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.

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

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.
