it has to end in .jpg, .gif., .bmp, etc.

― Good Dog (Good Dog), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 02:15 (nineteen years ago)

I think I relate to the Lawrence one the most.

― Good Dog (Good Dog), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 02:20 (nineteen years ago)

So basically they all look the same (except for Lawrence's God love him.) PAINT YOUR WALLS GUYS!

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 02:21 (nineteen years ago)

i'm so envious of andre galluzzi's beautiful hardwood floors!

― any cop (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 02:34 (nineteen years ago)

what a koze little place

― geoff (gcannon), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 03:03 (nineteen years ago)

i like villalobos' the best, he's got that dope chair and the implication of a second floor

― bijoux (bijoux), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 03:16 (nineteen years ago)

I feel liberated in not having painted my walls now. Thank you German vinyl addict people.

― the dow nut industrial average dead joe mama besser (donut), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 03:17 (nineteen years ago)

lol villalobos must be a giant!

― a name means a lot just by itself (lfam), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 03:18 (nineteen years ago)

The last two are pretty nice looking... these are more like workspaces/studios than living rooms surely... at least with Richie Hawtin's you can see through to some actual living space.

on preview: Yeah, Villalobos has that great wooden chair! I want one.

― DougD (DougD), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 03:25 (nineteen years ago)

let me know when they want to shoot the NYC edition...

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 03:30 (nineteen years ago)

Sven Vath's setup reminds me of early Cronenberg movies

― yours fondly, harshaw. (mrgn), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 06:13 (nineteen years ago)

Tobias Rapp's living room to thread!

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 06:19 (nineteen years ago)

I guess it's kinda fitting that Sven Väth still has those mid-nineties Goa trance speakers.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 06:21 (nineteen years ago)

But you do know that all of these rooms stink of stale spliffs and sweat, don't you?

― Hot Hot Heat (Hot Hot Heat), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 06:22 (nineteen years ago)

Yoy gotta love Väth's "embedded in the furniture" turntables though.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 06:24 (nineteen years ago)

Is anyone else kind of amused how few records are in Hell's room?

― Telephonething (Telephonething), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 07:52 (nineteen years ago)

maybe he doesn't keep them in his living room?

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 07:54 (nineteen years ago)

Probably the case. But still kind of an interesting contrast to the rest.

― Telephonething (Telephonething), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 07:54 (nineteen years ago)

DJ Hell seems to have the largest flat, but it really goes to show how much more space one could have once you clear out all the records.

― NoTimeBeforeTime (Barry Bruner), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 08:03 (nineteen years ago)

DJ T's is very neat.

Poor Lawrence, despite his pristine music it looks like he actually had to throw away hundreds of McDonalds bags that were lying around, before they took the photo.

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 08:03 (nineteen years ago)

Magda, make the tea!

― Nedpoleon (NedBeauman), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 08:24 (nineteen years ago)

Heh! DJ Hell and the Weights Bench!

― JohnFoxxsJuno (JohnFoxxsJuno), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 11:11 (nineteen years ago)

I love/want DJ Koze's.

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 11:25 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah Koze is the coolest one, and has the coolest house.

DJ T's horribly anal set-up makes me dislike the prissiness of his records even more now.

― Jacob (Jacob), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 11:30 (nineteen years ago)

Is Villalobos using the IKEA shelves for his vinyl?

― Billy Dods (Billy Dods), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 11:36 (nineteen years ago)

DJ T's horribly anal set-up makes me dislike the prissiness of his records even more now.

Sorted by Label and Producer apparently...

I liked the way his favorite record was "Yes sir I can boogie" everyone else being awfully cagy or elitist!

― Kv_nol (Kv_nol), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 11:49 (nineteen years ago)

These are great. But you should have put them up as a quiz, match room to DJ. I think I would have got Sven Hath straight away.

DJ Koze seems to live in the spare room at his mum's.

― Bidfurd (Bidfurd), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 12:28 (nineteen years ago)

villalobos looks like he lives in a mod-for-'67 ski lodge

― katie quirk (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 12:43 (nineteen years ago)

these are like algorithmic brain scans of their respective owners

― Matos-Webster Dictionary (M Matos), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 12:47 (nineteen years ago)

strongo: i would love to see the mid-90s equivalent of these
matos: bubble machines

strongo: like, marc acardipane

DJ T's horribly anal set-up makes me dislike the prissiness of his records even more now.

Amazing, i was thinking the same thing! :)

Lawrence is totally in character (when he looks out of the window there's probably some drug deal going on).

I was expecting Villalobos place to be a total mess.

