The Sound Of Roskilde 2010

I forbindelse med Roskilde Festival har Hejven.se entreret med privatpersonerne Kristian Rudbeck og Bjørn Holmgren om at bygge en musikvogn bl.a. til brug på Festivalen.

Alle der har været på Roskilde kender konceptet omkring en musikvogn. Et par af de helt store vogne tilhører Promilleservice og scenen fra Orange Camp. En musikvogn er med til at skabe en fantastisk stemning på selve campingområdet og musikken pumper ofte løs til den lyse morgen, og denne vogn er ingen undtagelse.
Selve vognen indeholder 4 bass-, 4 mellemtone- og 4 diskantelementer, derudover er der 2 eksterne højtalere til ekstra diskant og mellemtone. Dette trækkes alt sammen af normale bilforstærkere, da disse nemt tilsluttes 12V batterier, som sidder i biler, lastbiler, etc.

Resultatet bliver et mobilt anlæg der kan spille flere timer, ved fuld lydstyrke, uden at være tilsluttet strømnettet.

Bjørn og Kristian startede i 2008 med at lave et lille musikanlæg til Roskilde Festival. I 2009 blev det så en smule større og havde stor succes på festivalen og andre arrangementer, blandt andet en streetbasket turnering.
I år er der blevet lagt væsentligt mere tid og flere penge i projektet end de foregående år. “Vi ville bygge noget, som virkelig kunne sparke røv” forklarer Bjørn. “Vi gør det heller ikke kun for festernes skyld, men også fordi vi synes, at det er sjovt at gå og rode med” tilføjer Kristian. “Vi har altid, siden vi var små, haft det sjovt med at bygge alt muligt i Allans (red. Kristians far) værksted” smiler Bjørn.

De er som sagt privatpersoner og midlerne rækker derfor ikke meget længere. Det er nemlig en dyr affære at bygge sådan en stor vogn. Mange penge er blevet brugt på højttalerenheder, kabler, lys og byggematerialer. Derfor er begge drenge interesseret i at ‘udleje’ plads på vognen til logoer fra fx firmaer, caféer osv. ”Vognen er jo stor, så vi kunne sagtens have reklamer på den” siger De. På den måde vil sponsorerne få reklame for deres udstyr og de vil få midler til at gøre festen større.

Det er dog ikke kun højttalerenheder og kabler der skal bruges i arbejdet med vognen. Vognen får strøm fra lastbilbatterier og kan holde i et vidst antal timer, før de skal lades op igen. Dette er ikke den mest praktiske og ’grønne’ løsning. Derfor drømmer de om at tilføje solpaneler og/eller mini-vindmøller direkte på vognen. ”Det er dyrt at købe solceller eller vindmøller og vi har desværre ikke kunnet få nogen til at sponsorere” siger Kristian.

Musikvognen spiller dog videre, selvom den er afhængig af opladning en gang imellem. ”Vi må prøve igen næste år. Lige nu glæder vi os bare til at komme på Roskilde og feste” siger de to drenge.

Friday Roskilde Bangers (week 25)

Friday Roskilde Bangers (week 25)

Okay, so the Roskilde Festival is getting closer and by now you should have equipped yourself with a waterproof tent, a camping chair, sleeping bag and a whole lotta beer!

Hejven will be reporting almost daily from the festival with pictures, events and other goodies! So keep an eye out for the blog to get you daily Roskilde update.

One of the big names this year is definitely Gorillaz. The cartoon band released their 3rd studio album this year after a five year musical drought. The “Stylo” music video featuring Bruce Willis became a hit at the start of 2010. Alex Metric did this super funky remix.

Australian Pendulum is a drum-and-bass band. They are playing it hard style, but if you can take it you should drop by when they play at Roskilde. I’ve found a Van She Tech remix of “Propane Nightmares” for consideration.

Miike Snow is one of my all time favorites. Recently the released a new single called “Billie Holiday” and LightsoverLA did a decent yet moody remix.

The Floor Is Made Of Lava is a Danish rock band with a great sound. This year the released a new album “Howl At The Moon”. Their last album, “All Juice, No Fruit”, got remixed big time and “IKEA Did A Job On You” is from that remix-album.

LCD Soundsystem is signed with DFA and that alone is a signal of great quality. They produce great dance-punk in that DFA-ish way. This Holy Ghost! remix found it’s way to my hear a long time ago.

Body Talk Pt. 1

Share By Foss

Robyn - Body Talk Pt. 1Yesterday the Swedish queen of electro pop, Robyn, released her fifth studio album. The album is called “Body Talk Pt. 1″ and you might already heard Robyns lovely voice in the radio or on the net.
This first album is one of three mini-albums in the “Body Talk”-series Robyn is to release in 2010.

The first official single from the album, “Dancing On My Own” was released on June the 1st and it seems like it’s going to be one of the big tunes this summer. But you might have stumbled upon “Fembot” or “Dancehall Queen” as these have been released to digital outlets and have won massive attention through airplay.

“Dancing On My Own” has already been remixed by Fred Falke and Jakwob (with a nice dubstep-ish feel!) among others.

Robyn worked together with Diplo on the track “Dancehall Queen” which was leaked as “No Hassle”.

The beautiful blonde Swedish girl also worked with Röyksopp on the more moody and dark track “None of Dem”.

After around half an hour of sweet electro pop with Robyns characteristic voice and “feel” you get somewhat surprised by the two last tracks, “Hang With Me” and “Jag Vet En Dejlig Rosa”. The first of them is an acoustic track and far from the party and electro sounds that the rest of the album has to offer. And “Jag Vet En Dejlig Rosa” is Robyns take on a traditional Swedish melody also far from the electro sounds.

All in all the album is definitely worth your sweet little savings! Go buy it here.
And remember that you can experience Robyn live at Roskilde on the Arena stage saturday the 3rd July at midnight!
