  Willkommen! Willkommen, schnell kommen Sie bitte rein und setzen Sie sich irgendwo bequem hin. Falls Sie Popcorn oder na schnaps möchten gibts umsonst beim Kiosk. Bitteschön. Welcome! As I already told our German speaking audience; Welcome! Come on in and get comfortable. If you’re in the mood for popcorn or some schnapps you can get it for free at the Kiosk. Okay, now that we’ve created the mood for today I hope you enjoy what the show will be bring you. The title of today’s post is “Theaterstück” translated “A play”. I thought it matched well with the way I like to present this radio show, by trying to get you to use your creative imagination to see what Germany is bringing this afternoon. Every Artist is presenting you with a new scene, so if you do not fully grasp the language through sound you can mentally get an idea, and vaguely “See” the message they are trying to get across. Practice makes perfect, keinen stress. Today there is going to be a wave of artists that I think will give you the exact dose of Deutsch that you’ll need going into the weekend. Now think about this, the genre of Hip-Hop was created in the mid-1970s by African Americans and Latinos on the East Coast of the United States, a phenomenon that has now swept the globe. It has core elements of DJ-ing, rapping, breakdancing, and graffiti – all of which shapes and diversifies an ever-growing range of artistic, cultural, political, intellectual and social practices. Hip-Hop represents a remarkable contribution to world culture with its vision and message of change, not only locally and nationally but globally. It has emerged as a culture that integrates and encourages innovative practices of expression and social identity, just as much as political mobilization in countries. I read a book by Jeff Chang called “The Art Aesthetics of Hip-Hop “ in it he states, “Hip-Hop is one of the most far-reaching art movements of the past three decades.” In regard to the world of Hip-Hop, it no longer is a dominating force solely in the United States, but has become a widespread practice of handling unity and oppression across the globe. Shifting the focus to the Hip-Hop scene in Germany, since the 2000s through Hip-Hop, Germany has transformed into a powerhouse! Viel Spass!

Hallo alle zusammen habt ihr mich vermisst 😉 Also packt euren Koffer und kommt mit, wir fliegen nach Venus! Did you miss me? Re Imagine yourself at the Frankfurter Flughafen, you just checked your bags (Koffer), and are relaxing at the Gate getting ready to board Deutscher Jam. Reminder: I don’t know what you want but i’m going to give you what you need. Ich weiss nicht was ihr wollt aber ich gib euch was ihr braucht. I’m your Captain, Janell, and today’s show is going to transport us to the planet Venus. Today is going to be all about the ladies as KeKe states in her song Fugazi, Hautfarbe Energie (Skin color: Energy) so I hope you feel the vibrations these women are bringing through the radio waves. We are going to be starting with Eunique, one of my favorite artists from the Hansestadt meaning Hamburg. Konig Kobra(Queen Kobra) or as her fans say, the gefahrliche kikikiki Kobra, is a young German Artist from the city of Hamburg bringing modern German realness. I find Eunique to be an inspiration and motivation because she shows through her road to success that with hard work, dedication, and patience your dreams can become a reality. She is the Queen Kobra and created a Kobra Militar full of women who serve the purpose of pushing and empowering one another in their journey to success. It is very clear that Eunique strives for female empowerment and her motivation is towards growth for not only herself but also for her Kobras. Now, that is the energy we need as soon as Deutscher Jam lands. Feel the power behind the voices of these women. Again Deutscher Jam is here to strip all the stereotypes you may imagine when picturing Germany and get you a real look into the culture.

Touching back to 1989, if we look at the last 30 years and the evolution of a classic German Hip-Hop artist we see it has diversified into an entity of its own. The course of the past 30 years has moved quickly on a micro level, showcasing Germany’s ability to adapt to foreign resources and mold them into their own. There is so much unexplored in regards to German Hip-Hop today, this genre that was brought from across the Atlantic in the 1980s, and how it has pushed a youth movement to restore and rebrand the face of a nation. After the “Wende” turning point, as Germans say, Deutschrap German rap had not had much air time. The Fantastischen Vier were commercially the 1st to receive public fame in Hip-Hop with their song “Sie ist Weg” which sparked a push on the charts. The girl group, Tic Tac Toe, with their song “Ich find dich scheisse” (I think you’re sh***y) was a statement to women that they should  never, as a German says, put a “Blatt vor’m mund” or censor yourself for society. The evolution of a German female artist has grown immensely addressing social issues, male toxicity, struggles for respected independence, involvement or representation in politics, und so weiter. These women have started a revolution against their established society, reshaping exactly what being a bad *** is. Post World War ll, Germans struggled with national identity and Hip-Hop created a platform for women, but more specifically it ignited a change and motivated a rebranding of their community. The current generation of women are reshaping everything about what being “Made in Germany” truly looks like! As the show takes off, enjoy the intergalactic vibrations and sounds this universe has to offer before we dive into what the show has to offer.