― Omar (Omar), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 13:13 (nineteen years ago)

I'm disappointed in Hawtin having the same computer chair as mine. It's the Ikea Allak: http://www.ikea.com.sg/images/products/pe103490%20allak%20swiv%20chr%20leather-artificial%20leather%20black.jpg

Pretty bogstandard really. I would have thought that with the filthy minimal luchre he might be able to stretch for the much more comfortable and aesthetically pleasing Aras:

"Tobias Rapp's living room to thread!"

Hey Tim! It scares me a little bit, how even living rooms of non-DJs like myself tend to look as if... But what can you do. You have to put them somewhere.

Actually I think there's a connection between the bad second hand-Techno-records situation in Berlin and the fast that rent is cheap. You're never forced to carry your records to a storage room, you just get some more shelves. So you never miss paying for the storage room and the stuff never gets to thrift stores. Good for some people, bad for some people.

"DJ T's horribly anal set-up makes me dislike the prissiness of his records even more now."

But I have to defend DJ T. They have the photostory in Groove because a record store offers the service to DJs to clean up their collection and give it a certain order. DJ T was the first one who asked them to do it. That's why it looks the way it looks. And I heard it was a lot of work.

― Tobias Rapp (Tobias Rapp), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 15:05 (nineteen years ago)

fast= fact

― Tobias Rapp (Tobias Rapp), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 15:05 (nineteen years ago)

a record store offers the service to DJs to clean up their collection and give it a certain order.

i need this service!

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 15:09 (nineteen years ago)

hawtins is exactly as i would imagine, back at the lodge, solar panels on the roof

― Tommy Woodry (tommywoodry), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 15:09 (nineteen years ago)

i'd bet money on the fact that villalobos has a housecleaner (either that or tia is a fucking saint).

― philip sherburne (philip sherburne), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 15:09 (nineteen years ago)

haha you effin namedropper

― katie quirk (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 15:13 (nineteen years ago)

I love the villalobos chair!

― Dominique (dleone), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 15:20 (nineteen years ago)

sorry, HIS GIRLFRIEND tia.
and yeah, i want that fucking chair too....

― philip sherburne (philip sherburne), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 15:20 (nineteen years ago)

I really had to laugh when I saw Sven Vaeths set-up - golden record players! Red designer speakers! The carpet! The way the golden record players are sunk into this obviously very expensive wood thing!

― Tobias Rapp (Tobias Rapp), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 15:22 (nineteen years ago)

wouldn't be surprised about a housecleaner. lawrence's is most appealing in some ways, while villalobos's is a bit more adult.

sven vath's place makes me shiver-- very scary carpet.

also, whoever said 'paint your walls': you are forgetting that these are Germans. white walls are standard, beautiful, and without clutter.

― trees (treesessplode), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 15:23 (nineteen years ago)

GOD BLESS LAWRENCE. the rest of them are pretty much the same although Koze's has some personality at least.

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 15:39 (nineteen years ago)

i probably like Sven Vath's least, even though it looks the most expensive.

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 15:40 (nineteen years ago)

the first thing i thought when i saw most of these (save lawrence's): FUCK THESE GERMANS WITH THEIR ENOOOOOOOORMOUS (and probably very affordable) APARTMENTS. and i live in barcelona, for crying out loud - i'm hardly confined to new york proportions. but i look at some of these sprawling spaces and i feel, i dunno, like veal or something.

― philip sherburne (philip sherburne), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 15:49 (nineteen years ago)

also lawrence with isolee t-shirt :)

― a name means a lot just by itself (lfam), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 16:09 (nineteen years ago)

attn richie hawtin
get one maid

― RoxyMuzak© (roxymuzak), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 16:10 (nineteen years ago)

thats lawrence's, not hawtin's

― señor citizen (eman), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 16:15 (nineteen years ago)

For a reasonable fee (plus transportation, food, lodging), I can give your collection the lived-in look of Lawrence with the order of DJ T (though purposefully facing out your records is kinda corny).

― Andy_K (Andy_K), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 18:16 (nineteen years ago)

Psshhh it's easy to keep your room that clean and organized when you're on coke all day.

― Period period period (Period period period), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 18:44 (nineteen years ago)

these fuckers living rooms are bigger than my apartment

― katie quirk (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 18:45 (nineteen years ago)

yes. and one of them is sven vath.

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 18:49 (nineteen years ago)

The should do this with different genres.

― deej.. (deej..), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 18:55 (nineteen years ago)

you could call it ... "cribs"

― deej.. (deej..), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 18:55 (nineteen years ago)

das kribs

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 18:56 (nineteen years ago)

I totally want to see Black Metal Cribs or Grime Cribs! Also the thing on Lord of the Decks 2 where they visit Wiley's studio/apartment is like the best thing ever.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 19:04 (nineteen years ago)

Hell's weight bench is awesome.

