New club night tonight!

Tonight I am once again djing at Musslan in Stockholm. Starting at ten. Who knows, I might play this track tonight.

First DJ gig of the year!

Yes, tonight is the first DJ gig of the year.

Every time I am dj:ing I thougt it would be nice to post a music video that says something about my club. What better way to start that new tradition then with my favourite northern soul song of all time. That is, The Epitome of Sound with "You don´t love me".

Someone has made a really cool video for this song. If I didn´t know any better, I would assume it is an original music video. The clips are oerfectly matched with the music. And I hope people dance like those in the video tonight.:)

10 in the evening at Musslan Bar, the address is Dalagatan 46 in Stockholm.

Best of 2011 and the start of 2012!

One week has now passed by of the new year. And to conclude it, here is my top 100 playlist of 2011 from 100 different acts!

The list contains everything from Sbtrkt, Joker, Lycke Li, Charles Bradley, Feist, Little Dragon, Anna Järvinen, Com Truise, Jens Lekman, Jenny Wilson etc.

The list is not in any rating order, but my favourite song of the year is still The Magicians remix of Lycke Li´s "I Follow rivers". Still so, so, so good...

This week Swedish duo Studio - where Dan Lissvik is one member - announed that they will split. The year will hopefully continue on a happier note as I have my first dj gig tomorrow Saturday. Check out the home page for the place Musslan for gig updates!

God Jul!

Or Merry Christmas as they say in English! The blog has not been so active during the autumn, but that will change next year as it will be updated almost on a daily basis, that is a new years promise!

I should also mention I have started to dj every third Saturday on the club Musslan in Stockholm, instead of Thursdays. In a couple of days I will present the annual 100 best songs of 2011 from 100 different acts. Until then, you have to settle with my Christmas playlist.

So walk out to winter a sing a holiday hymn!

Good news, really good news

Last time I was in the DJ booth my club was recommended as the best club in Stockholm that evening in Sweden´s largest paper, Dagens Nyheter!

I was of course very happy with this and it will bring som ereal confidence into the next dj set on Thursday next week. This time I will play indie and soul from this year only, 2011!

The Drumming Cat is a DJ!

Tomorrow I will go into the dj booth at a bar called Musslan in Stockholm. I have had one gig there earlier this Summer and will continue to dj in the autumn. The upcoming dates are tomorrow, August 18th, September 8th and September 29th. In other words, every third Thursday! The address is Dalagatan 46 in Stockholm.

Expect a mixture of indie and soul in the best Postcard spirit! One Orange Juice song per evening is a promise. Every time I dj it is from 9 in the evening to one at night. Welcome!

The great dj Kattis!

Recently I attended the best edition of the club Tropikerna so far and the icing on the cake was their best giest dj ever: Kattis Jansson played some great tunes and therefore I want to recommend her next own gigs this Summer. If you are passing by Stockholm at these dates, do not miss her!

July 2nd at Slakteriet/ The Black Banana Inn.

She was also kind enough to send me this Spotify playlist.

Visit the Tropics in Stockholm

Yes it´s possible! Even in this cold part of the world. A couple of friends of mine are running a great club called Tropikerna (The Tropics) which is a really good place to go if you are visiting Stockholm. Here is where you find adrress for the club etc. Their next gig is on April 16th, the same date as another friend was djing in Stockholm. Below is one video where I interview Klas and Pontus who runs the club. And then there is also one video with an example of what you can expect from this club.

Enjoy!
