Tipp Talk: Episode 5
 with Douglas Greed

A Misanthrope who makes Music

Douglas Greed is a Berlin DJ who released his album "Angst" in 2020, unintentionally in tune with the times. His single "Numbers" is currently going through the roof on Spotify. In 2011 he published his first album with the title “KRL”, followed by “Driven” in 2014. Rumbie talks to him about getting goosebumps, the drive for his music and why he doesn't listen to his own music after its release. "I'm a misanthrope who makes music and I don't care what others think about it," he says.

Our tipps from the Onleihe

Die große Freiheit

 Rocko Schamoni: Die große Freiheit

One name you definitely can't get past when it comes to nightlife is Rocko Schamoni. In addition to working as a writer and musician, he also ran the legendary club "Der Goldene Pudel" in Hamburg, among other things. His novel "Die große Freiheit" is available in the Onleihe as an e-book and audiobook. It is about the wild nightlife in Hamburg-St. Pauli in the 60s.

Sven Regner liest

 Sven Regener liest "Magical Mystery" (Audiobook)

Another audiobook we recommend is "Magical Mystery oder: die Rückkehr des Karl Schmidt" by Sven Regener. Just out of drug rehab, his old friends persuade him to go on a tour across Germany to reconcile the rave of the 90s with the hippie spirit of the 60s. And to do so, they need someone who is willing to stay sober. A funny, laconic, and thoughtful book read by Sven Regener himself.  If you like his style, we also recommend listening to the German-language songs by his band Element of Crime.
