At Strøm, Friday marks the end of all the meta-musical events and the beginning of the festival’s cornerstone concerts at Enghaveparken. For the always compelling price of nothing, Copenhagen’s music enthusiasts are invited to join the fun with acts like Jatoma, Egyptrixx, Space Dimension Controller, and Pional playing sets in the evening hours. For an [...]

Strøm 2011: The Electronic Family Tree

It didn’t strike me until I was on my way home just how ungrateful a feat compiling the history of electronic music to a 90-minute lecture is. Where to start? What to include? What to leave out? In hindsight and from the safety of the crowd, it is always easier to be wisecracking, but just [...]

Strøm 2011: Trans Metro Express

There’s a bunch of us waiting at Nørreport, cans in hands, mumbling passionately with a slight sense of secrecy. On a normal Tuesday, you might think this would be because FCK are playing the Champions League qualifiers (and will subsequently get their behinds handed to them), but that is not why. As the next Metro [...]

’They have free Red Bull!’ were the first words my friend said, when we met up at Culture Box yesterday. And sure enough, there was plenty of free caffeine for everybody once inside. While a solid energy boost should never be neglected, I was more interested in RBMA’s general involvement with the event. As far [...]

The following is my guide to all the wonderful events taking place during the Strøm 2011. I’ll be writing about various happenings on here as well as on the official Strøm blog, so expect a lot of crossposting (and great music!). Morten from Regnsky will cover the other half of the festival on that blog, [...]

Sunday night is an ungrateful time for partying. Well, Sundays are not problematic per se. But with three days of festival action already in your body, getting back in the game is challenging. I imagine that something along those lines ran through the heads of the majority of the crowd yesterday at Trailerpark; a crowd [...]

Trailerpark Festival 2011: Friday

It is a truth universally acknowledged that attending a concert with fewer than 50 other people in the audience is the epitome of hipster fandom. Jokes aside, the fairly hipster Trailerpark crowd did not exactly crowd the tents for the early evening shows yesterday on the second day of the festival. The schedule provided plenty [...]

Things were buzzing around Vesterbro yesterday. After months of planning, teasing and preparing, the Artrebels crew was finally ready to open the gates and kick off Trailerpark Festival 2011. Attending Trailerpark is not just like attending any other festival. Sure, festivals across the globe do what they can to combine music, art, and installations to [...]

It’s that time again. This weekend, Copenhagen will once again be hosting one of the finer music festivals around when the art and music extravaganza that is Trailerpark Festival takes over Vesterbro. Last year, the lineup was solid but seemed to lack that extra oomph that made you rush out to get that ticket. This [...]

Roskilde 2011 Recap

So, how was it? With all the disclaimers from my guide in mind, you might already have guessed that Roskilde didn’t exactly blow me away in terms of music. Their decision to (practically) ban all major electronic music camps in the camping area – camps, mind you, who cared enough about Roskilde to invest thousands [...]
