This track was born out of a few days of crate digging, looking through old records and finding samples I recorded waay back. After gestating a bit, enough people told me I had to just put it out already.
Playing at Seeds in Oslo this weekend, together with Olle Abstract, Ost&Kjex, Melkeveien, Kohib, and De Fantastiske To amongst others.
Gonna be great!
New episode! This time with me and Pernille on the chit-chat, and Atella on the mixtape makin’. Been looking forward to upgrading the production value a little, now with a proper intro with an actual conversation, instead of just me ranting.
Have a listen!
After a few months locked in the studio, I’m about to have things to show you. This weekend seems to be the start for some of it. Hopefully I’ll be able to give you some proper soundcloud links and whatnot in not tooooo long. It’s always the last 10% that takes 90% of the time, you know.
Come friday, I’ll be premiering my new live set in Oslo, doing a couple known tracks but mostly brand new stuff that haven’t been released into the wild before. Some piano jams from that great standing piano in our apartment, some bass grooves that hits right in the 40Hz.
And right after that, on saturday, I’ll do one of the closing sets for the last day of Ekko. I’ll probably take some elements from the live gig with me, at least doing some live drum programming. Hope to see you at any of the things, if you’re in any of the towns!
We just whipped up another episode of the podcast, with a mixtape from our Nabovarsel alibi in Oslo, Bonjour Tristesse!
In other news, I somehow got through my talk at Bergen Design Story, a part of the Raff week of design. I tried to say some smart stuff about working in the overlapping space between design and art, and the pitfalls in working with those two things at once. Think it went all right. Here’s me, not being nervous at aaaaaall:
My brother Ola has been working on his Magnum Opus for over two years now, the graphic novel Haugson. And I’m telling you because it’s all finished now, and available in shops and stuff! He just came back from a small book tour in Stockholm & Oslo comics expo, getting rave reviews (or so I hear). More photos and things at his facebook page, too.
And don’t worry about language barriers, cause there ain’t no text in there, bruv. The entire story is told via, um, images.
You can buy it at various book shops in Norway, and of course right here in our webshop. If you’re lucky you won’t get one of the copies he took a bath in.
I was just in Oslo, playing a live/DJ-set hybrid thing in the back yard venue first, then a sweaty bouncy sexy set inside later that night. Three main ponts to take away:
1. Dattera til Hagen is… Amazing. about 1200 half-drunk, smiling, dancing people will leave that impression.
2. I need new luggage. The airport security is killing me every time. Or just take the train.
3. I could tour the world with this setup. Laptop with traktor & Maschine (synched), X1, Maschine Mikro and an LPK25, using the house mixer. Easy to set up, built like a tank.
