"Varsam syra" means gentle acid in Swedish. You know, the kind and warm one, not harsh and disturbing, but loving and understanding, somehow jazzy, still true to the roots.

Happy Bicycle Day!

Varsam Syra

Had the absolute privilege come down do a sunset session together with my old friend Peter Snogen at the lovely Svarte beach bar.

This is the first hour of the afternoon sunset session.

We then played for a fantastic crowd that danced into the night hours, big love <3

"You're only given one little spark of madness. You mustn't lose it."

Northern electronica with an organic feel and solid groove.

The Machine Soul, AKA Robert Folkesson. Robert was part of the early rave and house scene in Stockholm, dj-ing at various underground warehouse parties and legendary clubs like Deep in Bleep, Monday Bar and Le Garage. The Machine Soul is Roberts’s brain child for producing deep and groovy downtempo, tech and deep house - plus the occasional acid techno attack - released on labels like Hug Records @hugrecords EKORD @ekordmusic , When Disco Goes Wrong, Paisley Dark Records @yeadonred and his own label Machine Soul Records.

You can spot him from time to time doing live and dj sets - often together with his wingman Mindbender - @marten-attling
