Yello - You Gotta Say Yes To Another Excess (Jo Bubbles Social Re-Form) - FREE DOWNLOAD

La Bionda - Be Your Lover (Jo Bubbles Tönight re-edit)

Here's an old edit of this gem. Download if you like it and play it loud!

MJ - Rock My World (Sleepless moody edit)

My last escapade to the dance planet resulted in some serious sonic repercussions and still puts a silly smile on my face. I tried to record it but my interplanetary gear was distorted, so I decided to try and capture the atmosphere of the party. Here's what it sounds like.

Music From Dance Planet

Stockholm based DJ and Producer @jo-bubbles spins some slow chugging trance, acid & balearic records from his collection. 

~

What’s your ideal breakfast?
French breakfast: Coffee and a cigarette, but the reality is very far from that.

What was the first record (or CD) you ever bought?
It was a cassette with the Swedish pop group Trance Dance (and look where it got me!). I think the first record was when Tears For Fears released their Seeds of Love album in ’89.

What’s your musical guilty pleasure?
No guilt in music for me anymore, but if I were to abide to the rules of the guilty pleasure I would probably say American college pop, like Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen.

Does your alias have a backstory?
My alias came from a situation when I quickly had to come up with a name for a track on a compilation. I was watching The Wire at the time and really like this character called Bubbles. The name kinda stuck with me because it’s positive, naive and a little bit cheeky, like my music.

What’s the best thing you’ve ever got for free?
Not an endorsed message, but I was part of the RBMA (look it up if you’re unfamiliar with it) in 2006. That included a free trip to Melbourne, accommodation, food and new friends. And of course a glorious line-up of esteemed lecturing artists.

Do you have a party trick?
No but I’m a really good dancer and that’s usually a party starter. In house parties I’m the guy standing in the corner, deep in conversation.

What’s your current rotation of non-dance music?
I’ve been listening to Ryuichi Sakamoto a lot after his passing. I can’t get enough! Also a lot of slow ambient stuff from artists such as Khotin and Gigi Masin. I’m also really into Laura Groves, Art Feynman and Kendrick Lamar.

Where's your current favourite place(s) in the world (and why)?
As far as cities go, Berlin, because it’s the most open minded place I’ve been to yet. I try not to fly so much these days so favorite places close to home is Norwegian fjords and the forests around my home city Stockholm.

Any other passions besides music?
Cooking, hiking, biking.

What’s something you’re proud of about yourself?
Determination, musicality, openness, sensitivity to injustice.

Describe your Earworm mix
I wanted to step outside my comfort zone but still make something that sounds like me, in a sort of balearic spirit. I really enjoy slow music and wrongspeeders so that’s what I went for. Some of the slowed down trance and acid is defo something I rarely play but I think it came out nicely.

earworm025 ~ Jo Bubbles - 'Slow Flotation'

For his next show, Vibe Operator Llupe invites Jo Bubbles, producer, DJ, party organiser and dance enthusiast, who has been for one of the fathers of Stockholm's small but abundantly equipped disco scene the past 25 years.

They will be operating the vibes with two hours of downtempo-Balearic beats, street soul gems, some leftfield electronic, house music, and a little sprinkle of disco.

Mosaic

I've Been A Fool

https://soundcloud.com/jo-bubbles invites you to his world of many influences and expressions; producer, DJ, party organizer and dancing enthusiast. Behind the name is Jonas, a father figure of Stockholm's small but abundantly equipped disco scene.

The Jo Bubbles persona is a fairly new acquaintance among Stockholm’s many DJs, and with the new packaging comes new music from Jo’s studio. This is where his daydreaming of the world’s many colorful dance floors is being translated to harmony. Songs are crisply electronic, relentlessly groovy and naively melodic, far from ”intelligent” and far from the mainstream, but with a solid foundation of throbbing patterns, rhythm and bass. It’s surely “for the dancefloor”, though not for big room fist-pumping.

As a DJ, Jo is grounded in the soul, disco and house sounds of his beginnings in the late 90’s. The foundation is still very much present in his sound but with a broader range spanning dub, techno, and all things quirky and leftfield.

With the release of his first EP on Berlin label TTNoTDB (The Transient Nature of The Disco Business), a home-brewed cassette EP with hidden slow jams and a release on Mark Seven's seminal Parkway Records, under the alias Joey Beads, Jo is gaining followers from across the board with his bubbling proto beats. More to come in just a few fingersnaps!

We’re delighted to have you in our Family, Jo. Due to circumstances your mix was recorded and released quite some time ago and released now, and in many ways it also feels super joyful and sweet to revisit this mix and the memories connected to it.

We really hope to see you again soon. Perhaps on the 9th of December? OK, nice. Deal. For everyone else, find more info in our bio, and make sure to listen to Bubble’s mix while you’re at it!

MAMA T001 Snippets

Stockholm’s Jo Bubble has an unstoppable energy for music that walks its own path, taking inspiration from the soulful and the leftfield. Releases on labels like Parkway Records and TTNOTDB show disco + deep house a styles as much as exploring dub, ambient + techno. With close friends, he’s also behind new imprint Make Make Tapes - a new outlet for non-danceable dance music. TIP!

JO BUBBLES - 26 APR 24

Born and raised in the Swedish province Dalarna, Stockholm resident Jo Bubbles (aka Jonas Dahlström) has previously released music on Parkway Records and put out several selfreleased titles, most recently on the cassette venture Makemake tapes.

On his first outing on Västkransen Records, Jonas opens his toolbox of subtle grooves and tweaking melodies. A journey into electro, dub and italo-infused house, “Hidden Place EP” features three original club cuts and a mind-bending DnB remix from Stockholm’s hardware veteran Parallax Deep. As one of the tougher releases in Västkransen’s catalogue to date, this record doesn’t just offer solid dancefloor material, but a genuine musical treat.