Hallo alle zusammen macht’s euch bequem weil Heute gibts noch einen Kaffeeklatsch und zur Gast haben wir Andrew. Welcome to todays Kaffeeklatsch as our Guest we have Andrew der Experte aus dem Hauptstadt Berlin. Imagine yourself kicking it with us at the cafe *drink something* for memories sake I would like to transcend you to Cafe Journal. A Cafe in the 7th District of Vienna that radiates the type of energy that will spark soul conversations that carry you into a universe of possibilities.  Cafe Journal is one of my favorite places to meet up with Freunde not because of the bier oder schnapps but because unlike Germany you can smoke cigarettes indoors. It creates a vibe and like always the owner happens to be the Oma at the teke is having a Bier with guests. I love it the art of people watching it is so mysterious yet intriguing to do. You begin to recognize cultural habits, dialects, moods, stories, and energies. One can not help but feed off of this energy for it adds food to thought as if one isn’t already in a constant  philosophical state abroad. What i love about Germany along with Austria and other countries is lust to constantly question things come into discussions or as a topic. Nothing can be answered with a simple yes or no hence why Germans hate small talk,I Agree. Speaking without purpose is a major turn off and as every German will attest if you willing to step into the ring of discussion you better have done your homework. Pulling us into what our kaffeeklatsch’s purpose is. We want you to feel at home when your listening into the show give you not what you want but more so what you need. When you notice how europeans hate being rushed it’s because a filling conversation should not be rushed for it nourishes your soul. Kaffeeklatsches can go in a million directions let’s see what me and Andrew have to talk about in this Klatsch for you guys. A little knowledge for the day to pull into you next kaffeeklatsch with anyone is this in reference to Hip-Hop influence of Germans youth.  The creation of German community centers is what helped pushed Germany in a positive direction through its use of combing Hip-Hop in its locations. Community and youth centers were established at local levels, yet organized mainly by the Bundesvereinigung Soziokultureller Zentren (Federal Association of Socio-Cultural Centers). Their aim was to be an outlet for artistic-creative self-determination, cultural empowerment, and integration of cultures Hip-Hop shaped the society of the German youth by becoming an outlet of education, diversification, socialization, of different classes in a creative space. Hip-Hop pushed the society post world war to becoming a solution to nativist extremism amongst the youth. Germany used the genre to redirect the youth’s aggression and anger in Hip-Hop giving them a mechanism to express themselves through their voices. The nationwide transmission of eastern Hip-Hop stimulated the desire to exchange musical ideas and information. Hip-Hop in Germany is what through education helped encourage the youth to experiment with spray cans, learn dance moves, and express themselves musically and lyrically.  The biggest example of the cultural melting pot of ideas that lead into a greater artistic outcome is the well-known neighborhood Kreuzberg apart of the metropolitan city Berlin. To add to this portion of what has been said it what has not, what has not been said is how much those youth centers have aided in creating and allowed fellow Germans to reach fame within the country.

