You are invited to "Jukebox: The best of high five records"

Over the course of a year, we threw 12 High 5 parties, each themed to a very different sub-genre of the wide wide world of rock & roll. Each party was presented as an imaginary compilation, the "tracklisting" of which, was the lineup of the night. Generally this was Ri & I, plus 3 of our favorite DJs. Over the course of each night, 7 and a half hours of dancing were divided up by that month's "High Five".

On Saturday the 17th we'll be hosting "Jukebox - The Best of High Five Records!" a wrap-up event to celebrate the end of the series! Sonically, the night will span the full extent of all the genre's explored over all 12 installments of the series, from swing to surf, proto-punk to post-punk, 50ies soul to 80ies new wave to 90ies indie. The real surprise is, breaking away from our formula of 5 DJs in 7 and a half hours, we won't have a "High Five" , but rather a "High Fifteen"!!! Yes, we are being as ambitious and crazy that we think we can squeeze 15 DJs into 1 lineup and what's more we think it's gonna work out pretty damn well!

If you're wondering about the maths, we have 7 and a half hours from 8:30PM - 4AM, a total of 450 minutes. Divided by our 15 DJs, it leaves each DJ with a power set of 30 minutes each. Whether they try fit 20 doo wop hits into that time, or would rather just play two epic disco jams for the whole set, that's totally up to them. Seeing what people do with a micro set like this and the madness of giving the dancefloor a new selector every 30 minutes, we think this is gonna make for one of the most fun, crazy nights-out that Joburg has seen in ages!

Jo Fo Euro. Day 14 Rosenheim

We wake up and discover the view of Prague from our balcony.

And then discover a weird little statue on a weird little shelf in the corner of the room.

Then Nestor makes some magic happen getting our van out of the little street we're stuck in.

We head back into Germany, and arrive in Rosenheim. Lex needs strings, so half our party heads off to find a music shop, while Jun and I sit our asses down to drink some locally brewed weissbier and eat some currywurst.

We meet up with the rest of the gang and hang in a pretty park for a bit.

Then make our way back to the venue and along the way discover a local brewery making people drink something called "Hell".

Back at the venue we soundcheck, get fed great lasagna and meet some swell new friends.

Young Legionaire do their thing and it's pretty damn great.

We do our thing which is fun even though we can't really hear what's happening onstage and the people of Rosenheim stand and watch us all silent and motionless. Honestly, after the amazingness that was Prague last night anything would seem a little anti-climactic I suppose.

After the show we stick around for a few drinks and then we walk to the hotel we'll be staying in. Once we get there we discover that we can get onto the roof of the hotel through the window in our room, so some major hooliganism follows, running around on the roof in the light rain.
