…Hello  Who is things how is life? it’s midummer over here (in Stockholm, Sweden) Nice,nice….wish I had time to go to Sonar (a huge festival in Spain) this year. I’m a little slow today and it feels totally right to spend the day doing stuff that I’ve been saying for aaaaaaages that I should do (talking about chilled-out stuff E g Kev Brown has this beat commentary-thing going on that he posts on his blog. He walks through how he made a certain beat, his thoughts andsometime he drifts away into some other stuff . I can’t remember if I heard this one already that I’m linking to right here, but let’s Sunday-chill toghter on this one ‘Commentary VOL II’

Right now I’m in Stockholm streaming Billy Ocean over spotify and enjoying the pleasant feeling that it’s toooooo much rain outside…I simply just don’t have to feel guilty about staying in .

…and somehow when it’s like this, even thou I’m a futuristic-beat-lover, I just feel like going commercial-retro. I used to work in a clothing store …this cheesy print-it yourself company…like a AA but for ; Scandinavia women-  plus 50- that liked viscose ANYWAY me and the girls that used to work there either played latin-style music on the floor (because that would somehow up sales…I guess the women got dreamy and started to reminisce to their Spanish vacations) Or we played this cd with Chaka Kahn …and I remember how much I ADORED ‘I love you, I live you‘. I would always make me so happy, the dull felt totally ok…it is without a doubt approved also as a feelgood song for rain Sundays like this…

… ok if I can come with one feelgood recommendation for today that is of the new kind. I would say go for Lucinda Slim & The lonestars;

…. ‘All this time’

loove,hugs and kisses

It has been a few weeks, but I finally met Kissey Asplund (a rhythm lab favorite) all the way from Malmo, Sweden. Her show at the Funky Buddha Lounge was amazing. She is a great live performer.  I see big things for her in the future.  Because of this, I have a hate love relationship with Myspace.  If it wasn’t for Myspace, I would have never had opportunity to hear her music and play it on our show. In the same way, Kissey met most of her producers through Myspace as well. It is an amazing tool. On the other hand, there is so much crap on their as well (bad design, spam, etc.).

The conversation we had was amazing. We talked about music, producers, her travels in the state, and her home country of Sweden.  It is really true, the world is getting smaller.

Anyway it is nice to see her live and the fact that she is putting music out now on various labels makes me so happy. Speaking of which, her song “Atomic Light & Sound”  produced by Rustie. is on a compilation on Mahasa Music. You can actually grab the track for free.

Rhythm Lab favorite and blog contributor Kissey Asplund is performing in Chicago at the Buddha Lounge on May 8th. She is bringing her futuristic soul to the midwest, and you do not want to miss this. Don’t forget to check out her new album on R2 records called Plethora. The peeps over at Okayplayer are even digging on her. Also check out her cool blog.