Guten Tag alle zusammen I hope you enjoy the vibes that Deutscher Jam will be bringing to you today. Schnallt euch an fasten your seatbelts because jetzt reden wir klartext touching back Germany has grown so much as a whole from destruction, trauma , war and dark history. Since the emergence of Hip Hop back in 1989 the country has taken a sound reworked it into its own to help current generations redesign exactly what being German is. Der Motto “Alles oder Nix” translates to the concept that free space is not given it must be taken. It is no accident that alternate visions, concepts and creativity reached a high point during the 1980s in West Berlin and during 1990s in the eastern part of the inner City”. The urban situation of the cities used the genre as a vehicle to have their voices heard from each of angle of the country through its “underground scene” and “rebellion is an important factor in the reasoning on why Germany let alone Berlin has become such a leading competitor in being a part of the global marketing of Music. Berlin is not so much a global elite in the aspect of creative industries yet keeps its authenticity in thriving  through its creative entrepreneurs. The course of the past 30 years has been moved quickly on a micro level showcasing Germanys ability to adapt and take a foreign resource recreate it into its own and use it to help a country thrive through its people and showcases to the world what it is capable of.There is so much unexplored in regards to Hip-Hop today the genre that was brought from across the Atlantic in the 1980s has pushed a youth movement to restore and rebrand the face of a nation. After the “Wende” turning point as Germans say, Deutschrap German rap had not had much existence. The girl group, Tic Tac Toe, with their song “Ich find dich scheisse” is the blueprint that showed women to never, as German says, put a “Blatt vor’m mund” or censor yourself for society hence my love for SXTN reinforcing that concept.A new generation of Germans erupted into the rap game pushing to show the face of diversity Germany had to offer. This generation of Germans are looking to rebrand the face of Germany by pushing with a movement of voices to repaint a picture of what being means today. Touching back remember Kraftwerks song”Computer love”? The rise of techno and recently also Hip-Hop has created a successful cultural district with rapid cultural transformation since the Fall of the wall stressing the importance of the creative class. As stated numerous times if we go back in time to revisit 1989 we can actively see how Hip-Hop slowly slipped through the cracks of Germanys censored walls through the radio, troops, and film. Berlin along with many other cultural hubs of Germany has managed to showcases through music how they have became a global player in the music industry due to its dynamic club and music subculture s ever evolving creative muse.

Hallo alle zusammen, as the title of the show states “One can see eternity through the iris”. Deutscher Jam is designed to give the feeling of kicking it with me at the Cafe meaning i strive to keep the show as relaxed *Entspannt* as possible. This second living room feeling through listening to the show either on 97.3 FM or live streaming should create the ambience you need. As i state on the show numerous times I don’t know what you want but I am going to give you what you need. Today’s description of the show will be personal in deliverance opposed to usual historical facts.Throughout the show while I create the mood I want you to keep in mind two things. First all of its stereotypes, that Germans eat only sausage, wear lederhosen, are humorless, that Bavaria resembles what the country looks like, and is solely a white country. Second through taking you to a places that my dual lenses can see I am showing you how Germany has transformed itself by current generations actively rebrand Germany through use of music in order to separate itself from its dark history. Germans have been actively working on ground level to rebrand who they are and what it means to be German. Being German is being diverse and dynamic we see this through how artists have reshaped what being German means through storytelling in music. Since post World War ll Germans have struggled with national identity, and Hip-Hop has created a platform for Germans to ignite change and rebrand the face of their society. This current generation of Hip-Hop artists are reshaping everything about what being “Made in Germany” means and how they are actively embracing the language instead of shaming it. The passion that pushes Deutscher Jam is the child like energy of constantly being in “Aww” of the country and through speaking discovery the endless possibilities of growth and harmony that could be established through expressing my gratitude.Discussing works for one society and the other helps narrow down possible solutions for the future. So as discussed last show the “Kaffeklatsch” look we’ve seen this work and what we believe everyone would be a solution to the societies longing for happiness by giving them an active mental image. So on the show when I say let me take you their, what I am saying is turn on your creative imagination and get ready for the trip into eternity.

Much the country has evolved into a modern-day musical powerhouse. I am making this bold statement, for I have personally watched and am a part a generation of Germans who are pushing to reshape the picture of Germany through the use of Hip-Hop. The only research that has been done in regards to Hip-Hop in Germany revolves around the emergence of the genre in the country.There is intense focus on how American troops played an intricate role in introducing Hip-Hop and its multiple facets to a German speaking society. We get insight on how East and West Germany have taken a genre from across the Atlantic used it for social, political, and economic issues.In Germany, through Hip-Hop, the youth created a movement called the “Jugendbewegung”. Let us get back to the basics and focus on where it all started  back in a time where Germany was still divided.  This new genre of music was received and adopted differently between the two states political and cultural translation. Where the West “Federal Republic of Germany” was more liberal and integrated transatlantic flows of commodities, people, and images, the East “ German Democratic Republic” still clenched in the tight grip of the Soviet Union, only received glimpses of the global sounds coming through the Iron Curtain.  Regardless of the state of the Republic in the mid-1980s, the Hip-Hop scene emerged through the youth culture. The influx just as infusion of American troops stationed in Europe after World ll brought a wide range of music with them while stationed in Germany. The Americans  combined with newly created German culture policies help in creating those state sanctioned cultural hubs for German youth that supported performance of musical arts in both the FRG and GDR.Troops that were stationed in some of the most metropolis cities such as Heidelberg, Frankfurt, and Berlin were a key instrument in the development of Hip-Hop in the West. Between American DJs, rappers, and breakers combined with German youth, television, just as cinema  became a crucial medium that communicated Hip-Hop culture to Germany. It is vital to know that Americans have played a huge role in the intricate creation of a blueprint that  Germans have used to rework into their own version of what Hip-Hop is a German speaking society. Hip-Hop is the biggest youth culture movement that has ever happened, and Hip-Hop in Germany is bigger today than ever before. It is a movement that has been reworked for the past 40 years and developed into a multifaceted entity, and there are four major elements – DJ-ing, breakdancing, graffiti, and rap. What we can watch today and why I propose focusing on the statement that I believe that Germany is a powerhouse in the music industry due to Hip-Hop.

