Friends! Once again, we cannot stop thanking you enough for the incredible turn up at our spontaneous entrance night at Lykke Nytorget in Stockholm. The entire event turned into an instant love story, with many more exciting things to come. Joining us on that very same night Hannah Prescott @hypsmusic and Åke Falk @akefalkog , who literally kicked in the door in our faces. In a nice way.

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.

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.
