Premiere: Bloksberg - “Tækno”.

12 Oct 2012 — Henning Lahmann

As already mentioned, the lovely folks at Hype Machine have graciously invited us to curate a little showcase at next week's CMJ together with Yvynyl, a night full of musical extravaganza that will also include the first-ever US appearance of Norway's hottest current music export, now Berlin-based duo Bloksberg, who were aptly described by Tonje as sporting "space dipped, slow-building compositions". A while back you already had the chance to listen to "Goma", and today we're delighted to unveil another unpublished track, "Tækno", that could legitimately be dubbed the outfit's signature tune, a piece of almost seven minutes of relentlessly addictive, highly sophisticated and restlessly throbbing techno, with an amount of playfulness and subtle variation that can only be called staggering. With "Tækno", Bloksberg once again underline their status of the hidden bombshell in contemporary Norwegian underground electronics. For the Hype Machine Handpicked official CMJ showcase on October 18, please RSVP over here. Photo by Tonje Thilesen.
