Dancefloors, moshpits and junglistic crowdsurfing
Posted on December 5, 2014 6 Comments
I stumbled upon jungle sort of by coincidence when I decided to celebrate my birthday by dancing the night away at the Paradise Club in Angel, Islington. This was 1993. 28 days later I went to the Jungle Fever New Year’s Eve party at the Marquee, and that was that. I was blown away. In […]
Blasts from the Past: Birthday Bash Edition
Posted on December 3, 2014 16 Comments
Buckle your seat belts, some more time travelling coming up. It’s the Birthday Bash Special. Huge jumps will occur. One obvious rule (apart from jungle, of course): Every photo is from December 3rd or from my birthday celebrations the following weekend. And the back: Unrelated, but in the same folder, I found this gem as […]
Super rare photos: Blasts from the Past
Posted on December 2, 2014 8 Comments
Jungle pics from back when digital cameras and smartphones hadn’t entered the dance floors yet. These are digital scans from my not so digital photo album. Whaaaaaaaat! Only 3! Yes, you pixel-sucking digital vampires, I know we are all used to 35 photos at the very least from every single party these days (and that’s […]
The 7 most romantic jungle tunes ever
Posted on December 1, 2014 9 Comments
Okay, it’s december. It’s time to get cosy and nostalgic. Let’s oomph the romance. When it comes to jungle I am most definitely on a darkside tip. Which means I am not much of a lover of piano stabs and cartoon-y voices and certainly not r’n’b samples. But I have the softest spot for every […]

Son Kite releases their 4th album “Prisma” today on the Danish label Iboga Records. I interviewed the Swedish duo a couple of weeks ago, and it was a hugely inspiring experience. It is quite rare for me to meet people who take the transformational potential of the dancefloor and the healing properties of proper raving […]

The Swedish trance duo Son Kite releases their new album “Prisma” on November 17th. The album is released on vinyl on Iboga Records, and I did an interview with them about why streaming makes us unhappy and stressed, the significance of good, analogue sound, and the importance of being fully present in the now.

My 7 All Time Favourite Jungle Tracks
Posted on October 3, 2014 5 Comments
A little while ago someone asked me to do a list of my 5 all time favourite jungle tracks. “Sure! Absolutely!” I answered. Like the dedicated junglist I am. That just never ever ever gets old, digging out some of the classic anthems for people. Shortly afterwards I thought “Five… Oh, but which five? That’s […]
5 grunde til, at jeg elsker Phace
Posted on September 18, 2014 Leave a Comment
(Og 5 gode grunde til at alle burde tage ind og høre ham spille i Pumpehuset på lørdag). Der er sket virkelig meget med drum’n’bass-genren, siden jeg faldt hårdt for jungle i London i 90’erne. Den er knopskudt i mange retninger, og det er virkelig ikke lige kønt det hele. Særligt de mere poppede, stadionrock-agtige […]
Culture Box turns 9. Time flies. The techno beat goes on.

So much has happened on the electronic music scene of Copenhagen since Culture Box opened its doors for the first time – 9 years ago. Many more electronic dance floors have been added to the nightlife cityscape since then – and in the midst of all that, Culture Box is still doin’ its thing – […]

What does the guitar game Rocksmith 2014 have in common with GTA V, the most hyped title of the year? And can a zombie teach you to play the guitar? I went to London to test the new Rocksmith game in the Gibson Guitar Studios and wrote an article for Gaffa: Riffs og rampelys: Fra […]
