mindXpander have been booked for a new live gig on the 19^th of February.

More info can be found on our Facebook page.

I teamed up with Patrik to do a remix of “Tricky Tricky” by Röyksopp for their remix competitions. Since we joined ventures on this on we also had to give it a great name - “Gearsluts International vs Pretorium Remix”- and that is exactly what it is. Fingers crossed that it goes all the way this time.

Patrik and I have also started to work more seriously on the upcoming mindXpander album.

It’s going to be an interesting autumn - that’s for sure.

If you’re a mindXpander fan I urge you to listen to the next episode of Magic Beat on Radio Nova. There will be a Norbergfestival coverage, so tune in.
For real. Do it! Surprises are coming up!

On Friday at 21:00 CET (9pm for 12-hour readers) you should point your browsers to http://www.radionova.no/ and klick “LYTT” up in the left corner. That’s it. The programme is in Norwegian but who cares? The music’s great! ;o)

I also think you should be a fan at our Facebook page.

I’m having a Richard X moment at the office right now. Here’s my Richard X playlist at Spotify.

We’re back from the Norbergfestival with tons of fun memories.

To sum it up shortly to not keep You, readers, occupied too long, this is what we did:
Travelled the incredibly long (not) 160 kilometres to Norberg from Stockholm. Checked in at Klackbergsgården and headed off to the Norbergfestival. We met a lot of friends, from both Sweden and Norway (Hei gutter!) and had loads of laughs.
We managed to get through sound-check hell with rebooting synthesizers and some gating issues regarding the microphone used for the vocoder. Nothing that wasn’t sorted out, but scary enough to raise our pulse and use our French vocabulary. Made me think a bit though, since I’ve written about it before, and this time (again!) we had hardware trouble on stage.
The gig was amazing! Wet met a few fans before the show who’d came to dance to our music, and we met Pål and Glenn who had come all the way from Norway just to see us perform.
Pål shot a video, with his mobilephone, of us performing. You can watch the 4 minute clip at YouTube.

Drop a line at the mindXpander fanpage at Facebook and we’ll keep you up to date with releases and more gigs (if there will be any).

Back home, at my fortress, I’ve created a short jingle for a show at Radio Nova called Magic Beat, and I’ve completed my remix of a track by Hearts of Black Science.

There’s a couple of pic’s I shot at the festival here.

Time to meet some friends over a cup of coffee in the sun before floorball practice begins.

We’re still working on the tracks for the upcoming mindXpander live gig at Norbergfestivalen. It’s extremely fun and we’ve just re-written a track from 1994. It’s called “Out of Gas” and features one of the best basslines ever written in the history of Space-synth and italo-disco ;o)
Excitement is starting to build up now. Really, really, need to practice!

Get your tickets here.

Beside that, I’m trying to work in parallel with the long awaited Ypsilon 5 album. Bare with me…

New picture up at Xpanderland as well! Big shouts to Estethia for the magnificent camera work, lighting and retouch.

Track of the week is Thermostatic with “Driving” (Spotify link). If you’re reading this - can I remix you guys?
