Adam Freeland :: Late Night Deepness (Podcast)

Adam Freeland

Leaning Into The Ring Of Fire


Since he released his renowned debut mix CD, Coastal Breaks, in 1996, Adam Freeland has represented change, innovation and irreverence in electronic music, always refusing to be pinned down to genres. Since the release of second artist album Cope™ in 2009, he is back in the studio producing new music for his own label Marine Parade.

This new mix shows a change of style for Freeland, with an eclectic selection of sounds that represent the kind of music this club dominating DJ plays when he’s off the clock and looking for something deeper.

DiskJokke – En Fin Tid (Review)

DiskJokke

En Fin Tid

Released by Smalltown Supersound


Diskjokke (aka Joachim Dyrdahl) is together with friends Prins Thomas, Todd Terje and Lindstrøm all part of Oslo’s pulsating disco scene. He’s a classically trained violinist and classical music has always been an important part of his life. Joachim studied mathematics for eight years, and holds a master degree. The new record, whose title translates to "a happy time," symbols an important turning point in his life: becoming a father and deciding to do music full time, while setting aside his career in mathematics. His first break came with ...

Lindstrøm & Christabelle interview & download (MP3)

Hans-Peter Lindstrøm and Christabelle Silje Isabelle Birgitta Sandoo is the duo behind one of the most praised releases so far this year, and are currently all over your TV screen in the latest Cadillac commercial. Real Life Is No Cool has been getting top grades all over the line, and the pleasantly organic dance-pop album is also a flight from Lindstrøm’s trademark productions. I had a little chat with the music maestro and his beautiful and mystic chanteuse.

URB: You’ve collaborated since 2003, right? How did you decide to make a whole album together?
Lindstrøm & Christabelle: I guess we decided to make an album after getting pretty good feedback from the 2 singles we did on Feedelity. And we both knew that the half-finished recordings that we´d been …

Prins Thomas – Prins Thomas (Review)

Prins Thomas

Prins Thomas

Released by Full Pupp


Norwegian remix king (or Prince), Prins Thomas, releases his first full-length solo album on his own record label. And it’s not all balearic disco, as many expect. Norwegian royals Lindstrøm and Todd Terje lend him a helping hand, and together they create wet bearded dreams of sonic landscape and echoing sunsets. The whole affair is proggy; while Thomas' inspirations are clear, the record is more post-rock than cosmic disco.

Lindstrøm & Christabelle – Real Life Is No Cool (Review)

Lindstrøm & Christabelle

Real Life Is No Cool

Released by Smalltown Supersound / Feedelity


The Norwegian maestro of disco, Hans-Peter Lindstrøm, teams up again with Christabelle (also known as Solale), and together they craft a masterful 10-song pop album. They have worked together since 2001, and begun working on the album before 2008’s epic Where You Go I Go To. Even though Lindstrøm is famous for his retro futuristic space disco, it never sounds like he’s working within a format. Real Life Is No Cool lacks the long masturbatory jams, and is tighter and more formal than his last few releases. The album is filled with new-wave pop melodies and piano house keys. It's sharp and chunky with heavy stomping basslines and wobbly arpeggiated synths. Wrapped in a warm and organic analog production, it's as dreamy as its title suggests.
