Yes, me and Supreme are back after two well deserved weeks of vacation in Thailand. All the vocals were already recorded when we left and now that we’re back Embee and Vladi (and Mats Nyman who did a quick guest appearance) are almost done with the mixing. Things are moving! Mastering is booked for next week and it looks like we might keep our life line! If we do, the plan is to release the album 3rd week in April. But we’ll drop a single with a hot ass video before that, and we’ll hit you with different goodies on the page till then. This, that i dug up from the archives, for example. A little something from when we warmed up before a show in Århus, DK late last year…
All of a sudden, i’m in Thailand with my family and friends, turning 30 years old on a rooftop bar overlooking the city of angels – Bangkok. It’s my first time in Thailand and everythings been real nice so far. Great food, great people.. i’ll update you more when i get back home to my computer. (i’m on a PC at an internet cafe at the moment.. bu hu.)
Right now we’re on the island of Koh Tao and last night we did a DJ set at club AC. Me and Promoe did a little screaming and Timbuk, Dainja and Irk was spinning records! My mom got a new job as head of security, she was really good! People don’t mess with mothers, even if they’re so drunk they can’t speak.. (the kids, not the momz. ha ha) i left at 4AM but i think Timbuk and the merciless DJ Irk stayed with my brother at the club until 6 something.. Thank you’s to everybody who made it a great night!
Now i’ll try too book our flights back to bangkok and go eat lunch with my girl.. see you all soon, i’m getting ready for a real hectic 2008!
peace!

It’s all mixed and mastered. Simon-san at Nimativ Form has done a fabulous video and we’re soon ready to go! You might be surprised…

Aspiring producer Buster Boss Jr swung by the studio today to peep the new video and dig the latest tunes. Most of his attention was directed towards the buttons for raising the monitors though.

Seven tracks almost done now. This time things are running pretty smooth. Guess we’ve grown some knowledge… I have an ambivalent relation to the mixing process. To let the babies go after, sometimes, years in the making can be a hassle. At first it always seems like it don’t turn out/sound as good as the original ruff mix. The same feeling as I got when building the song can be hard to capture.
I’m reminiscing about the spring/summer of 2002 when we did the “The Struggle Continues” mix. That was a total nightmare. My ambitions were raised to the limit and we had to build everything up from scratch based on the arrangements done in the MPC, SP and Motif. Then down to 2-inch reel-to-reel tape and mix from there on a Trident TSM (for you tech-freaks) desk in a completely overheated studio. And I’m not a schlook that’s known for using few and clean sounds when building my compositions, so we had a couple of frustrating months working it to some kind of perfection. The day when I’m pleased is the day I stop making music.
On Fort Europa I let two engineers mix the whole album while I approved mixes via mail. Neither a flawless way to work. “Can you raise Promoe’s “yeah” and fade it to the left at bar 17, beat 2 2 Db, please”.
Team-work on location seems to be the best way and now we’re working a future classic: Ginger and Lemon. My favorite track today! Peace
