Center Of The Universe aka Dj Sissyfus is a Norwegian electronic music producer who recently turned his output into a mixture of unique ethno disco & warm synthpop. Live, he presents us with enchanting lyrics, catchy melodies, pinches of acid and clarinette playing. He has been releasing close to 15 albums, performing in numerous live bands and has been running his own label Metronomicon Audio since 2000. 

Center of the Universe has been active in the Norwegian underground music scene since 1998 and has in addition to participating in several other projects, found the time to release a whole host of solo albums, including a trilogy where the theme was space and time. It is difficult to give a clear definition of the band’s musical impression, as this tends to change from release to release, but it would not be wrong to say that melody is always at the center. What apparently may begin as a pop song entice you into a world where nothing is as it seems and musical expectations are seldom met. For the Center of the Universe no surna is too high and no bass too deep. He has always walked off the beaten path next to the road less travelled and keeps trudging on in a landscape where the sun shines, vulcanoes erupt and it’s raining guitars, sitars and just plain’ol tars.

Hi Folks, I'm Karl Robins, originally from the North of England, Leeds but now live in a place called Spittal near Berwick upon Tweed. Been playing for many years as a solo artist but also in a number of different bands. One was clanjamfrie, with Richard Currie and John Carey, and also Blackwing.

Blackwing was essentially myself and Linda Stephenson, whose influences were mainly rock and blues, we sang  together for around five years. I've recently retired from my 'proper job' so I'm now able to spend a great deal of time on music and songwriting and have been able to start putting down songs I've had hanging around for ages, some of those are on here too. Most of these are with the excellent Gary Hetherington, with our 'long distance' writing and recording project, we go under the name 'Dancing with Ghosts' Hope you enjoy the music folks, always happy to have comments and to listen to new music and musicians!

Jansen Records is a Oslo, Norway record label with the good stuff.
