LOBBY
En podcast med Emil Jensen, artist och poet & Amanda Lindholm, komiker och journalist.

Under Almedalsveckan är det alltid ett enormt fokus på partierna och partiledarna och än mer så detta supervalår 2014. Därför kände vi att det var viktigt att fokusera på de mängder av människor och organisationer, ideella föreningar, politiska krafter som är här. 

Vi kommer göra ett avsnitt varje dag, måndag till fredag, med olika teman, men vi kommer skita i partierna och deras företrädare och istället fokusera på alla andra - på lobbyisterna. Även om ingen vill kalla sig lobbyist. Varför är det så? Hur mycket påverkar lobbyn? Och hur stor roll spelar Almedalen som arena?

The Swedish hip-hop band Looptroop Rockers, which originated in the area of Västerås, Sweden, got its start as Looptroop in 1992 when high school buddies, Promoe, Embee and Cosmic joined forces to start releasing cassettes to friends and the local hiphop scene in Västerås.
In 1995, the trio was joined by Supreme. Between the years of 1992-2000, the group worked hard to independently release a series of four full-length albums on cassette and several vinyl EPs and 12” vinyls. The albums included Superstars (1993), Threesicksteez (1995), From the Waxcabinet (1996) and Punx Not Dead (1998). By the time the group started its own record label called David Vs. Goliath (commonly referred to as DVSG), they were also able to land a big distribution deal with Burning Heart Records. The release of the group's first big studio album, Modern Day City Symphony came in 2000. Under the group's original name Looptroop, they released two more albums, The Struggle Continues (2002) and Fort Europa (2005). After the Fort Europa tour Cosmic dropped off to focus on other things than music. The group then changed the name to Looptroop Rockers which already had been their unofficial name since the late 90’s and they released their fourth album Good Things (2008). A couple of years later Cosmic found new energy and love for making music again so reunited they released Professional Dreamers (2011), Mitt Hjärta Är En Bomb (2013), which is their first full length album in Swedish, and Naked Swedes (2014).

Each of the members have also been working on a series of personal endeavors, including a solo album Tellings From Solitaria (2004), by Embee, which earned a Swedish Grammy Award for Best Hip-Hop/Soul album followed up by Mellow Turning Moment (2010). Embee and Cosmic also have a side project called The Casual Brothers and they have released three EPs so far including The Casual Brothers EP (2001), Customer’s Choice (2003) and Grey (2016). Promoe have been really active on releasing solo stuff and collaborating with artists and producers from all over the world. In 2001 he realeased his solo debut Government Music after that came the classic album The Long Distance Runner from 2004 on which he worked with several highly regarded artists from Jamaica. On his third album he again worked with Jamaican artists on White Man’s Burden (2006) and a documentary about that process is included in the CD/DVD Standard Bearer from 2007. Kråksången (2009) is Promoe’s first album in Swedish and the first single Svennebanan was #1 on the Swedish singles chart. The following albums Bondfångeri (2009), Mellan Passion & Mani (2015) and Fult Folk (2016) is also in Swedish.

Looptroop Rockers really made a name for themselves by touring heavily and they have touched ground in 30+ countries during their career.

2017 they celebrated 25 years together as a group but shows no signs of slowing down. During that year they released 25 tracks in 25 weeks. They were also inducted into Swedish Music Hall of Fame in March 2017.

GravityGun is an electronic music duo that consists of Andreas Palm and Dennis Carlsson.

Broke ‘n Tipsy

The greatest trick the originators of hiphop ever pulled was convincing the world that it’s only one genre, especially considering the massive amounts of musical history they used to inspire its creation. Hiphop is unique in its form, both in its free narrative lyrical structure and the wide variety of sounds that go into creating each and every track. And each producer that falls in love with hiphop and rap enough to write raps or make beats knows how much there is to choose from, how many roads there are to take, and that taking only one is not a necessity. Hannes Lidén and Bessem Bedziri, popularly known as the production duo Broke ‘n Tipsy, certainly do.

They call what they do ”hiphop and instrumental urban music”, and it’s definitely an apt description of what the duo creates together sounds like. They have a knack for finding space in their tracks to reference bygone eras, foreign soundscapes, legendary musical styles, without losing that signature Broke ‘n Tipsy identity. They’ll go bass-heavy and chopped’n’screwed, they’ll go with synthesizers and elements from electronica for contemplative tracks, they’ll go for warped voices and broken bass sounds for explosive moments. Broke ‘n Tipsy are a young duo just as well as a window into the future sounds of Scandinavian hiphop, of neighbouring genres, and of when they cross paths with genre-defying pop music.
The duo Broke 'n Tipsy just relocated to Swedish capital Stockholm from northern Sweden. 
The duo consists of Hassan Lidén and Bessem, and their productions have been included on releases by Cleo & Kristin Amparo, Näääk, Supersci and Koltrast. 

Prior to this release, Hannes Lidén made remixes for Frej Larsson's Chechen project and the Swedish pop duo Materikaa. 
Bessem Bedziri has worked with Style of Eye, and is a part of northern Sweden's hip hop ambassadors Supersci. 

In the Flyphonic/Broke 'n Tipsy studio, the group has arrived at their analog and characteristic 
sound, with obvious inspiration from the instrumental hip hop scene in L.A and the melancholic atmosphere of trip hop.