― scrimhaw1837 (son_of_scrimshaw), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 19:11 (nineteen years ago)

That looks like 145 lbs, maybe? Hell strikes me as a low-reps/max-out-every-day type rather than a high-reps type. DAF is good weightlifting music, though I'm getting a vision of him listening to "Art Decade" while pushing it to the limit.

Lawrence obviously has a limit on owning things that aren't gray-black-white.

― Andy_K (Andy_K), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 19:23 (nineteen years ago)

Also: Hell probably lifts with his scarf on.

― Andy_K (Andy_K), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 19:25 (nineteen years ago)

I like how the records on display in DJ T's room totally sum up his aesthetic. But Koze trumps him with Moroder staring out at you.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 20:11 (nineteen years ago)

i'm a little bit terrified of the kind of porno they shoot at sven's place.

― bleep (bleep), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 20:29 (nineteen years ago)

Not surprising at all to see Hell a weightlifter: look at the Gigolo logo.

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 22:01 (nineteen years ago)

who is the dude with the marine girls as his most valuable record?

let me know when they want to shoot the NYC edition...

that would just be depressing/aggravating. it would either be shots of destitute degenerate record collectors with boxes of records cluttered around tiny apartments, with barely enough room for the photographer to get in, or expansive lofts from people clearly being supported externally.

― Dan Gr (certain), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 22:51 (nineteen years ago)

this thread http://img83.imageshack.us/img83/1933/fivestarstb0.jpg by the way

I wanna see Cassy's pad! I bet she has like an enourmous shagpile rug and friendly labradors and a teasmade next to the turntables.

― ten kebabs maaaaate (fandango), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 22:56 (nineteen years ago)

Jesus christ, how do people get so much money to buy so many records AND have such beautiful homes.

As much as I love sleek, orderly, neat interiors, I have so much respect for Lawrence's place. Unpretencious and down to business.

I think it's a tie between ricardo and sven's respective homes for my favourite though

― Thomas Mehlt (Tokyo Ghost Stories), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 23:18 (nineteen years ago)

ILX "DJs Post your mixes" DJs and their living rooms. 3 2 1 go.

less records, more bowie/iron.

someone did a book that was the hip-hop version of this last winter:

― grady (grady), Thursday, 21 September 2006 00:11 (nineteen years ago)

it looks like an expensive variation on one of those. the red oak ones on that page are FUG.

― jed_ (jed), Thursday, 21 September 2006 00:12 (nineteen years ago)

i like ATA's

beautiful ethnic rug(s)
warholian multiple poster hanging
mix of old and new
very very few records
looks like a room you can actually do stuff in
could use a plant, though

― the art ensemble of chicago house (vahid), Thursday, 21 September 2006 00:43 (nineteen years ago)

ellen allien's is aesome!!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 21 September 2006 00:53 (nineteen years ago)

funny that DJ T's, Ellen Allien's, AND Tiefschwarz' are all collections organized by Niko of Rotation

― that's so taylrr (ken taylrr), Thursday, 21 September 2006 01:14 (nineteen years ago)

my favorite thing about ata's: those big paintings turned toward the wall, so all you see is the frames and blank canvas backing... the intrigue! like, is dude a gallerist in his spare time??

― philip sherburne (philip sherburne), Thursday, 21 September 2006 02:13 (nineteen years ago)

DJ Koze's has a grotty old birkenstock in the forground. Ewww.

― tylero (tylero), Thursday, 21 September 2006 02:33 (nineteen years ago)

I would love to see Grime Cribs.

― RoxyMuzak© (roxymuzak), Thursday, 21 September 2006 02:45 (nineteen years ago)

tiefschwarz = looks exactly like what my dj friend did to his old bedroom when he was living in his parent's basement. obv doesn't spend much time at home

andre galluzi = tedious record nerd

dj koze = let's not give the guy too much credit for living in his parent's basement

dj t = extremely tedious record nerd

ellen allien = i hate it. all it's missing is a disgusting nagel print.

dj hell = terrible! dining in your sleeping space? "excuse me, helmut, i can't enjoy this spaghetti you made me, your weight bench reeks!" "pardon me while i get off the couch and bang my head on this low japanese lamp"

lawrence = i hate your music but your production space makes sense at least.

richie hawtin = excellent!! if it had an ethnic rug and more art i'd like it better than ATA's.

sven vath = looks like the waiting room of the parallax corporation

villalobos = rather sleazy looking. early 80s california coastal bachelor-pad chic. something tells me a lot of shit gets snorted off the glass table.

― the art ensemble of chicago house (vahid), Thursday, 21 September 2006 02:46 (nineteen years ago)

i imagine basic channel living together in a great cavernous building, like every room a gymnasium

― a name means a lot just by itself (lfam), Thursday, 21 September 2006 02:53 (nineteen years ago)

I can relate most to Hawtin's setup as it's quite similar to my lofty office space at home, and Villalobos' is most like my living room (although that's a stretch!).

