooperation with Cologne-based producer DJ & GROOVE ATTACK (co-owner TWIT ONE), the two gathered for a night dedicated to vinyl DJ culture. On two floors, they offered the live premiere of SOUL SUPREME & BAND, a surprise performance by the British SUMMER SONS, as well as an army of DJs & friends with many small (and big) records to the completely sold-out audience, creating an unforgettable evening and many memories to come.

Following on from this success and at the request of many guests, ben* is now organizing a regular monthly Thursday at JAKI dedicated entirely to the theme 45 x 45, before planning LIve premieres and more surprises with TWIT ONE for the next SOUNDBALL #2 on 14.12.2024

Starting October 17th, Ben* will invite the JAKI one evening a month with various guests from his international & national circle of colleagues and present the range of love for 45s (7inch singles). He won't be DJing himself every night, but rather presenting the various genres & scenes that have dedicated themselves to the seven inch game or 45 LOVE.

In November, Ben* will be behind the turntables for the first time and has invited MARC HYPE, probably the most experienced technician in the German hip hop 45s scene, who also releases and distributes 45s worldwide with his DUSTY DONUTS label.

SPREAD THE MESSAGE!

Its a new Thursday Night in Town.

GET UP AND DANCE
