AKOSOMBO

Norwegian Mov(i)es #1

Inspired by an iconic scene in the Norwegian movie "Lasse & Geir", where the father in the house scolds mother for serving jelly for dinner. The teenage son also gets to hear it and the atmosphere around the table becomes miserable to say the least. They really needed some techno.

Norwegian Mov(i)es podcast is a mix series where each mix is inspired by iconic scenes from Norwegian movies. Norwegians are known as one of the world’s most stiff peoples in the world both on the dancefloor and as characters in movies. As I am half Ghanaian and half Norwegian I’ve taken on the challenge to loosen up my countrymen. The rules and steps are simple: One movie scene, a lot of hardgroove and hypnotech to blow the clunkiness away, before reaching a higher place with some trance. Then, to celebrate the liberation of mobility, I always finish of with one tune from the genre that Norwegian hips fear the most...hip-hop. Good swing, get in!

Norwegian Mov(i)es #2

Inspired by an iconic scene in the norwegian movie "Uno", where Kjetil insists on buying two ice cream despite the fact that it is cold outside and that his brother says that he doesn't really have the money for more than one. Kjetil wins. He gets two ice creams. As we all should.

Two ice creams

Norwegian Mov(i)es #3 

Inspired by an iconic scene in the Norwegian movie "Bare Bea" (Just Bea), where where Mia, Bea's friend, tries to convince her that Kama sutra is the way to go to impress the school's coolest boy, Daniel Vik.

Akosombo is the name of the dam that forms the largest man made lake in the world, Lake Volta, in Ghana. It's also the name of my podcast series, where I explore the hypnotic, organic, and potentially infectious grooves of the techno that inspires me the most (to dance).

The Akosombo Dam and Lake Volta are not without controversy. Although they now provide electricity to major parts of Ghana, Togo, and Benin, their construction and following flooding caused environmental and wildlife disruption and displaced many villages.
This podcast is my humble attempt to evoke the mystique, majesty, and fascination that the name Akosombo inspired in me as a young boy when I first learned about it. 

(And to make you move like water ofc)

AKOSOMBO#2 is inspired by water.. 

often perceived as calm and life-giving, transforms into a force of extraordinary power and intensity when released from the confines of a dam. As barriers crumble, water surges forward, unleashing massive energy and momentum accumulated over time. 

This sudden freedom gives water an almost sentient, dramatic quality, as it roars across landscapes, carving new paths, sweeping away obstacles, and reshaping the terrain in its wake. 

Unrestrained, it flows with a primal, unstoppable force, embodying both creation and destruction in a raw display of nature’s power, reminding us of the delicate balance between containment and chaos.

AKOSOMBO 002

My friend Karsten celebrated his big 30th birthday with the best theme: his dream rave.

It was an honor to be one of the two DJs he booked (shoutout to Westring who played an amazing set before mine). Playing for a crowd of both seasoned ravers and curious newcomers @Hausmania was such a blast. This was hands down the best birthday party I’ve ever had the privilege to DJ at.

Big shoutout to Karsten and his mom for setting the vibe on the dance floor.

AKOSOMBO #3 is inspired by winter… 

and the meeting of two worlds, where Ghana's Volta River system, warm and relentless, carves its way through the frozen heart of a Norwegian winter. Deep, groovy rhythms pulse beneath shimmering dub layers, like currents twisting through ice, merging the river’s life-giving flow with the stillness of snow-covered forests. The cold feels endless, yet within it, warmth flickers, glimpses of golden sunlight slipping through frost-laced branches, the quiet hum of distant waters beneath frozen earth. Each beat is a breath of movement in the stillness, a hypnotic dance between shadow and glow, warmth and frost, fluidity and stillness. This is winter, reshaped—harsh yet flowing, dark yet radiant, cold yet alive... and so life begins.

AKOSOMBO 003

Daytime recording from the basement of Lokal Bar, Trondheim. This is a high-energy blend of groovy techno, featuring a mix of current traxx and 00s gems, with elements of ambient, trance, and whippin' tribal rhythms. 

With only the Lokal Bar booker Viljar Sæbbe in the room, locked into his laptop working, the session has an intimate yet energized and hypnotic vibe. Perfect for solo dancing, working out or just travelling within your own mind.
