Kasper Bjørke In Gumbo Plant Music 2007

繼Trentemøller之後，又一來自丹麥的DJ與電音製作人Kasper Bjørke，近期發表了他個人首張單飛專輯「In Gumbo」。這位曾經在哥本哈根傳奇舞場俱樂部VEGA打碟的超級DJ，其實行程非常忙碌；截自目前為止，他已經造訪過北京、柏林、巴塞隆納以及雷克雅維克等城市，同時也是各大夜店與音樂節爭相邀請的對象之一。在他的全新專輯裡頭，可以聽見前冰島電音天團Gus Gus成員Blake、冰島電音組合FM Belfast、前80年代傳奇龐克樂隊Liquid Liquid鼓手Dennis Young以及The Pierces成員等人的共襄盛舉，激盪出一張充滿龐克音樂氣味的電子音樂唱片。首支單曲Back & Spine濃濃的Disco-Punk，並不時出現狂爆的噪音吉他聲浪，足以挑戰DFA與LCD Soundsystem；歌曲並獲得Trentemøller與Tomboy的Remix相助。這個月Kasper Bjørke也將出席冰島年度最大音樂盛事Iceland Airwaves Festival；官網這裡 試聽這裡 下載這裡

Danish DJ and producer Kasper Bjørke is a man with a mission. To make beautiful music that comes from the dancefloor but is also great to listen to in your living room or riding your bicycle. Titled ‘In Gumbo' to demonstrate the versatility of sound and the mix of people involved, the album is destined to become and electronic classic.

Kasper is also one half of Copenhagen's Filur (V2 Scandinavia) with partner Tomas Barfod (Tomboy/Who Made Who) but this is his first solo album. Borrowing from synth fuelled club music, New York Punk Funk and intelligent pop music he has crafted a subtle, outstanding album. Vocals come courtesy of Icelanders FM Belfast and Blake (Gus Gus) as well as New York angelic sisters The Pierces (Lizard King). Kasper also enrolled the services of Liquid Liquid's Dennis Young whose classic percussion brings a great live feel to ‘Liquid Propagnosia'. The first single ‘Back & Spine' gets a great acid remix by Tomboy and Trentemøller is remixing the second single ‘Humming Song'. The music Kasper has created with ‘In Gumbo' proves he is a phenomenal producer and when you hear him DJ you realize why he is a household name in Denmark: he rocks the dancefloor, currently holding down a residency at the legendary club VEGA in Copenhagen while still travelling around the world to DJ at clubs and festivals, most recently in Beijing, Berlin, Barcelona and Reykjavik, where he is also booked for the renowned Iceland Airwaves Festival 2007 in October.
