But it’s also about the music. So here’s a few track I’ve been listening to the past week or so. I hope they will rock you weekend!

We’ll start out with something heavy! Wolfgang Gartner‘s 2010 track “Illmerica” have been hanging in my ears all week. I love the build-up and the distorted sound.

Taking it all the way down to John Paul Young‘s “Love is in the Air”. It was one of Kjeld Tolstrup‘s favorite tracks and a damn good one.

Sometimes I’m a sucker for MTV pop and this is a clear proof. I found this little remix of Britney‘s “Hold It Against Me”. It’s a guy called Schim from US. He also remixed Kylie Minogue’s “All The Lovers” brilliantly.

Another MTV-ish group is British synthpop duo Hurts. From their 2010 album we find tracks like “Stay” (the remix by Grove Armada is amazing!) and this track “Sunday”. Remixed by Seamus Haji who is mostly producing but have remixed artists like Craig David, Mika and Moby.

Last but not least I’d like to present a track from the Sound of Copenhagen vol. 6. It’s a track by Yoav and it’s called “We are all dancing”. Remixed by Le Gammeltoft and Street Mechanics (Who is Thomas Madvig and Massimo).

See you tonight at 12 at NASA.

Okaaaaay! So it’s been a slow summer on the blog with too little music a too many beers in the sun (or rather rain because it’s Denmark)..
But that has come to an end now! We are back on track with new music and much more.

The danish DJs, radio hosts and Hejven.se darlings Kjeld Tolstrup and Le Gammeltoft released their FIFTH compilation in the Sound of Copenhagen series a week ago (12th august).

We’ve already presented you to some of the music on the new CD, Hankat‘s “Be the First” (here).
But somehow we feel that you should get another tasty bite of this delicious release.

With a whole of seven debuting artists on the tracklist this is truly the upcoming and soon-to-be’s of the Danish nightlife.

A personal favorite is the Kasper Winding remix of long-haired french indie disco guru Sébastien Tellier’s “Elle”. Even though it’s a slow track it has a charm and a melody that Kasper preserves while he still adds his personal touch to it.
