Me and Defense Mechanism have made a split tape for No Sides Records. Mister Mechanism does his Gameboy wizardry and I’m on an electro-ish spree.
RELEASES
Commodore Grooves anniversary edition
My debut album Commodore Grooves is now 18 years old! To celebrate, Data Airlines has made a limited edition anniversary cassette. There are still a few CDs available if you’re after a more modern format. ^__^
Goto-80 and his Jazzband
What happens if you and your “band” use Jamtaba to invite randonymous musicians to jam on top of your own jam? This!
It’s another hit on Mutantswing!
Machines Don’t Cry
Machines don’t cry is my new pop single on Mutantswing with remixes by Whale opportunity, Decorate the sky and me (bonus internet2008 treat). BLDZR made the cover art and it’s a wink to Ekta‘s cover for Made on Internet.
And most importantly – the video! BLDZR made it and I helped with some ASCII-stuff. The good looking computer is the ABC80 (which might be where the 80 in Goto80 comes from?) and I made some of the ASCII with the ABC80-font, supplied by Shadow.
Oh, and since there is “nudity” in the video it is not liked by all platforms but let’s hope it gets to stay online.
Censored version:
Uncensored version at archive.org that doesn’t stream very well:
S H Y G G A
S H Y G G A follows G L O S O N and S T A L L O with more hazy, slow, eerie and dreamy music, mostly jammed out on Commodore 64. This time featuring collaborations with Dubmood and Störgler, as well as some help from the robot.
Hardcore Family
Time for my first album on Mutantswing, stuffed with party breakcore italo gabber chip funk pop acid rave! It might seem a bit random, considering all the ambient I’ve put out lately, but lots of this stuff is from the Drain Bamage days (coming back soon, hopefully!). Anyway, big thanks to The Toilet, Sandy, Glenn Hussein, Super-Notorious-Outrageous-Whiteboy, Jämbo and Company Fuck for helping out.
> Get it either on Mutantswing or on my Bandcamp
G L O S O N
G L O S O N is a 90-minute album that follows S T A L L O with hazy, slow, eerie and dreamy music, mostly jammed out on Commodore 64. It features collaborations with Sophomore and once again Akai Selzer. There is also more TR-808, Electribe ER-1 and Renoise in G L O S O N compared to S T A L L O. Yep. There will be at least one more tape in this series, so stay hungry for the friendly fluffy ear twisters!
S T A L L O
S T A L L O is a 110-minute album with hazy, slow, eerie and dreamy music, mostly jammed out on Commodore 64. You can see how that jamming happens in the video below for Bilin.
A few shout outs to the people involved: Akai Selzer who spent 2 days jamming with me in Frankfurt, Jacob Remin who helped the robot to do a new live version of Synkex, which opens S T A L L O (and was also used in Korridoren, made with Björn Bengtsson), Paul Cousins who did the remix of Stures Bröd, Bob Nimbe for the VR goat video and Dubmood who did the layout.
If you like this kind of stuff, there’s good news. This album is actually the first in a series that’s coming out on Data Airlines soon. They’ll all be in a somewhat similar vein. If you don’t want to miss out just subscribe to the RSS-feed of this blog. Lol, I know, only freax like me subscribe to RSS. Uh, so, either follow my newsletter or my Bandcamp account. Everything else is a scam.

808642 (On Tape)
A while back, on 808-day, I released 808642 and now the tape version is out! It includes a new song as well as remixes by Mesak, Dubmood and Abe Sangin. Just like 80864 it uses primarily TR-808 and Commodore 64, but also other things. A lot of the songs are based on jams, and the last song is actually a 15 minute jam that I didn’t have time to finish properly, but I included it anyway.
Pst – if you already bought the digital release and didn’t get an email with a discount code for the tape version, get in touch.
808642
808642 is my new release to celebrate 808-day (8/8) like a real drum machine freak. You get some electro, techno, some sort of pop, drum n’ bass and some slow beats.
