Hi guys! Good summer? Good. Me too. I just came back from a DJ-gig at Hjertøya festival, and a live show at Blå celebrating the vinyl release of my EP Assemble. Look for it in your local vinyl shop, or even better; get it straight from the source right here!
We tried to take some fun photos on the tour, so here goes. Peace emoji.
Ooh, this is exciting.
Admir, my main man from Maksimal records, just stopped by with five test pressings of Assemble. It’s been out on streaming services for a little while now, but of course, vinyl is its own beast.
In related news, the record is also out on BandCamp today, if you like to a) download the tracks for real, if you wanna DJ with them for example, and/or b) support the people who made it directly, without Spotify getting all up in our business on the way.
But of course, vinyl is king, yeah yeah.
And yes, Dune (the book in the photo) is doing very good, well, Duke Leto Atreides is doing real bad (no spoilers) but we’ll best these Harkonnen bastards yet.
We finally have some really great tees in the shop! These are the closest we get to a DJ uniform I guess, as seen on the torso of… all the cool kids.
The tees are American Apparel, so top quality and more importantly made somewhat sustainably with workers getting paid real money. And for new listeners: Nabovarsel is the label/media empire we base the music around in this place, “Nabo” simply means neighbour.
Holy macaroni. It’s out. Albeit with the wrong freaking name on Spotify and all that (come on, Admir), but the music is what counts, I hope.
Just made some nice little thank you notes for the holiday orders shipping from this little shop I have going here.
If you have been looking at something, there’s still time to get it before Christmas/Yuletide/Festivus! Our elves are ready to ship stuff out (that would be me).
The time is finally here. The time when at last, I get some damn company at our podcast, or as we can now proclaim, we are making the move from just a programme to a damn radio station.
The nabovarsel podcast network™ now has three regularly occurring programmes in the main feed:
—My regular ol’ music programme where I show you some cool music—except now I pick some cool tracks individually and talk about them, in addition to commissioning mixtapes from our awesome network of superstar Djs like we always have.
—Emilio’s interview programme where he talks to important and/or interesting people in culture generally and music specifically, and
—Mario & Kinolars’ programme (plus Emilio as moderator/babysitter/) where they count down to the new Star Wars film by going through JJ Abrams’ filmography one project at the time, making fun of everything in the process.
Did I mention we beat “Ingefær podcast” in the iTunes ranking?
Take me to the podcast already
