Revered Danish electronic producer Kasper Bjørke has quietly been a consistent force over decades, steadily rising in the ranks with his eclectic and artful approach to disco and all that falls around it.

His latest album, “Puzzles,” was released earlier this year and showcases further versatility and focusses on the “deep roots in the classic disco groove.”

Featuring collaborations with a diverse array of artists, the album is a testament to Bjørke’s ability to effortlessly blend genres while maintaining his signature sound – whether it’s dark and mood driven or rooted in those euphoric club moments which are soaked in synths and melody.

As a DJ he is wildly eclectic, drawing for leftfield sounds which are rooted in EBM, New Wave, Nu-Disco, House and beyond.
 

From classic bangers to new school disco, this one cements his longstanding presence at the forefront of indie dance and demonstrates why he is such a powerhouse in the booth.

INTERVIEW

Kasper Bjorke - The Ransom Note Mix

On this weeks episode of the Feel My Bicep mixtape series, we welcome Will Silver, a force in the UK dance scene. Through production and his Rinse FM show, he’s earned support from the likes of BBC Radio 1, HAAi, Four Tet and more. One to watch in electronic, lets catch up and find out what he’s been up to…

"I had the opportunity to immerse myself living in the vibrant culture of Bogotá earlier this year, where I dedicated my time to wrapping up my upcoming EPs. Connecting with talented Colombian artists through Vandelay Radio, a radio station I co-run with my close friend Dare Balogun. After this, myself and my partner took some time to travel, and my trip ended in Mexico City where I had the honour of closing out the main hall of the legendary [sic] club. Now, back home in London, I’m feeling recharged and ready to tackle new challenges and goals.

The mix was recorded at home, where I set up my turntables and CDJs on my living room table, surrounded by plants, with good lighting and a cup of tea. I wanted the setup to look visually appealing because I decided to film the mix. Capturing both the audio and visuals felt important to me for the mix.

I wanted to maintain a steady groove and energy throughout the show, as that approach reflects my style. I’d like to think that I select tracks that keep the dancefloor alive, but I was keen to introduce some variety to avoid a one-dimensional vibe. To create those subtle shifts, I incorporated tracks from artists like Terry Lee Brown Junior and Envoy, allowing the mix to breathe a bit. Of course though, I had to throw in my new bits too and it was fun to see how they fitted."

Up Next…

"I have lots of club releases coming out. My focus remains on creating music that resonates with the dancefloor. I’ve been making tunes and DJing since I was a kid, and I’ve come to realise that, for me, it’s no longer just about expressing my personal experiences through music. For me it’s about crafting something for others, something fun. What do people truly crave in these spaces? The chance to dance, to have fun, to feel safe, to forget about any troubles they’ve got going on and to be swept away on a joyful journey of transcendence.

As a DJ and club music producer, my goal is to create a space where connection is at the heart of the experience. I want people to feel deeply connected to the music, to each other, and to the moment itself. There’s nothing in the world that compares to that sense of unity on the dancefloor. And that’s why we do it. Some of my happiest moments in life have happened in those spaces, and I’m committed to bringing that experience to others in this vibrant culture. If anyone wants to watch me play, my next confirmed show is on 11th October at Venue MOT!"

Scuba & John Osborn - Sisyphos Berlin, 1 Sept 2024

"This mix is a live recording of a warm up set I played at a LLIPS party back in April of this year. A little flirty, cunty taste of what our dance floor sounds like in the earlier hours. It starts off nice and bouncy and burns into rolling naughty grooves. So actually, I've found (through experience) it also works really well AFTER the club, when you get back to someone's place and want to sling on a mix and continue the laughs and chats. It’s perfect for when you wanna take the BPM down but the WPM (words per minute) go up ;) It keeps the party rolling for sure, so yeah, I would prescribe a good, long dose of after-partying.."


We catch up with @bellasarris on her life out and proud, juggling her party LLIPS,  mixing and producing alongside being a killer sommelier and eating well.

https://soundcloud.com/norusmusic: With a hypnotic blend of textures and jazz elements, this mix was recorded with the intention of being an escape valve, both for me while creating it and for those who will listen to it.  A movement to appreciate the present moment and forget, even if briefly, everything that surrounds us.
