Superbacon at Social Club in Paris
After a awesome friday party in Munich at Bob Beaman with the Compost and Kongress crew, I followed up with another great night in Paris with Barfod and Tale of Us. Thanks to Social Club & Michi for hosting us and to all the people who danced along.
Music for National Gallery of Denmark
Yesterday I played a short Dj set in the mighty halls of The National Gallery of Denmark, presenting a new composition that I made: An audio interpretation of a painting from the current exhibition of Danish painters from 1750-1900. The idea is that you go see the exhibition and at the entrance you borrow an Ipod, so you can listen to the music while looking at the paintings. A number of Danish musicians and producers have been asked to each interpret a painting from the exhibition - including Trentemøller, Darkness Falls, Turboweekend - and yours truly. I chose the painting "Sunset. Fountainebleau" by Valdemar Schønheyder Møller (1900) and did a 8 minute instrumental repetitive voyage of arpeggios and strings - inspired by such composers as Moroder and Vangelis.

Icon night in Copenhagen
Since getting my hands on the first 12" releases from DFA way back (after a coincidental visit to the Plantain building where DFA and Plant Music shared offices), I have pretty much been following every release from my favorite NYC based label and producer. Once I heard James Murphy play a Dj set at Tribeca Grand Hotel (he played Daft Punk btw) - I think this was in 2002... so almost 10 years later I am happy to announce that I will finally be playing at the same house as Mr. Murphy. Old friend and former Vega Club honcho Jonas Hz has invited Murphy, myself, Tomas Barfod, Muzzle Flash and Jean Von Baden to play at the preparty opening of a new and much anticipated nightclub spot in Copenhagens (details on link below for details). Doesnt get much better than that, does it ?
