The show in Mar­seille yes­ter­day was a hit! Good things!

We were greeted with rain and hail, but the weather got bet­ter when we arrived at the hotel. Me and Embee had a look around town, our first time in Marseille.

De La Soul was rock­ing, but we had to leave straight to the hotel after our set. Two hours of sleep and then we flew back to Swe­den. Phuu..

We’re doing more shows in France next week! We’ll update Tour­dates tomorrow..

Yes, we’re going to Mar­seille tomor­row to rock at the Marsa­tac Festival!

Peace! / ´preme

 Finally, we can announce the three win­ners of the LOOPTROOP ROCKERS “Naïve” Remix con­test! The Jury (Loop­troop Rock­ers, STHLM Beat Con­nec­tion and Bad Taste Records) have decided that the three win­ners are: Sil­viu Padu­raru, Leon­tin and Undoo! Con­grats! You guys got mail! And also big up to all the 32 par­tic­i­pants of the remix con­test! It was hard com­pe­ti­tion, lots of good remixes and good cre­ative ideas! keep it up!

Now check out the three win­ning remixes at SBC! Enjoy!

Me and Schumi found our­selves in a pretty strange sit­u­a­tion the other day. We just got back home from Örebro. Dumped the back­line, parked the car and went straight to the Malmö Opera. My girl­friend is in an opera (not singing though..) called “Death And The Maiden” by Ariel Dorf­man (check out the movie with the same name by Roman Polan­ski) and it was the world pre­miere so we had to support!

The thing is, this is a very polit­i­cal opera about the hor­rors of Chile under the dic­ta­tor­ship of Augusto Pinochet and it was also the day of the big parade at The Euro­pean Social Forum. My girl had been in the parade with her mom all day, and we got the chance to see the parade from the bal­cony of the opera. Sur­rounded by a lot of peo­ple who were very famil­iar with opera but maybe not with protest songs, we heard a lot of great/scary com­ments as the streets were filled up with police. We felt a lit­tle out of place to say the least.

I think the peo­ple at Malmö Opera should have invited the ESF par­tic­i­pants to come see the show. It was very pow­er­ful and totally rel­e­vant, espe­cially this week in Malmö. Nice to meet our friend Amer­ica Vera-Zavala at the opera! She held a sem­i­nar at the ESF ear­lier that day.

Peace! / ´preme

Thanks to every­body who came out to see the show in Örebro!  A very good crowd!

Our friends Pan­cho, Ols­son, Chrille & my brother helped us with the mer­chan­dise. So every­thing was back to nor­mal. Chaos.

Embee felt like busy­ness was kind of slow, so he mod­elled some girlies. Any­thing to sup­port the crew.

Embee even bought him a rose yes­ter­day after the show. He deserves it.

Thank you Barcelona! We hope to be back soon.

(Big up to Freeze from Moves Per Minute who was judg­ing the break battle!)

I came to Barcelona yes­ter­day to see my friends Nenne and Oliver. Today we’re doing a show at Hip­notik.

I just got this from Lazy & crew at Looptrooprockers.pl, the Pol­ish ver­sion of our site. Peo­ple of Poland — check it out!
