Lyrics 
-------- 
well I walked on the water, yeah 
I was in love 
as I walked on the water 
I had to thank god for this woman 
who hungers for my touch 
this woman 
who wants to be my wife 

well I walked on the water, yeah 
I was in love 
as I walked on the water 
I had to thank god for this women 
satisfied by my love 
this women 
who wants to be my wife 

well I walked on the water 
and for that I thank god 
and if I'd been a banker, maybe 
she wouldn't have gone

Banker (ft. Isseki Shirai)

In April 2013 we were approached by the organisers of the Explore the North festival in Leeuwarden, Netherlands. They asked if we would use some footage of the Elfstedentocht (Eleven Cities Tour), the world's biggest ice skating race, and write some songs around it. So we did. A transcript in English is below

An ice-skating marathon that is unparalleled

300km through a Friesland only the strongest can cope with

Newspaper: Elfstedentocht: Tough, Tough, Tough

The starting signal is given for the Eleven Cities Tour
But what everyone is preparing themselves for..
That is the Elfstedentocht

The twelfth Eleven Cities Tour
Temperature: 16 degrees Celsius below zero
A brutal tour of more than 200km
But what everyone is preparing themselves for...

550 professional skaters
Around 9,500 leisure skaters
Skaters from Sweden, Canada, Switzerland and Belgium

But what everyone is preparing themselves for...
Sneek
IJlst
Sloten
Stavoren
Hindeloopen
Workum
Bolsward
Harlingen
Franeker
Dokkum
Leeuwarden

But what everyone is preparing themselves for...
That is the Elfstedentocht.

TRS 09, the new full length release from 5turns25, “Evolution of the Human Heart,” will be available for preorder in mid Oct! This folktronic ambient duo from the Northeastern United States have created an unusually lovely hybrid of very “american” sounding, guitar centric, multi instrumentally looped ambient folkdrone.

Un temilla con el Hohner Pianet T y el Farfisa F.A.S.T. 2, el Space Echo y algo de percusión. Una auténtica cerdada pero tiene algo que me mola, a ver si le saco algo más de jugo!

A track with the Hohner Pianet T and the Farfisa F.A.S.T. 2, plus the Space Echo and some percussion. An authentic shit, but has something I like, let's see if I can get some more juice from it!

01 Slowly Better

Most likely you all know who John Grant is, right? If not, I can tell you he's an american singer-songwriter that just released his second solo album called "Pale Green Ghosts", which is the follow up to "Queen of Denmark", from 2010, that took him to world praise, and a spot as #1 album of the year for Mojo magazine. 
The new album was produced by Biggi Veir of Iceland's electronic pioneers Gus Gus, and shows a new side of John Grant's music. 
I was brought on board to remix the title track "Pale Green Ghosts" and here's the result. For me this is undoubtedly one of the best things I made. Because John Grant and his label Bella Union loved the remix as much as I did we're are giving it away as free download to support the beginning of John Grant's world tour.

Thanks for listening!

Born in Florence, Alabama, rising country-pop artist Ava Lynn blends raw Southern soul with modern edge. With her honey-blonde waves, raspy twang, and signature cowboy boots, she moves effortlessly between intimate back-porch ballads and fiery, festival-ready anthems. Proud of her small-town roots, Ava is fast becoming a new Southern voice to watch — bold, magnetic, and unapologetically herself.
