Nominated for Danish DeeJay Awards 2008

Hello again

Just a short blog to let you know that I am one out of five nominees, in the category "Danish Urban Deejay Of The Year" at Danish DeeJay Awards 2008 (ddja.dk). A Simpsons quote comes to mind: "Someone somewhere thinks I am better than somebody else!"

As I am informed; I have been nominated by a couple hundred different danish dj's, who nominate in about twenty categories. Check out all of the nominees here. I am not really sure on how the voting process goes down, but the winners will be publicly announced at a big awardsshow 23rd of March @ Tapperihallerne near Tuborg Harbour.

So... what happened in 2007?

What a year! You might have noticed, that I have been working even harder expanding my dj-business this year. It has resulted in 100 dj-gigs in Denmark & Sweden, plus 3 mixtape-releases throughout 2007, but this will only be the beginning... I have been collaborating with crews like MidWeekBrakes, Polka! & GAM3 Streetbasket, and was headhunted to play large venues like Rust & Vega Nightclub, as well as a couple of crazy weddings :)
I do also have some great news for 2008, which will be revealed within a month from now.


I am still not into doing annual lists of everything, but I would like to sum up some of the stuff, that for me stands as extrordinary during this year:

(-) The dubstep movement actually caught me in 2006, but since then this bass-style has grown BIG and continues to occupy my attention even more. I just did a count; in one year I have bought more than 150 dubstep records! I am still pretty excited on this style of music, and if it hasn't infected you yet, I will advise you to check out the strictly dubstep mixtape, I'll be putting out in the spring of 2008.

(-) Copenhagen based soundsystem/eventcrew OHOI!, established their dubstep label "Kraken Recordings", which delivered three well-anticipated and critically acclaimed 12" featuring prime tracks from the danish part of the scene. I expect more rock-solid releases from this quality imprint, including a special remix of a local dancehall legend, who some of you might know about... :)

(-) Their debut album has been delayed a couple of times already, and is now more anticipated than ever: the Boom Clap Bachelors are finally released their album on danish chill-out label Music For Dreams. I have been repping different versions of this album since the summer of 2006, but I have just received the finished promo copy, and expect it to blow up very soon.

(-) Some of the best parties in 2007 where thrown by the infamous Polka! crew. They resided all over Copenhagen, and held quality events featuring some of the local dj-stars; playing funk, soul & worldly electronics. This fall they booked me to spin fresh balkan at Polka! part 5, alongside Soulsystemet & Alberta In Love @ Global near Saint Hans Square in center of multiethnic Nørrebro quarter.

(-) This electronic balkan scene I have been exploring in depth during the year, is an excuisite form of party music. Unknown to the massive, but will anyway make your feet move, due to the incredibly catchy melodies. For me; there is also something very special about the harmonies, which tells a lot of balkan history.


Welcome 2008, hope to see you there.

Summer’s ending...

Well, the summer in Copenhagen was apparently over before it even got started. Although I managed to host a Crash-party and a roof-party, in collaboration with some hard working people, during the short periods of dry weather. And big-ups to the GAM3-team who had me spinning hiphop at the Copenhagen Central Square, at this seasons last event; the GAM3 Finals.

I was also given the oppurtunity of performing alongside an incredible line-up at the Unfair Fashion party, and close down the last regular wednesday-MWB at Vega this summer. I am still rolling with MidWeekBrakes, and I can inform you that there is a MWB Special coming up. So I would advise you to put a mark on 3rd of November, which among other things, will be the release party for my recently finished project, the "7 Sessions Mixtape". The cover is now ready, and the cd-copies will be distributed before you know it.

A call I received in the late summer days, offered me a job as a part-time teacher on the dj-course for the regional youth school, the project is called NuArt. Building on my earlier experience as lecturer and instructor, I turned the challenge on. So from the next month on and half a year forward, I am going to educate teenagers on the basics of dj'ing and sounddesign. What a great oppurtunity to pass on my self-taught abilities to some inner city kids. :)

I expanded my balkan soundexperience further, by going record digging in Romania. This trip was great relaxation, but indeed also enlightning on the social and cultural situation in the balkans. Apart from the radio, I had a hard time finding fresh music and record stores. As a local dj put it for me: "There is no record shops here in Bucharest, down here we STEAL our music from the internet!". I proved him wrong, and brought home a bunch of old, but nearly mint vinyls, which are currently in my dj-bag.
So if you wanna shake your legs to some eastern influenced tunes, catch me at RUC Årsfest this friday, or the Egmont dorm this saturday.

