New Feature: Music genres for your event

Let's say your out of your hometown, you want to go out but you never heard of the dj's before and do not know what kind of music they play. How do you decide where to go? 

At least for Frankfurt/Germany. We want to solve this problem with the latest feature addition to wasgehtheuteab.de, the little, clutter free eventcalender.

We added the posibility to attach music genres to your event. When you upload a flyer you'll see the new field music and the suggestions that we already have in the system.

You can either click the genres below the text field and we will fill it out for you automaticaly or in case where we are missing the music you want to play, you can simply enter your genre seperated by a comma and we will add it to our system. Easy as one, two, three!

We added the genres in two places while you browse for flyers. 

The first is in the lower left corner when you go with your mouse over a flyer to instantly see more details about the event. This way you can make your choice without clicking a link or open a new page.

The other place is inside an individual flyer right below the date and before the location address. Maybe you clicked a link on another page and got transferred here, you'll see right away if the music is yours or not.

Seeing the genres that are played at the location right away, will help you make an even better choice for your valuable time out in town and leaves more time to just have fun at the party!

Remixing this years Lichter Filmtage movie selection

The primary goal of wasgehtheuteab.de is to show content in a simple way, without anything like login, signup or bad navigation between you and a good night out in town. So far we concentrated on partys, concerts and clubs. But we felt that the design is universally useful and could be applied to other activities as well.

A few weeks ago we began talks with the team that runs the Lichter Filmtage, an international film festival with a focus on Frankfurt and the surrounding area. Most creators from the movies are either from Frankfurt or somehow connected with the city. This year is the 3rd anniversary of the festival and it started to get a lot of attention lately.

After a few back and forth on what we could do with the existing content, we came up with the idea of a minisite. A page dedicated to the Lichter program but run inside the wasgehtheuteab.de context, with the same accessible design like the rest of our page.

It is all about reducing steps and let me say, we absolutely love the result.

Here you find before and after to compare for yourself.

If you are in Frankfurt/Germany from the 18.3.2010 - 21.3.2010 you should stop by and watch a movie from this years beautiful selection and if you are involved with something that you want to show on wasgehtheuteab.de, contact us and lets talk about it.