Hallo Leute!

Growing up I watched the German speaking society diversify in deliverance of the its people, fashion, along with the reshaping of the language. Recognizing that Germany has become a musical powerhouse gives us an inside look on a different side of a German speaking society. Germans have taken a genre introduced to them in 1989, reworked it into their own entity and used it as form of social justice, empowerment, diversification, and push for pride in national identity. My mission is to pull individuals away from viewing Germans as stereotypical picture of solely drinking beer, eating sausage, wearing lederhosen, and the population only consisting of one ethnicity. This insider look into a German speaking society is what I want to share with others. I want to show the world that Germany is a force to be reckoned with, and that it is on a steady upward climb to becoming a new face of what Hip-Hop has to offer.. It is vital to know that Americans have played a huge role in the intricate creation of a blueprint that Germans have used to rework into their own version of what Hip-Hop is a German speaking society. Hip-Hop is the biggest youth culture movement that has ever happened, and Hip-Hop in Germany is bigger today than ever before. It is a movement that has been reworked for the past 40 years and developed into a multifaceted entity, and there are four major elements – DJ-ing, breakdancing, graffiti, and rap. What we can watch today and why I propose focusing on the statement that I believe that Germany is a powerhouse in the music industry due to Hip-Hop. What Germans have done with it we can see today as the biggest youth culture movement in the world. Hip-Hop like a classic tape cassette has pulled Germanys past four generations and wound it into a form of expression through bold statements. The spirit of Hip-Hop has been a thriving force to create something out of nothing, that one’s background is irrelevant, and talent is what pulls a community of voices together to spark change. The blueprint which all of my knowledge focus on, showcases the hero’s and role models that have created what Hip-Hop is today in Germany and what is soon to come, and generations proceed.

Today’s show is going to have your mind floating in the clouds sehr lassig sehr entspannt. Very chill, very relaxed today I want you to feel the raw emotion these Artists are bringing to you today. Focus on the emotion through the German tone, sound, and flow again music has no language as long as those three are in perfect sync. Feel the authenticity through music my dual lenses that i’m using to showcase Germany should give you the insider look that you all need! Now, we can not talk about Authenticity without taking about Berlin. Throughout the time of  reunification Berlin has recently created the next hub for German rap artists. Today Hip-Hop has formed and diversified the German Hip-Hop scene so much it has helped shaped society. From when Hip-Hop slowly slipped through the cracks of a censored Germany through radio, troops, and film the city has mismanaged to become a global player in the music industry  due to its dynamic club and music subculture.Now for a brief focus on Kreuzberg today – the hipster central of Berlin yet also the musical community of the city. Flowing through the musical veins of Berlin is a combination of all types of music ranging from indie music, R&B, pop, techno all the way to Hip-Hop. Hip-Hop has made the city thrive due to its authenticity in being in connection to what is local and embodies the lifestyle of typical local subcultures. Authenticity of Berlin, Frankfurt, Bremen, Hamburg, Heidelberg, and so on is  key elements in the country ability to take wat was given to them in the 1980s and thrive in the global music market showcasing the wide variety of talent the country has to offer.”. The urban situation of the city of the countries push to have their voices heard from each of angle of the country through its “underground scene” and “rebellion is an important factor in the reasoning on why Germany let alone Berlin has become such a leading competitor in being a part of the global marketing of Music. Berlin is not so much a global elite in the aspect of creative industries yet keeps its authenticity in thriving  through its creative entrepreneurs. The course of the past 30 years has been moved quickly on a micro level showcasing Germany’s ability to adapt and take a foreign resource recreate it into its own and use it to help a country thrive through its people and showcases to the world what it is capable of. There is so much unexplored in regards to Hip-Hop today the genre that was brought from across the Atlantic in the 1980s has pushed a youth movement to restore and rebrand the face of a nation.