B-ball, fire and other stuff

Damn. I just discovered that the mwb venue, Rust caught on fire last night. They are forced to close down Rust tonight, but I hope they manage to find another venue to hold this nights party... (update: they did, it's going down @ Culture Box tonight) It's unfortunate since almost every wednesday down there is a smash. Just last week I played a slamming set with my dj-partner in crime; Miksmads. We started out after Oxy Cottontails liveshow, and kept the club open for almost an hour later than the usual closing time, due to the still large crowd at 5 o'clock.

Last week I went on tour in Denmark with the GAM3 Crew, read the blog at streetgam3.dk. It was a week full of street related events; especially b-ball, b-boy'ing & dj'ing. GAM3 had gathered an incredible team for this task. In collaboration with the streetdancers from Flow Dance Academy & the b-boys from 2TheBeat, me and Agent Collect became a tag-team of great dimensions, just check here:


:-)

On the advertise tip; remember the Gongong movement and join the party, this friday the 22nd @ Zum Biergarten, just next to Palads cinema in Copenhagen.

Lookin' good

edit: Another 'Damn!': It is unfortunately confirmed, that danish female reggae-talent, Natasja, was involved in a tragic car accident, which took the life from her. She was a great inspiration for a lot of people. My condolences to her family and friends.

Things are rolling... Fast, I'm telling ya!

As I mentioned in a comment to my last blog, I am now also a resident dj at MidWeekBrakes @ Rust on a monthly basis. I played there yesterday, and people were really getting down to a lot of the scandinavian hiphop I'd brought.

Last weekend I went to Göteborg to play a couple of gigs and to buy this mixer. I arrived friday by train and got picked up by my man Martin (Big ups for a lovely weekend!), who drove me to his place. We played the first set at the Club Lounge(s) that night, which really just was a system check and warm-up for the next :)
Because after a great saturday of sunshine, icecream & frisbee'ing, we went downtown to prepare our performance. Seldom seen; the club was already packed by 500+ people at midnight! Together we played a blockrocking blend of partyhiphop, reggae, mash-ups & balkan beat, and I must say everything worked out really well that night. Beautiful, friendly people in a classy club, who loves the music you spin for them. Does it get any better?

Well apparently it does, I just got a call this morning offering me a clothing deal, here in the immediate future. I've turned the deal on, and will make it official as soon as everything is sorted out.

Signed & secured

What I'm going for this spring

If you have been watching my bulletins, you might have noticed that I am spending even more time rocking dancefloors around Copenhagen. I'm currently holding residencies at Café Bopa and Bullit Club. Besides that I'm getting regular gigs at Rust and Saxons, as well as occasional jobs at various study- and dormparties. This weekend I had my wedding-dj debut, where I played a pile of jazzy tunes flavoured with a lot of classics, for a young and openminded crowd. It was actually quite fun, I hope to get an oppurtunity like that again... Next month I'm going out of town to Göteborg and Roskilde (check the calendar on my profile), for two exciting events, which themes will be revealed when time comes.

As far as keeping up the spirit for spinning records, one need to discover new (as in old) incredible music and unearth more fresh records, to spin for the crowd. The last couple of months I have been overwhealmed by genres as balkan beat & afro-funk, which of course have influenced my liveshows, and will continue to set its mark on my future projects. And I experience that my enthusiasm for this type of music, affects and inspire the people present when I perform live.

Since x-mas I have brought you a couple of mixtapes, you can find the last one here. I have assigned the next weeks to finish up my current project; the "7 Sessions Mixtape", which of course will follow up on the "6 Sessions Mixtape" that was released fall 2006. Hope to see your support when it drops :)

If you have been in Copenhagen, you might have realized that summer is about to come. Together with some interesting people, I am planning on throwing a couple of parties when the holiday kicks in. So if you're interested in getting me to play abroad, please approach well enough time before.

