FESTIVALS AND MUSIC ON MY MIND

Sorry the lack of posts lately. I’ve been busy attending Hovefestivalen and Oslo Live Festival here in Norway and enjoying great music.

This entry will never end if I’m suppose to tell you about all my latest concert experiences. Instead I’ll share with you a couple of songs from my favorite concerts.

Familjen was one of the best concerts at Hove this year in my opinion. Dizzie Rascal had to cancel their concert at Oslo Live, instead Adam Tensta stepped in. Not a bad replacement.

I was working at the bar when Goldfrapp performed at Hove. I did get to hear A&E live though, and it sounded epic. Here’s one of the best remixes. And a bonus one from Hercules & Love Affair because they put on a great show at Hove.

Surkin was too cute on the mix table and made my first night at Hove. You’ve probably already heard ’Next Of Kin’ and ’White Knight’. If you like them, then you’ll definately like the remix of the first and the sequel of the latter.

Justice pulled an audience of almost 10 000 people at the first day of Oslo Live. MSTRKRFT played a great set at Hove. Steve Aoki never came to Norway as planned, but here’s the whole package.

Sebastien Tellier is probably the coolest frenchie in the whole wide world. His show at Oslo Live was hilarous. He mostly performed the songs about his sexuality and his "fat and ugly mother", as he nicely put it. I personally prefer this remix of the Eurovision hit.

The Norwegian Datarock boys ended my festival summer for now. Datarock is highly recommended live. I missed Skatebård during Hove and a club night during Oslo Live. Too bad, because he’s good italo-disco shit.

Happy summer!
