BLNRB PICS from November 2009

MADHOUSE NAIROBI

Sööööö ___
the rest of the world is at the Miami Winter Music Conference (yawn, yawn) and we are here in Nairobi!!   And Nairobi is where it's at right now!! 
Its a madhouse, the beats never stop, the MCs never go home, I'm the only woman here...... and i sleep across the corridor from one of the 3 studios that we've built up in this house.
The decor is amazing here..... 70s Swahili  Chic at its best with Indian restaurant style interrogation lighting !  
Í wish we could post photos but the internet is too slow......
Gebrueder Teichmann, Modeselektor and Jahcoozi all making musc in the same house.... and that all night long.......  its sick!
an experiment to say the least.
Ukoo Flani, Mr Abbas, Kimya , Long Jon were here... Nazizi, Just A Band and more peeps are coming next week.
craziness to say the least..... its a bit like big brother goes NRBLN_BLNRB !

TONIGHT>>>> more German/ Kenyan bonding sessions when we all play at Club Undecided in Westlands, Nairobi.  WHERE U AT KENYA????
200 Shillings including a drink...... that is about 2 euro.... which is nothing, even in Kenya.  (In fact food in Kenya is more expensive than in Berlin...)
So this aint clubbing for elite expats in Nairobi....this is for the people.... all across the board.... so spread the word!!

Umoja !!