Best regards, enjoy life

So what happened in 2006?

For me, apart from discovering a lot of incredible music, I got to play around 60 liveshows in Copenhagen, did my first dj-gigs abroad and managed to release 5 mixtapes. I hope that you catched some of this througout the year, but if you didn't, you can still find the mixtapes through my profile.I have connected to some cool people in the past year, and I am planning some projects, both live- & recording sessions, with them in the immediate future. Also I opened up this myspace site, which have created acquintancies, and given me some opportunities I wouldn't have imagined.


I am not really into doing yearlists, but I will briefly sum up some of the events, that for me was outstanding and positive, during this year:

(-) As the world unfortuntely lost J Dilla in an early age, I am more than satisfied to see that his sound has becomed an established part of this decade, with more followers than ever. And as a large part of both the mainstream and underground hip-hop/rap scene has been going in circles, I'm happy to see that this oblique sound is evolving like never before, even after its primary innovator has passed away.

(-) When talking of oblique sounds, 2006 became another year where G.A.M.M.'s releases ruled the dancefloor. They released a whole lot of quality b-boy floorfillers and strictly mash-ups, so if it comes to innovative scandinavian labels, you can't put them out of the way. Also Freddie Cruger aka Red Astaire released a handful of highly anticipated vinyl-only releases, and his debut album.

(-) Some of the local guys I see turning up those same sounds, is of course Boom Clap Bachelors. They have been working all year purposive on finishing their album. I've heard it, and I must say this is one of the most promising danish albums I hope to see released in 2007. And as if this wasn't enough; one of the members, Robin Hannibal, did another project called 'Owusu & Hannibal', which for me was one of the best releases this year.

(-) We all saw and heard Gnarls Barkley & Timberlake/Timbaland's well produced pop songs hit the charts hard, which I see as a healthy sign in a saturated music industry. Because I characterize the music they released in 2006, as very playful and experimental. I remember the spring time, when the single "Crazy" only was available on promos, and whenever I played it, people will come asking what the name of that track was, and if I would please play it again :)

(-) In my hometown Copenhagen, Firehouse/Maffi Boys held the dancehall scene down strong. They sat their mark on Copenhagen, with a wide load of bomboclaat digital tracks from the 80'es. And apart from their mixtapes, they started to produce and release tracks with danish lyrics. I'm glad that someone keep up the legacy from Bikstok/59P. Big ups.

(-) Another local crew that opened my eyes to a new sound, was the boys from OHOI!. I am glad that I finally discovered the bassheavy dubstep scene, which I find to have some unique ideas on how to sound today. Both their musicproduction and eventmaking has been off the hook! I have heard that they have plenty more deep stuff to contribute with in the following year.


That was some of the events that cought my attention in 2006. I have created a tight strategy for releasing new mixtapes in 2007, and you can of course catch the info here on my page. I have also added a calendar so you now know where to find me behind the boards, spinning my records.

Welcome 2007, hope to see you there.

Well, it IS x-mas soon...

...so I have updated my profile with some beats and a track, all recorded 2002-03. I'm currently finishing up on "The Tracks I Grew Up On" - disc 3 & 4, which probably will end up as my ultimate present to you this year.

And if I don't get around to play your particular christmas party this year; you can find me christmas eve @ Café Bopa spinning records after midnight.

Until next time, keep rockin'

Since the releaseparty

Hey there

It has been some busy weekends lately. The releaseparty at Rust was a great succes, thanks a lot to everybody for showing up. And large ups to Boom Clap Bachelors for playing a tight set that night, look out for their album coming out soon, it's HOT!
Since then I have been playing a lot of gigs, and have now realized that playing 4 nights in a row is great fun, but also very exhausting... :) After the releaseparty I was primarily spinning my records in the vicinity of Copenhagen, but also went to Jylland last week to play; cool to experience that people in Horsens is rockin' to the beats I bring.

