 Storebror/Big Brother is a trio based on the Swedish west coast. Existing with the same members since the early 1980´s the group consists of:

Bert Gren who lays down the drum based rhythmic texture,
Einar Trollerud who is the wood wind & EWI 4000 (and occasionally otherwise) multi-instrumentalist,
Jaak Talvend who plays the bass on these recordings and then adds some guitar-, keyboard- or electronic loop-based technology and production in his Bottna home studio.

For these recordings Bert has given the group kind permission to  issue strange sounds (and silences) in part of his house in Alvhem – the Gunnar Gren Room -named for father/fotballer of international renown.



Bitter John (real name John Hunt, also known as DJ Magnum) is a down-tempo/electro producer and house music Disc Jockey from Montclair, New Jersey.

Biography:

Bitter John was born on 20 February 1979 in Glenridge, New Jersey. He grew up in Montclair, New Jersey, and while in high school he played guitar in a local band called Live@Rangers. It was while attending Lafayette College in Easton, Pennsylvania in the late 1990’s that he began to develop an interest in house music and DJ culture, most notably as a result of the popular impact of such noted luminaries of the latter-day DJing art as Fatboy Slim, the Crystal Method, Daft Punk, the Chemical Brothers, Darrell Kingston, Electron-X, DJ Tiesto, Sasha and DJ Icey. His first album, Stop Asking, was self-produced in 2000 and acquired some notoriety, with the track “Astral Projection” being debuted at the famous club Tunnel in New York City. After graduating with a degree in music in 2001, Bitter John traveled to Northern California, where he settled in for several years. It was during this West Coast exodus that his second album A Deeper Meaning was released. A third album, Fifty Feet Deep, was released in 2004. Recently a fourth album, Situations, was released in late 2007. Performances under the nom de musique DJ Magnum ensued throughout the Bay Area (most notably Club Elle in San Francisco), which resulted in four mix albums, House Work and The Summer Mix – the latter featuring a well-received remix of “The Look” by Roxette, 357­- which included an original remix of “In My Arms”, and Revolver. In 2011 Bitter John moved to South Orange, New Jersey where he was the resident DJ (DJ MAGNUM) at Papillon 25 for "Deep House Fridays". Currently, Bitter John lives, composes, produces, and DJs outside of Philadelphia, Pa.
