Sorry for the long Delay, but i’m a little sick right now and i couldn’t get myself in front of the computer till now.
Nevertheless we want to say farewell to 2008 and welcome the new year in the right way!
For us, it had been a very successful year and we hope we can stick to this in 2009.
And of course, Higher Level want to say a happy new year to all of you guys!
See you at a dance, at front of the stage.
Boom Bang!
Yes Massive, the year is done and we have just one upcoming dance in 2008 (which was a very exciting and successful year for us).
Thursday, the 25th of december we ago party with our friends from frankfurt, Rebel Rock Sound, at Club 6Null3 in Saarbrücken.
And of course, we give away free entry for two people. You just have to comment on of our blog entries and maybe you’re the lucky one.
Alright, right now we want to wish all of you a merry Christmas and, if we don’t see each other on thursday, a happy new year.
Watch out for the Level in 2-thousand-and-mine.

Tonight we’re juggling alongside the mighty Pow Pow Movement at the’re regular dance at club “Petite Prince” in cologne.
We are very excited and proud ’bout the opportunity to play along this great sound at they’re own dance.
And after the dance last week in Saarbrücken, I bet this is going to be a bad-ass party from early.
Hopefully we’re seeing some off you guys in cologne tonight.
Maybe I’m able to take a few pics, but I couldn’t promise…don’t know bout the little beers they’re offering in this city.
Later,
Level Crew
The next upcoming clash that sounds very interesting takes place in venice, italy on the 31st of january.
The thing is called “Kill or Die trying” and the contestants will be the foundation-specialist Heartical Sound from Paris, France and Northern Lights Sound from Udine, Italy.
The two sounds both was established in 1999, but nevertheless i barely heard something bout Northern Lights before this, while Heartical is well known over here. Seems like Northern Lights never played a foreign yet.
Anyways,
for me, this adds a great suprise effect and makes the clash even more interesting.
Unfortunatly I’m not able to go there, but some friends of me do.
So, I’m sure I can give you the full 100 right after the clash.
Maybe one or two days later…depends of the amount of liquor they’re sippin’ that night. 
Johnny Killah (yep, the same one that use to DJ for Tony Matterhorn) has just released a brandnew 49 shots strong All-Busy Signal-Mix CD on his myspace-page.
The Mix includes some dubs also, tracklist seems kinda interesting.
You can get your piece by clicking on the front-cover.
Shopping.
For christmas gifts.
I mean, where do all those people came from? How come they’re always looking for christmas gifts when I do?
And why do they decide to talk to each other right in front of the escalator? Everytime!
Are they really this dumb ignorant that they even not realize there are other people who want to use the escalator?
This is always increasing my blood pressure insanely.
They’re killing me!
The War Fever-Clash is done and Mango Tree took the (deserved) throphy.
Over all it was a well attended and really fair clash, couldn’t make out more then 1-2 obviously biased people in the crowd.
Sensi Movement dropped out first after the second round, which is pretty o.k. for me due to their inconstant presentation. They seems to lack concentration couple of times.
But hey, the claim to be Germany’s most blunted sound.
Nevertheless big up Sensi me dupes!
For me Mango Tree won all rounds straight because of the perfect matching MC/Selector-teamwork. Presentation was on the point. Always.
And they beat out the most Dubs this night and had a constantly flow.
Really liked what I heared.
Dub-fi-Dub was a bit sticky and the last vote was really close.
Rudeboy presented themselves well too, but the selector had some problems with the mixing sometimes, and for me they barely played unique and creative dubs.
What sticks in mind after the clash is the lack of really good and funny speeches through the night. For the next clashes all of them need to step up their MC-A-Game.
But at least their was none of the boring GSUM-Speech that’s usually brought up by most of the upcoming clash-sounds.
Must admit that this was really a good step into the future of germanys (maybe europes) clashing-scene.
Big up my friend Smoka/Guns-E-Num everytime for promoting things like that, we need more brave youth like you in the scene!
P.S.: You can check the video from the Dub-fi-Dub, filmed by the 45ers here.
Mango Trees 2nd round is also up on youtube.
The whole clash-audio will be streamed coming sunday 8p.m. CET on Blazin Vibes Reggae Radio, make sure you tune in for the full hundred.
And some early bird told me there will be a DVD of the clash coming up also.
Look out for that!