I have been receiving much attention for my last effort, the "6 Sessions Mixtape". Thanks a lot for the appreciation, it's great to have the opportunity to give people something to enjoy, especially when the record industry acts like it does. Right about now I'm halfway into "The Tracks I Grew Up On" - disc 3 & 4, which I plan to release around christmas. I also got some other projects up my sleeve, which I will be reveal'ing when the time is right.

Next month is probably looking forward to a lot of x-mas parties, maybe next time at YOUR spot? Well, take care and let's see what comes along.

Best regards,

More beats & mixes online

Wow, it has been rough week in my neighborhood!
Thursday, a man got shot in the street, something that very rarely happens in Denmark. I accidently walked by 30 seconds later, and saw him lying in a pool of blood. Fortunately the medics arrived quickly, and he survived.And this saturday night my street got closed down once again, this time due to a young group causing riots, throwing cobblestones and lighting fires.Well, I wasn't directly involved in any of these incidents, but I was a pretty close observer. It seems to me that Copenhagen is turning quicker to violence these last months. What do you think?

Allright, but what I really wanted to tell you, is that I have thrown a couple of new mixes, a couple of old tracks and a remix online. Check 'em out at my profile. And if you can keep a secret, I can inform you that my next mixtape is done, now I just have to do some post-production and get it pressed up. Look for it, it's going to bump the party!

Yeah, what a nice summer!

Well.. I'm home again from the tour in Croatia, and what a place! Beautiful spot for the beach-bar, nice people and a saturday night crowd there was up for a hella lot of fun...! It was a pleasure to spin my records down Bura Beach.

I have been hosting a handful of free-entry underground parties, in collaboration with some different people around Copenhagen this summer. If you were at any of events (and remember the vibe), feel free to leave a comment on the blog.

(-) Starting out with the block party the 24/6, at Noerrebro with a huge fire on the parking lot. 200 people around the fire until sunrise... Dj's including Nelson (Ikscheltaschel), Mikael Palner (Auditory Designs) and Pierre & Dj Reveal.

(-) Then I hosted this years Roof-party the 15/7, at 8th floor of my dorm, RHK, absolutely incredible... We had more than 300 people on the roof during peak hours! Performance from J-Ro of Tha Alkaholiks and dj's including Lo-Fi (BoomClap Bachelors), Nelson (Ikscheltaschel), and Pierre & Dj Reveal.

(-) We practiced the first Crash-event at Islands Brygge behind Silo 52 the 21/7 this summer. It was a huge success and held 150 people chilling, grilling and bathing in the sun. Per and me held the dj'ing down strong :-)

(-) Last night the 4/8, we carried out the second Crash-event at a new location, where Christianshavns Kanal meets Strandgade, just down the harbor. It was a nice party that unfortunately got closed the 3rd time the police showed up... But it was very nice to play next to the canal. Big ups to SiQ & Casper for helping out with everything practical.

Hope you had a nice summer too?

Best regards,
R*

Mixtape review and download...

I was so lucky to get a review published at hiphop.dk, and my recent released mixtape "The Tracks I Grew Up On" got 4/5

Peep the review in danish here.
And get the mixtape here.

And if you are going to visit Croatia this summer, you can find me at Bura Beach (near Pula, check burabeach.com) the 28. & 29. of july.

Woow... 4 jobs in a weekend is hard work!

That was one hard-working weekend for me. But I love it.

I did get the oppurtunity to spin my records for a lot of lovely people all over Copenhagen. I did get a lot of love from the guests who showed up at the venues. Most memorable must be two foreign students at this school-job, who manage to create two posters, size A4, saying "we love the dj's", and went on sporting them on their shirts the rest of the night. A lot of love back to you from here.

I love playing my records for a crowd there's up to some fun.

I've gone back into producing... The result is online!

Hello there. I feel good today. Maybe it's due to I just finished a school assignment yesterday, or maybe it is because I recently felt the urge to sample this track and recreate it, just like in the old days... :-)Producing, something I've been wanted to start up again for some time. But when time came, I didn't really feel that inspired. But today I felt inspired, I just HAD to make this track, I couldn't let it go at all. So if you go back to my profile, you can listen to the track in its present entirety, Revealomaniac - Deadly Sunset. Enjoy!
