Nordic stuff rules!

1. The Sugarcubes, are planning a reunion performance in Reykjavík, Iceland on November 17, 2006! The concert celebrates the 20th anniversary of Bad Taste Records (Smekkleysa), the Icelandic record label created by members of the band. All of the original band members will be playing, including international superstar, Björk!

2. Nordic Lounge Weekend album was realeased, this extraordinary compilation extracts the most relaxing grooves from the Nordic region, after compilations like Nordic Lounge 1 and 2, both of them masterpieces. Trust me, this one is not an exception, get them all.

3. Recently I discovered Plej’s myspace page, he is a brilliant musician and producer from Sweden, in fact some of his tunes are in Nordic Lounge 1 and 2. His debut album “Electronic Music from the Swedish Leftcoast” is, in my opinion, a jewel of electronic music because he fusioned some of the finest house with jazzy atmospheres, this mix sounds truly elegant… anyway his myspace page annouced the release of the new album, certainly I’m longing to get it on my hands.

4. Hanne Hukkelgerg has also made her second album in Propeller studio. It is named “Rykestrasse 68” after her half year living in Berlin. The album is truly amazing. A more orchestral and cinematic sound unfolds new sides of Hanne’s beautiful voice. All songs are written by Hanne except the dark version of Pixies “Break My Body” featuring Daniel Warg Sanden on nyckel-harp. Rykestrasse 68 is out in Norway and itunes store only!
