[Doí]
Dannet / Formed: 1999
Seneste / Latest album:
“In the unlikely event of loss in cabin pressure” (ep), 2004
www.doimusic.com
Doí blander virkemidler fra amerikansk støjrock og
den britiske shoegazer-scene til en atmosfærefyldt
guitarpoprock. De nedtonede rockelementer, de
melankolske klangflader og den karismatiske vokal
leder blandt andet tankerne hen på islandske Sigur
Rós. Kvintetten fik god respons på deres seneste
ep-udgivelse fra 2004 og udsender deres debutalbum
i september.
Doí mixes elements from American noise rock and
British shoegazer into atmospheric guitar pop rock.
The toned down rock elements, melancholic textures,
and the charismatic vocals bring about thoughts of
Icelandic Sigur Rós among others. The quintet's latest
EP from 2004 was well received, and they will release
their album debut in September.
[Dúné]
Dannet / Formed: 2001
Seneste / Latest album: “Go Go Robot” (ep), 2005
www.dunesite.com
Det purunge Skiveband Dúné spiller sprudlende
indieelektrorock. En fusion af dyster storbyrock à la
Interpol og Veto og synthrockede elektroflader som
hos Joy Division og Spleen United tilsat et stænk 60'er
rock og dertilhørende attituder. Det hele leveres
stramt og med et uhyre højt energiniveau, der har fået
anmelderne til at spå Dúné en stor fremtid.
Præsenteres i samarbejde med
Train og Iceberg Records
Dúné play sparkling indie electro rock. A fusion of
gloomy urban rock akin to Interpol and Veto and synthy
electro textures like in Joy Division and Spleen United
with a dash of 60's rock and the appertaining attitudes.
The critics have predicted a great future for Dúné,
who deliver a tight and vastly energetic performance.

Swardi, Fist og Beef er tidligere medlemmer af det
glade punkband Zink, men nu gælder det grænseløs
neopunk i The Dreams. Den usignede færøske trio

[epo-555]
Dannet / Formed: 2002
Seneste / Latest album: “Mafia”, 2006
www.epo-555.dk
Fusionen af electronica, støjrock og indiepop er
epo-555s varemærke. Med deres andet album
”Mafia”, der udkom tidligere på året, har kvartetten
manifesteret sig som et cool orkester med noget på
hjerte og er blevet udråbt til Danmarks svar på
Flaming Lips. Det er med andre ord musikalsk
doping for folk med hang til genremæssigt
blandings(mis)brug.
Epo-555's trademark is a fusion of electronica,
noise rock and indie pop. Having released their
second album “Mafia” earlier this year, the quartet
have manifested themselves as a cool band with
something to say, and they have been proclaimed the
Flaming Lips of Denmark. Musical doping for people
with multi-genre abuse.
[F.U.K.T.]
Dannet / Formed: 2002
Seneste / Latest album: “Play With Fire”, 2006
www.fukt.dk
F.U.K.T. spiller tempofyldt og synkoperet
drum’n’bass – ikke i den genre-vanlige 100 procent
elektroniske form, men i ren liveudgave. Sequencers,
backtracks og trommeloops er erstattet af en opsigtsvækkende
brug af ”rigtige” instrumenter. Kvartetten
har fået store roser for deres koncert ved sidste års
Roskilde Festival, og det skal den nyudsendte
debut-cd følge op på.
F.U.K.T plays syncopated uptempo drum'n'bass
– not all-out electronically, but in a live version.
Sequencers, backtracks, and drum loops have been
replaced by a notable use of “real” instruments. The
quartet got great acclaim for their concert at the
Roskilde Festival last year, and their newly released
album debut is to further that achievement.
[Sofus Forsberg]

www.sofusforsberg.com
Fermt håndværk og legesyge kompositioner præger
electronica-kunstneren Sofus Forsbergs musik, der
blander komplekse elektroniske lydflader med nordisk
minimalisme tilsat knitrende støj og hoppende rytmer.
Den unikke lyd har ført Forsberg ud i Europa, hvor han
bl.a. optrådte på den prestigefulde electronica-festival
Sonar i Barcelona i 2004.
Characterized by playful compositions and rare
savvy, Sofus Forsberg's electronica mixes complex
textures with Nordic minimalism, crackling noise, and

electronica festival Sonar in Barcelona in 2004 among
other places.