― Andrew (enneff), Thursday, 21 September 2006 02:56 (nineteen years ago)

i like how tiefschwartz has those precariously balanced vertical record stacks just teetering on the brink.

hawtin's is pretty damn nice (nice gear too [/geek]. i'd like to see what those doors open out onto

hahahahahahaa

― señor citizen (eman), Thursday, 21 September 2006 03:09 (nineteen years ago)

tiefschwartz's is dismaying. it looks like a garage with a picture window.

― a name means a lot just by itself (lfam), Thursday, 21 September 2006 03:21 (nineteen years ago)

so, who's going to start translating Groove into English for the rest of us? i need more techno dorkiness in my own language.

...and Koze has an MS-20 AND a Space Echo!

I like that rackmounted thing to the right of Hawtin's computer that looks like a control panel from a WWII submarine (maybe an old mixer?). A nice contrast to the sleek Apple modernism.

I love Villalobos' shelving for his records, arranged in 4 cubes of 16, 64 in all. Very computery.

― Zachary Scott (Zach S), Friday, 29 September 2006 00:04 (nineteen years ago)

hate to say it but those look like Ikea Expedits.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Friday, 29 September 2006 00:40 (nineteen years ago)

you could be right 2 banks of expidits with one stacked on another. makes sense since there is a break in the middle. they look good!

― jed_ (jed), Friday, 29 September 2006 00:45 (nineteen years ago)

Those are Expedits. I wish my ceilings were high enough to stack two of them! I am slightly annoyed by the upper light panel not hanging straight in between the Expedit-stacks...
Looks like that piece of garment on the chair in Lawrence's appartment has the We Are Monster cover art :-)
Love the Bowie posters in Hell's room.

That and you'd probably weep if you found out how cheap their beautiful rents were.

IRL, I'd probably be slumming it a bit with Lawrence's place, but I relate best to Andre Galuzzi's setup. I see a chair way off to the left (maybe there's an actual table next to it?) but otherwise there isn't any furniture other than stuff used to store music or equipment. I love the cage setup with the turntables, and he even "sorts" his records like I do -- a giant mess except for one separate pile for unheard records. The "sex is good" sign would have to go though.

just readin these comments had me in stitches last night;just what the doctor ordered.....;D

maybe that tune"the white rooms" by Booka Shade was all about their dj friends living/music rooms....

"Koze's living room in action"

WTF?

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Sunday, 5 November 2006 20:38 (nineteen years ago)

I think the idea of them getting drunk and going and playing classic techno karaoke is hilarious...

― Ronan (Ronan), Sunday, 5 November 2006 22:17 (nineteen years ago)

there's a Vollenweider album in Koze's room...
I like the Andre Galluzzi's ceiling - totally Prenzlauerberg.

My goodness, Dominik Eulberg's room is great, it's 100% bedroom of 16 year old male, for some reason, the first thing that came to mind was that I half expected to see old Nirvana posters.

http://thelastbeat.com/img/2007/dominik_eulberg.jpg

And again, to the picture above, God, what a collection.

I want to see Afrika Bambataa's living room or something.

― am0n, Tuesday, 18 September 2007 05:21 (eighteen years ago)

supposedly michael reinboth had to have his floors reinforced to take all that weight as his house was visibly cracking at the seams with the weight of 60 000 records.

"hey tim is "middle class" australian code for "actually liveable and comfy and non-bachelorish"?"

Yes! I wasn't trying to put them down. It's just that I had a sense that Ame's house was going to be nice and stylish but not self-consciously distinctive (a la Vath's, Hell's etc.). It looks like my living room!

― Tim F, Tuesday, 18 September 2007 08:13 (eighteen years ago)

i bet the sound in kohncke's is awesome. i noticed the soul jazz tom moulton comp sticking out of the record box, too.

― tricky, Tuesday, 18 September 2007 22:07 (eighteen years ago)

kohncke's looks like a very industrious hobo has fashioned himself a living space in a disused subway stop

eulberg's looks pretty much like what i expected from "the early 90s equivalent of these" i was talking about with matos up thread

this is spot-on except where's the SCHWA poster and the pot plant?

― moonship journey to baja, Tuesday, 18 September 2007 23:56 (eighteen years ago)

yes, Dominik Eulberg's room look's like mine when i was in highschool (minus all the records of course)

I think that's more a result of living in England for the first 13 years of his life a la Slick Rick (While nonetheless someone like Ricardo moves to Germany at 3 and is touted as being Mr. Chile, but that's another story altogether).
