Those Border Community get-togethers have been coming thick and fast of late, and you know there is nothing we like more than collecting up our nearest, dearest, latest and greatest all in one place for a night of goodwill-to-all-men happy clappy hedonism. The latest outlet has been provided by Hamburg’s Popmondial promoters, who have secured the services of recent Luke Abbott rearranger Gold Panda to top off a decidedly Border Community-themed line-up that includes master of shamanic ceremonies James Holden, electronic buffalo Luke Abbott (whose Brazil just hit the mp3 stands, with the vinyl soon to follow) and the equal parts haunting and haunted Kate Wax (whose Dust Collision is now all around us on vinyl, CD and mp3), with the eager and most able support of young, British and electronic Seams thrown in for good measure:

Indeed, so bursting with goodness is this line-up that it has now spilled over into a second club floor, the neighbouring Neidklub, where the early doors live shows of Seams and Kate Wax will be running from 11pm, with the Panda taking over on the main Baalsaal dancefloor from 1pm. Entrance to both zones is of course included in your original Play.Me ticket price in true Reeperbahn crawl-friendly fashion (and if you haven’t got your ticket yet, then you had better snap one up here pronto). And the full programme runs something like this:

Floor 1 (Baalsaal):
22:00 We Are Alaska
23:00 Krger
00:00 Dependance
01:00 Gold Panda
02:00 Luke Abbott
03:00 James Holden

Floor 2 (Neidklub):
23:00 Seams
00:00 Kate Wax

Music-for-dancing-to doesn’t come much better than this little lot. And rumour has it that a certain Mr Nathan Fake has already been booked in for Popmondial’s next Play.Me club session – those lucky Hamburgers…
