A Clockwork of Orange.


Alex and his Droogs.


Kubricks film adaption of Anthony Brugess book might not be that far away. At least not when it comes to the electro scene.

When seeing many of the artists that make it big in the electro scene I can't help but to think of Alex and his droogs. People seem to have opened up their minds to a fashion that not long ago would have bin seen as strange.

Only the other day at Halloween I saw not one but two Alex. But that was not all. At least 20 or more were dressed in a way that easily could have been taken from one of the street gangs in A Clockwork Orange. Sure, at Halloween it's not strange to see a Alex but to see so many in a club that is not fully branded as a electro club. That means that this fair city must be overcrowded with people just waiting to put on the bowler hat. A bowler hat or sparkling military jacket.

The Droogs of Berlin do not look as hard as Alex's but thank to places like Bar 25 it is just a matter of time before you will see them on a weekend that is not carnival.

So, Stanley probably had it right. Soon we will be sitting in a bar like The Korova Milkbar getting really for a bit of the old ultra-violence.
