Hejven.se

Last night we had a blast at the Copenhagen Jazzhouse!
Jean von Baden invited us to a great setup with live performances by weird drummer/performer Kalles World Tour and the ultra cool Danish band WhoMadeWho.

After the warmup by Kalle and his crazy stage show WhoMadeWho gave a terrific performance playing great tracks and a few covers, Satisfaction by Benny Benassi among others. Their energy was fantastic and the stage performance was great! A big up to Jean von Baden for bringing the trio to Jazzhouse!

We shot a few pictures at the party.

It’s Friday again and this week we are back to normal. No fancy celebs picking the tracks it’s just us, your favorite blog and we bring you the best to get the weekend started!

Starting with a Danish indie rock duo, The Raveonettes. The duo consists of Sharin Foo and Sune Rose Wagner where the latter released a brilliant 2008 self-entitled album. As a duo they released their 4th studio album in 2009, In and Out of Control. The first single “Last Dance” has been remixed by New York-based kap10kurt.

If you digg tracks with kiddie voices you’re gonna love this next one. Ricardo Villalobos is a Chilean-German DJ and producer doing mostly minimal house. The track is simply called “Enfants” (french for kids) and was originally over 17 minutes long. It has been called “a great tool for DJ’s” and “remarkably catchy”. Danish Michael JT did a great remix and cut the track down to a little less than 12 and a half minute.

We Have Band is a Brit indie pop band famous for the single “Oh!”. Co-Pilot did a funky Flying High Edit of “Honeytrap”. The track is filled with breaking beats and is great dance floor material!

Another British band, Editors, is about to start their March 2010 UK Tour. From their latest album In This Light and On This Evening we find the single “Papillion” (again french – butterfly). It reached #1 on the Belgium chart (what gives). The Japanese Popstars who I know from their awesome remix of The Ting Thins’ “Be The One” (go see Friday Bangers (week 20 – 2009)) did a spectacular remix pumping up the bass and making the track a true banger!

The Asteroids Galaxy Tour brings us the last way-too-short track this Friday. With the depressing title “The Sun Ain’t Shining No More” and with help from German Thomas Gold they give us the most intense nearly three minute party with bits of soul, funk and electronic dance.

Keep an eye on the blog the next few days as we bring you the latest from Miike Snow including a brand new single!
Oh yeah – come join us at Copenhagen Jazzhouse tonight! WhoMadeWho and others are playing! We’ll be doing a bit of a coverage of tonight’s events!

Have a nice weekend and enjoy the music.

Sorry guys, but this one is mainly Danish. Try google translate

Sousa/Schmidt is a Danish DJ-duo and you can usually find them on Rust at Thursdays when Rust goes bad and turns into the Villains Club (who just celebrated its 1 year anniversary hooray!). But they play gigs at many clubs around Copenhagen.
A few weeks ago we asked them what tracks they are playing and this is what they sent us.

Carlos Sanchez & DJ Ray – Like
Et virkeligt stemningsfyldt og velkomponeret nummer fra de to spanske øboere.
Yderst dansabel deep-house, som i øjeblikket kravler de fleste toneangivende charts.

Boris Werner – Free Your Body
I øjeblikket en af genrens store fornyere. Med friske takes på housemusik og hitskæringer kraftigt influeret af disco og swing er Boris Werner en mand man skal holde øje med i fremtiden. Tjek evt. også Can’t Let Go.

Guti – Mr. Good Vibes
Endnu et bevis på de latinamerikanske traditioners indtog i housemusik.
Et virkeligt groovy nummer med alt hvad der hører med, af rullende bas, latinpercussion og i det hele taget et meget organisk lydbillede.

Gabriele Baldi – She Comes Back (Anton Pieete Groove Remix)
En spritny udgivelse fra det ligeledes nye label Bitten, skabt af Sandy Huner og 2000 And One. De har kun udgivet ganske få ep’er, men det lader til at være et label man skal holde øje med.
Gabriele Baldis originalversion af nummeret er egentlig lidt kedeligt, men den gode Hr. Pieete har hevet nogle fantastiske fede ol school lyde frem og har, som titlen antyder, groovet nummeret betydeligt op.

Yakine – Drop It
En dissideret banger fra Frankrigs unge stjerneskud Yakine. Han har på kun et år kravlet ned i pladetaskerne hos de største DJs verden over, og er, sammen med Okain, blevet kaldt en af de vigtigste blandt den nye generation af franske house producere.

Being a mandatory part of the Copenhagen nightlife, an acclaimed author, and founder of Club JET, Mads Holger is a force to be reckoned with.

Hejven.se is therefore proud to present his top 3 most memorable clubbing experiences during his travels across the world!
-
Club JET video – Mads Holger video by Morten Vammen

1: At the very top of today or rather tonight’s nightlife scene I highly recommend Sky Bar in Beirut, just as I recommend the city in general. The decadent and bohemian atmosphere of the 60s and 70s has returned with a vengeance after so many years of civil war and Syrian occupation.

At the top of a five star hotel we find this wonderful venue awarded the worlds best nightclub by an almost mutual press last year.

2: In second place old loyalty and nostalgia compels me to suggest good old Cave de Rois in Saint Tropez. Even though the city has lowered its standards within the last decade, the Cave de Rois at the Byblos estate remains one of the world’s most mythical nightclubs.

I was once there with David Bowie I think.

3. Peppermint in Dubai, Moct in Moscow, Annabel’s in London and a couple of other nightclubs came to mind when deciding witch club to award the bronze.

However I chose to recommend a rather unconventional club for this place and hold my hometown of Copenhagen’s most prestigious spot to be third. I therefore feel to have no other choice than to suggest Andy’s Bar in Gothersgade Copenhagen. The infamous Bar now going on its 6. decade.

A while ago when Le Gammeltoft did our Friday Bangers we promised to keep an eye on the not-yet-released Spleen United track.
Then I went to Thailand but now I’m back to find the track has been released and therefor I wanted to share it with you guys.

Spleen United is a Danish rock/electro/synth band. From the 2008 album “Neanderthal” we can find “Suburbia”. Not too long ago The Juan MacLean did a remix which have now been released.
