Homework is a Dutch duo always in progress. Their Fissa Tune EP released on German Exploited Records a month ago has got remarkable reviews by producers such as Brodinski, A-trak and Round Table Knights. The title track Fissa Tune feels like their signature song but I prefer I Got Two, which is a real floor filler disco track. I’d like to hear much more of this duo. Läs mer »

Simian Mobile Disco has moved towards a more experimental techno sound with their new project Delicacies. Not only is it brilliant music, the names of the track are equally great. After Aspic and Nerve Salad it’s time for Thousand Year Egg and Casu Marzu. You should definitely try the music, I don’t know about the food. Läs mer »

His name makes some people annoyed because he’s not making bit music anymore and his soon (on August 17th) to be released track Yard Birds is a real tech house floor filler. We just had to ask Boy 8-Bit about his musical progress, why he doesn’t produce church music instead and of course what makes him dance. Läs mer »

I really like Robyn’s concept of the Body Part albums, cause now I am able to avoid the binge listening that often comes when an artist finally releases new material. Now it’s possible to live with Robyn’s production as a everyday part of my life. Like the seasons and the weather shift I get a new original track, remix, video or live experience every now and then.

It was a while since blogged something non-festival related. It was also a while since we blogged something from Grum. So let’s do both at the same time. New stuff is coming from Grum and the sound and magic we learnt to love is still there. Läs mer »

About a week ago Simian Mobile Disco stood on the Apollo stage at Arvika pleasing the audience with some of the best electronic dance music on the border between electro and techno. The duo hadn’t time to sit down with us for an interview so we did it digitally instead. We’re focusing on live shows, new projects and food obessions. Läs mer »

After an exploding first day at Arvika the second day was calmer when it came to great electronic dance music. But there were some of course. Here’s live photos from Le Corps Mince De Francoise and Familjen. Läs mer »

The Apollo tent stage was filled to the brim and then some more when Robyn got up on stage in an overturial version of Fembot. Her performance at Arvikafestivalen was a one of a life time experience. Läs mer »

At 1am Canadian electrofunk duo Chromeo went on stage at Apollo for an exclusive live set. The tent stage was about half full at the start of the show but it sure was a dedicated audience. And Chromeo didn’t let any of them down. From the first to the last song they delivered hit after hit in a way few artist can. Läs mer »

I was really looking forward to Kenton Slash Demon after listening to Sun and quickly running through a couple of their other tracks on YouTube. Sun is amazing, I’ll say that much. As they kick it off the second Wareika gets off the stage, at first I’m not aware they’ve already begun – just that I like what’s started to play. What I don’t like is that there’s way more bass than anyone could need. I don’t know if they’ve requested it or if it’s the sound guy who screwed up. Other than that though, this is quickly looking good. Läs mer »

I didn’t catch Harald Björk, so I don’t know anything about how that show went. But when Holy Ghost! aren’t done with their sound check at the time of their scheduled start I’m sensing the delay problem is with Orion, not with the artists. And when the turnout is looking similar to Jinder’s, I’m starting to feel like the place is cursed. Läs mer »

The first one to enter the Orion stage is Jinder, daughter of riksspeleman Åsa Jinder. I’d never really listened to any of the artists to be reviewed before, but at least I’d quickly played Jinder’s single ”Youth Blood” as well as an earlier song a couple of hours earlier to my instant liking.

At eight o’ clock sharp Four Tet went on stage. A strong introduction with Angel Echoes. A smooth voice singing There’s Love In You. It’s electric, yet very authentic – like a wide landscape. Wich strengthens by the evening sun that shines through the tree tops and makes the outdoor theatre stage bathe in golden light. Four Tet is magic. He creates music that, even though it is so smooth and chill, everyone just has to dance. Läs mer »
