BRUS Lounges - Sigvard Dackevall - Closing set

Storken & JStaaf recently returned from their highly anticipated Mexico tour, showcasing their latest release "Tunghugg," which is now available on the renowned @RunningBack label. We had the pleasure of hosting these talented artists for our bi-weekly broadcast at Lykke Nytorget last Thursday, and the vibe was electric.

Let's begin by introducing @storkenmusic, a DJ/producer with a unique blend of influences. Born in '93, Storken grew up in a musical family in the Swedish countryside, where he was deeply inspired by 80’s icons like Phil Collins, Queen, and Tina Turner. Early exposure to music led him to explore various instruments such as drums, guitars, piano, and turntables, all while developing a passion for underground electronic genres. Storken masterfully combines the progressive elements of his Swedish heritage with an electronic disco style, resulting in a captivating musical fusion.

Storken's debut release, "Lille Vals," on the esteemed label Running Back, as well as his debut EP, "Skogsdisko," have received recognition from respected figures in the industry, including @Annie Mac, @Pete Tong, @Folamour, @The Blessed Madonna, @PurpleDisco Machine, @Patrick Topping, @Andhim, and @Krystal Klear. These endorsements are a testament to Storken's exceptional talent and his ability to create music that resonates with a wide audience.

Now, let's turn our attention to @J_staaf, a versatile artist known for crafting dynamic sets filled with playful grooves and always keeping some light present in his music. With releases on labels like @Days Like Nights/Armada, @Beatfreak Records, @Running Back, @NEIN, @Espacio Cielo, @Storkenland, and @Gods Groove, JStaaf has built a reputation for his vibrant and colorful tunes. While his musical style may vary, one thing remains consistent: JStaaf's compositions are infused with light and a commitment to delivering a good time.

For those of you who weren’t there, you can now take part of our evening with Storken & JStaaf, on linktr.ee/radio.brus.

@Elfenberg, the enigmatic Swedish artist, has transitioned from a shroud of mystery to a recognizable figure in the international music scene. Since his emergence as Elfenberg in 2017, his musical compositions have garnered significant recognition, propelling him to the top of music charts and securing his presence on prestigious festival lineups worldwide. Notably, Elfenberg has become an integral part of Oliver Koletzki's esteemed Stil Vor Talent family, having released his inaugural EP with them in early 2018.
Elfenberg's musical style defies easy categorization, as he eschews conventional genre labels in favour of a distinctive, rhythmic foundation crafted within a primal sonic landscape. His compositions embody a sense of perpetual motion, seamlessly evolving to reflect the creative vision that Viktor holds dear.

Emerging as one of Sweden's rising stars, Storken stands at the crossroads of Stockholm's vibrant urban pulse and the serene beauty of the Swedish countryside. Born in '93, he grew up in a family of musicians, immersed in the sounds of iconic 80s legends like Phil Collins, Queen, and Tina Turner. This musical upbringing ignited a fascination that drove him to master an array of instruments, from drums and guitars to piano and turntables. In tandem with his musical exploration, Storken delved into the realm of philosophy, creating a unique foundation for his artistic expression.

As he embarked on his musical voyage, the sonic tapestry of underground electronic genres lured him in, captivating his heart. Drawing from the rich tapestry of his upbringing, he ingeniously intertwines the deep-seated traditions of Sweden's hinterlands with the magnetic allure of electronic disco. This innovative blend reverberates through his debut release, "Lille Vals," on Gerd Janson's esteemed label, 'Running Back.' The launchpad for his artistic trajectory, this release resonated across the global dance music scene.

Storken's debut EP, 'Skogsdisko,' further crystallizes his distinctive style, channeling the spirit of the Swedish wilderness into an electronic disco soundscape. This evolution hasn't gone unnoticed, capturing the attention and support of esteemed figures like Annie Mac, Pete Tong, Folamour, The Blessed Madonna, Purple Disco Machine, Patrick Topping, Andhim, and Krystal Klear. These artists recognized his remarkable ability to weave a new narrative in the world of electronic music, where tradition meets innovation.

Storken's dynamic presence is equally felt in his performances, taking audiences on a journey that traverses the realms of nostalgia and futurism. From the sun-soaked shores of Brighton Beach to the neon-lit landscapes of Berlin's Kater Blau, his sets pulse with a diverse range of venues. His charisma is put on display whether he's orchestrating a b2b with Brynjolfur, setting dancefloors ablaze with Kornel Kovacs or Mall Grab, or captivating crowds in Mexico City, Monterrey, Lausanne, or Geneva.

With one foot in the heart of Stockholm and the other in the soul of the Swedish hills, Storken's artistic evolution continues to unfold as he forges a path that effortlessly bridges past and present, forging a new wave of disco on the global map. 

We were absolutely thrilled to have you with us for a second round… on Borderlands. Thank you Storken !

It feels gooood, to be back! And what an amazing start with no other than ABSTRAXION from Marseille, France cooking our little sweet spot LYKKE on Söder into a hotpot. Mixing that stretches genres, ages and intensities. A real deliverance. Rumours has it this might not be the last time we see him..

Harold Boué, aka Lion’s Drums and Abstraxion, is a French producer based in Marseille.
The desire to explore different musical territories to his Abstraxion alias led to Lion’s Drums’s birth.  As a tribute to his city, Marseille, Lion’s Drums creates music with its characteristics in mind: a bit rough though luminous and influenced by elements of the Mediterranean, African, and Northern European. This translates into heavily percussive sounds, italo-disco grooves, tribal house and voodoo-techno.

Lion’s Drums released a first EP on John Talabot’s Hivern Discs, made a psychedelic acid remix of “Goca Dunya” (Altin Gün), and in 2021 released his first album “Kagabas”.  “Kagabas” is an audio project comprising new compositions based on field recordings of original songs the Kagabas people sing to wild animals and their habitat.

A second artist album, “La Batterie”, was released on Berlin-based Cocktail d’Amore (2022).  Lion’s Drums nailed it with his edits for Sandy B’s classics “Student Nights” & “Amajovi Jovi”.
Harold also runs Biologic Records with partner in crime DC Salas.

Last but not least! We made a little collaboration with our friend Palmroos production, who runs a podcast series– Electronic Talks. Listen in here to get a background behind the music on Lion's Drums set and what he has been up to down in Marseille. Lion's Drums is a very versatile artist who has juggled many many different projects throughout the years. He has a lot of interesting stories to listen in on.
