Af Alexander Julin Mortensen Natal Zaks er en umådeligt produktiv elektronisk musiker, der efterhånden ikke længere kræver den store introduktion.

Artwork af Tobias Holmbeck, musik sammensat af Alexander Julin Mortensen På mange måder synes mit musikalske år at dele adskillige ligheder med de foregående. På international og nationalt plan har adskillig artister været med til at udforske og udfordre vores forståelse af og forventninger til forskellig afgreninger af elektronisk musik. Overordnet kan det ikke siges at være unikt for 2018, men de har til gengæld de respektive udgivelser, deres udtryk og idéer. Eksempler herpå ...

Copenhagen-based musician, producer and sculpturist Chris Shields, also performing under the monikers Ro, Marcel Du Swamp and in the duo Vid Edda, grew up split between Baltimore and relatives on the European continent, mostly in the Alps.

Interview af Alexander Julin, foto af Neal Mcqueen Rasmus Juncker begyndte at producere musik tilbage i folkeskolen, men det blev først på den anden side af flere års musikstudier, at trangen til selv at producere for alvor vendte tilbage. Med udgangspunkt i bl.a. klassisk minimalisme og filosoffen Deleuzes læsning af Immanuel Kant forsøgte Juncker at skabe sit eget personlige udtryk, der ikke blot var sammenfaldende med hans musikalske inspirationskilder. Inspirationen forblev dog ikke udelukkende på ...

Interview by Alexander Julin Australian Xavier Bacash made his debut last year with an EP called “C.E” on the Danish label Koldt Bord. “C.E” was an enormously organic release which differed from the majority of contemporary electronic music in Denmark due to its incorporation of jazz-elements.
