Bård Aasen Lødemel, alias Skatebård, fattet interesse for techno og rave på 90-tallet, før han ble produsent av retrofuturistisk disco, house og techno.

Lødemel fra Ørsta ble raskt en del av Bergens voksende klubbmiljø etter å ha flyttet dit i 2000, og etter kort tid var han også signet på Tellés underlabel Tellektro. Hans første utgivelse under navnet Skatebård, et konsist album kalt Skateboarding Was a Crime (I 1989), ble utgitt (kun på vinyl) i 2002, og sakte men sikkert begynte Skatebårds rykte å spre seg utover Norges grenser.

Gjennom en imponerende karriere, fem album og mer enn tjue tolvtommere, har han jevnt og trutt laget seg en egen nisje og en helt unik stil, der en blanding av tilsynelatende forskjellige sjangre og stemninger faller seg helt naturlig. Musikken pendler mellom italo-disco og rå, Detroit-inspirert house og techno. Med en misunnelsesverdig eklektisk samling, og en evne til å navigere sømløst i den, byr Skatebårds DJ-sett på spennende utflukter i det ukjente og uventede. Han balanserer kitch med raffinement og eleganse, og resultatet er alltid livsbejaende, nonsjalant moro.

Bangulo - That Place

Lyrics:
I.
Our patriotic heroes fought and died
Are we free?
Are we free?
The common man still toils day and night
To be free
To be free

From highborn crown to highborn coin
What has truly changed?
Day by day, the things we won
Grow ever more estranged

Carving up the nation into pieces to be sold
To the highest bidders as if ambits of control
Giving no recompense for the livelihoods they stole
And if we should survive it we shall have to pay the toll

Many with the means will depart
Relinquish the nation they adore
Many will not choose to break their hearts
This choice will be denied to many more

II.
At the risk of persecution they arrive
Are they free?
Are they free?
Competing with the natives to survive
To be free
To be free

From native soil to new lands
What has truly changed?
Day by day, the dreams they had
Grow ever more estranged

Just a few more places you can sign your life away and
Deplete your nerves and muscles to be kept within your station
Or tread your fellow man until you reach a higher plane
One begins to wonder can there be no other way

One of us at times will be picked
But they'll never let us all win the prize
It's just another trick
To keep the unrest neutralised

III.
Retouching this programme has
Never changed a thing
Let down your guard for but a trice
And the poison rushes in

We've let them split us all apart
For far, far too long
It's time to act together now
Together we'll be strong

IV.
Our patriotic heroes fought and died
Are we free?
Are we free?
The common man still toils day and night
To be free
To be free

From highborn crown to highborn coin
What has truly changed?
Day by day, the things we won
Grow ever more estranged

We can't let them erode the things we fought for nor allay
Our disquiet with conceded bait to keep us in our places
This system seems designed to keep us passive and complacent/complaisant
So we don't get too zealous when we see how they betray us

Designed to keep us faint and isolated
To squeeze out our vigour and time
But we won't be alienated
We rise up against their crimes

Question:  Are those Neapolitan and augmented sixth chords, secondary dominants, mode mixture, chromatic mediant relationships, fully diminished seventh chord enharmonic modulation, augmented and diminished dominants, deceptive cadences, borrowed chords, Brahms-inspired motivic development and saturation, suspensions, and smooth voice leading that I hear in this composition?
Answer:  Why yes, yes they are.  Thank you for asking.
