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.

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!
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!
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!
Here is a mixtape I just put out, just me, a bunch of buttons and dials and a microphone. This is a slow one, I’ve collected the most sludge moving, meditative and chill tracks from the last months.
This fall we (nabovarsel) will be playing at Den Elleville Festen and also curating some cool bands that will be playing with us that night. I’ll also play the Ekko festival and with BG Baarregaard in a few weeks, so plenty of music stuff happening. Check out the website if you wanna see the dates and come hang out and dance.
Enjoy the mix while there’s still some summer left!

Perhaps Norway’s most established DJ of all, Olle Abstract, has finally taken matters into his own hands (or spoon, as he elegantly put it), and started a new radio programme called “Utvalgt Lyd”.
His voice have been missing from Norwegian airwaves since he stopped his weekly address on radio P3 a few years back. But now! He returns!
And it must be mentioned, I am of course massively stoked that he saw fit to include my track Singsiri in his inaugural programme. So download! Subscribe! DJ! Do all the things! You can listen to it after the break. (more…)
