I’m writing this on the bus to the airport right now, I’ll be spending the next week becoming ghetto famous or whatever in the techno capital of the world, or possibly just hanging out with my guys Tobias, Eirik & Henning.
Before flying off I wanted to show you a short video from last saturday at Klubb Klubb, it just finished uploading before I left the house. Hope you are all moving butts this summer!

We just got back from Bygdalarm; a music festival deep in the fjords of Norway right on the precipice where the mountain meets the sea. I played a three-hour set on Friday, but stayed the duration of the festival due to peer pressure from weather, friends and booze. No photos or anything from the set though, partly because the mood was hard to really… document, but honestly I don’t want to worry about the moral ramifications of publishing photos of a naked throng of people drank dancing to a Ciara acapella.
An enormous amount of big ups goes to the festival people like Kjersti and Marieke (as well as all the others obviously) that made the trip beyond amazing. And if any of you are reading this, feel free to use the photos for your own bragging rights as well! If you’re just some random guy on the internet, not so much.
Hope ya’lls is having a brilly brill summer too.

Yesterday was technically the first of the month, yes. But the new Nabovarsel podcast episode had paramount priority, so in stead you get the Spotify playlist of the HOTTEST TRAX from camp Lysgaard one day late. Are we cool? OK, good.
Here we go.
There’s a new episode of the Nabovarsel podcast out! With my own self on the chit chats as usual, and music selection by Tobii this time. Check it out!
So here’s a thing! I’ve done stints at making DJ charts previously but that’s boring and no one reads them. Proper playlists are way more fun! So in trying to reinvent the format a little bit, I’ll try to include songs that are good for just listening, not just club bangers (although there’s a few of those as well).
I’ll try to make more of these, so make sure to subscribe to my Spotify thing if you want to be in the loop. And of course you can subscribe to the playlist on your own spotify, so you can listen to whenever you damn well please.
Without much further ado then, here are the tracks you’re just gonna have to listen to this June:
Last night me and Øde Øyvind joined Jam City and Vilde Tuv in making butts move at Østre. We have been fans of Jam city for some time (Øde in particular) so getting to share the room with him was a treat. And Vilde, I mean, really. Either you get it or you don’t, we think we do. There’s no one else like her. She’s the best.
Øde’s brought a bunch of Grime and UK Bass, and I have been digging up nasty saturated kick drums and M1 basslines for a couple months now. It was a blast to play them to a kind of room it was meant to be played in!
I was looking forward to this gig greatly despite being pretty small, so I made sure to record the set! GoPro + the Zoom recorder from Nabovarsel HQ. the only thing missing is the sound of the guy creaming, “OH FUCK” when the bass dropped on Roff.
This weekend was a perfect storm of caffeine, sun and music here in Bergen. With such ideal conditions, a spark of an idea quickly turns to flame, and so this pretty fancy mixtape with waaay to much production quality came to life.

Pieces from this wonderful winter-turning-into-spring we are having. Shot with my A6000 50mm 1.4 and iPhone.
The rainbow creates a strange bevel over the city, you can even see a hint of a double one!
Tame Ongan is my newest track right now, available as a free download from SoundCloud. On valentines day, as it happens. <3 <3 <3
If you DJ it somewhere, tell me how it worked!
Hope you had a great holiday season folks. We had a few precious days of snow, and I took along my camera for a morning walk from my apartment at Bryggen to my mother’s house in Nordnes one morning, starting with my front door.
If I catch you using these without permission, I’ll put rocks in the snowballs when I come visit. <3 <3 <3
