picked up a few new records when i was in Stockholm this weekend (short comments because i haven't had the time to listen to them much yet):
Airgoose - Programmable Rhythmer - Different Drummer - 12"
i've been looking for this for like 3 years now and at last this record has landed in my record collection. sounds a bit like Sie, except maybe more abstract. the reason why i decided to look for this 12" was the B1 track 'That Was No Martian'. it's sooo gooood!
Aprilheights - We Haven't Got A Clue - Audio Pollution - 2x12"
surprised to find this in the old electronica-bin, especially since i didn't even knew it even existed, at least it shouldn't since it's a promo of an album which was never released (APLP 02). it has a dark sound which could be described as putting Tupilaq, Plastikman's "Musik", AFX's finest moments and some of Speedy J's "Public Energy #1" in the blender. very, very good!
Arovane - s/t - Din - 12"
Arovane - Icol Diston - Din - 12"
best god damn IDM i've purchased in a long time! beautiful crunchy tracks with lovely melodies and there are 0 fillers - this is all good stuff! get these!
Metamatics - Dayglo Tinsel - District Six - 12"
the above comments works fine for this one too, i think.
Tupilaq - Volver EP - Dot - 12"
a Krister Linder release on Dot which i never could get my hands on when it first came out since the local recordstore only held one copy in stock. remixes from Kid Loops and Floppy Sounds or something like that. the record only says DOT 1201 TEST PRESSING, so what do i know. i heard the Floppy remix would be all beautiful and shit but this record has the crummy d'n'b remix on B1 and a 4/4 remix on B2. maybe this test pressing has another remix?

the Stockholm event Induktor which was held at Växtverket, Brommaplan was pretty fun, atleast for me who did a fun performance of new material say 40 minutes of tricky, abstract and sometimes melodic IDM and 40 minutes of chaotic noises and microphone yadda yadda. later on me, M (Marcus Wrangö) and InSine (Thomas Andersén) did an improvised layered noise-performance using some of my dark noisy ambient from my Phthalo demo in the background and mixing it with everything from Dr Broxburn to the sounds of the Stockholm subway and some sampler scraps and pad percussion. it was a blast!
DJ Solidst8 started the main floor moving with his US stuff incl various breaks, electro, and chicago house records. a lot of fun for the 2 hours it lasted, and i danced through the entire set. very different from what is usually played (p*trance and hard-as-nails techno) at swedish raves and clubs. Hardcell and Pratap put on their usual hard techno records and i guess the crowd dug it but i don't know because i was upstairs in the chill out area playing records and noises all night. mr Lekebusch called in sick the night before the organisers had to find another dj, and since neither Mull or Dahlbaeck could be contacted they called DJ Ego, who played the hardest set i've heard from him ever!
only 200 people arrived so the organisers were really slapped in the face economically. fucken Lekebusch to cancel on them like that. :(
but i had a lot of fun anyway.
