AUTECHRE live in Copenhagen!

Together with DR, CPH PIX and artFREQ Strøm are proud to present none less than british electronic pioneers AUTECHRE live in Copenhagen on April 2nd 2010!

It has been a long struggle to get this into place - but it is now a fact. The concert will take place at the foyer stage at the DR concerthall, Koncerthuset, a venue that was recently awarded with the Wallpaper Design Award for best public building, so prepare yourself for an extraordinary experience in all ways.

For those of you who might not know Autechre, I can toss the following facts;
Formed in 1987, the duo are one of the most prominent acts signed with Warp Records (one of my personal favorite labels, releasing among others Battles, Aphex Twin, !!!, Broadcast etc.); a label known for its pioneering electronic music and through which all Autechre albums have been released.
While most associated with IDM (aka intelligent dance music), Sean Booth and Rob Brown are ambivalent in relating their sound to established genres. Their music has exhibited a gradual shift in aesthetic throughout their career, from their earlier work with clear roots in techno, electro and hip hop to later albums that are often considered more experimental in nature, featuring complex patterns of rhythm and subdued melodies.

Their 10th album, "Oversteps" will be in stores March 2010.


As the icing on this magnificent cake, Autechre will be backed up by three dj's from Warp; Rob Hall, Russel Haswell and Didjitt.

It is the first time ever Autechre is playing live in Copenhagen, tickets are only dkr. 200 and you can get them at Billetnet - go go go!

STRØM - brought the beat back to Copenhagen - again

Almost being able to breathe properly again, to look out my eyes and getting my hearing back it is now time to make a low bow for all of you. You - the artists, the audience, the organizers, the venues, our sponsors, the happy faces and the dancing feet - made this year's edition of Strøm the far best ever. Thank you so much for that!
Thank you for coming, thank you for dancing, smiling, chilling, listening, for being curious and open minded, for bringing yur friends - and hopefully for coming back again next year.

I am uploading al photos at our Flickr-site, and if you have some nice photos you wish to share please email them to me.

Change of line up Sunday

The line up for Sunday's afterparty at Månefiskeren has changed a bit - or, it has expanded. Argentinian Douster has been added to the line up, and DJ Schack (DK) has unfortunately cancelled.

Douster is a French dj/producer who lives in Buenos Aires. Aged 14 he began producing his own music, which holds references to dancehall, house, electro, kudo, cumbia, reggaeton and fidget(!). Among his fans are dj's like Diplo and Sinden, so get your expectations up!

Douster (and Fauna, for that matter) is also a part of the Zizek-team who rocked festivals like Coachella and Roskilde, and tomorrow they will make your hangovers dissapear.

The complete line up for Sunday at Månefiskeren now looks like this;
14:00-17:00 Copia Doble Systema feat. MC NIKEE
17:00-19:00 Douster (ZZK Records Arg.)
19:00-20:00 Copyfokking feat Boody B
20:00-21:00 Fauna (ZZK Records Arg.)
21:00-22:00 Copia Doble Systema feat. Fauna MC's
