Diskjokke, “The Bund” MP3
- story Matthew Schnipper
When it has a consistent backbeat, “The Bund,” the new single from Smalltown Supersound superstar Diskjokke, is in 4/4 time. But it has too much cross-streaming and late night ’80s dark Miami vibes to be a four-on-the-floor burner. Because apparently we are xenophobes, it’s crazy that he made this in Norway. Unless it was on a fjord, in which case that makes sense because when are you chilling on a fjord you probably get touched lightly on the cheek by baby sea lions’ soft paws, while water turns to wine and angels pour it directly down your throat and dab any mess with their wings. There are no fjords where we live, nor, really, are there any Diskjokkes, producing the kind of disco easily listenable at Love or outdoor yoga.

- story THE FADER
If you’d like to meet a FADER editor in person this week, you can find us all at one of Lykke Li’s two shows in New York on Wednesday and Thursday. We will be draped in Swedish flags and our breaths will have the sweet pungency of pickled herring. That’s how we do it: FULL SUPPORT SQUAD. For, you see, Lykke is in the next issue of The FADER (F54) and we are all not-so-secretly in love with her. RCRD LBL just put up this exclusive download of Lykke’s “Everybody But Me” remixed by Norwegian favorite diskJokke, who we spoke to back in February. It is härlig! Next month we’ll hit up someone in Denmark and it’ll be a wrap for FADER Scandinavia.

Q+A: diskJokke
- story THE FADER
This remix of Harrys Gym (who kind of sound like the Norwegian Blonde Redhead) by diskJokke aka Joachim Dyrdhal kind of sounds like something you’d play at a “beach rave”. While we’ve never been to a “beach rave” (They happen in Croatia?), we hope that they are chock full of these kind of smooth, funkified jams to bliss out to. Dyrdahl belongs to a set of Oslo-based beatmasters and DJ’s that are pumping out some of the most cavernous and euphoric disco music in the world right now, revolving around the legendary, still-running Sunkissed party. Most recently, he’s been working on his own concoction of heady four/four psych-outs and his first long player, entitled Staying In, which will be released on March 11 through Smalltown Supersound. We rang up Dyrdhal on a calm Friday evening to chat about his music, this remix, and his secret nerd life as a mathematician.
