MIYU - APRON CIRCUS TOKYO

On Christmas Day we announced that SOULMEEX PRO would become a monthly series in 2024, so we didn't want to waste a single minute and today, we're excited to welcome a key figure in the electronic scene: Kasper Bjørke.
 
The Danish, Copenhagen based artist started making music together with Tomas Barfod (WhoMadeWho), releasing music under the name Filur and mainly active between 1999 and 2006.
 
Kasper adventures as a solo artist began in 2007 with the release of his first album "In Gumbo" on the New York based label Plant Music. Since then, Live At Robert Johnson, Mule Musiq, Permanent Vacation, Compost Music, Correspondant, Eskimo and hfn Music have all released his work - and Nicolas Jaar, Roman Flügel, Tensnake or Prins Thomas are on the roster of artists who's been charge of remixing Kasper's music.
 
His highly collaborative, ambient and neo-classical project "Kasper Bjørke Quartet" had its debut album release in 2018 on Kompakt Records with "The Fifty Eleven Project" and the sophomore "Mother" saw the light in 2022 - "a six composition LP that hints at earth’s resilience, and the promise of another chapter".
 
If you follow Kasper regularly on social media you will certainly know about his concerns and commitment to raising awareness about climate change. That commitment has since 2018 led him to play mainly European DJ gigs reachable by train, downscaling his touring activities to a minimum with the intention to lower his carbon output substantially.
 
In 2023 our fourth guest on SOULMEEX PRO has been focusing on establishing his own new ambient platform, Sensitive Records, releasing two EPs: "Junctures" with Cooper Saver and "Night Soul EP" together with El Agua Es Profunda - as well as recording a brand new album that will be released in 2024.

Kasper also found time to do the score for the latest Nike Lebron XXI film. Making music for advertisement might be one of his less known facets.

*** This SOULMEEX comes with a donation from Kasper to the humanitarian organisation UNRWA supporting civilians in need in Palestine. ***
