skatebard & lauer team up for a collaborative 12 on uttu, the two good friends have created some lush house music that draws it’s inspiration from residential crab invasions from skatebards youth. igor tipura returns to the label on remix duties (returning lauers incredible remix from his 2016 bomb dwams). legendary norwegian producer & artist bjorn torske supplies the artwork - rounding off one of uttu’s most aspirational releases of recent times.

originally a heavy metal drummer, bård aasen lødemel aka skatebård, got into techno and rave during the 90s. hailing from a small town called Ørsta on the norwegian west coast, lødemel moved to bergen where he quickly became part of the student town s growing club scene. after handing over a homemade demo to tellé records label boss mikal telle, lødemel got signed to tellé offshoot label tellektro in 2001. his first release under the name of skatebård, a 12- mini album called -skateboarding was a crime (in 1989)- was released in 2002, and skatebård s reputation as an excellent techno/electro producer started to spread beyond norway s borders. since then skatebård has gone on to release on labels such as sex tags mania, radius records, supersoul recordings, keys of life finland, luna flicks, totally as well as his own digitalo enterprises. -skateboarding was a crime (in 1989)- was pressed in a very limited edition and sold out quickly. since then it has been a desired object for record collectors and techno and electro aficionados around the globe. now the time has come to make the mini album available again, something this true masterpiece really deserves.

kiiler new label from norwegian festival sommeroya!

skatebard is back on untz untz records. this time in collaborative mode with stiletti-ana to present: the finsk-norsk body language society. the short version of the story goes: skatebard and stiletti-ana meet at a party they both played at hosted by untz untz in berlin 2011. stiletti was there as part of the duo jesse. a drum machine gets a skate signature on it at the end of the night. jesse remixes skates confirmation bias track for untz untz in 2013. fast forward to 2017 and here we are with the deal that was unknowingly signed in 2011 fulfilled. this record was recorded, mixed & dubbed live straight to a two track stereo tape recorder, during a fine january weekend in 2017 at stiletti’s haista ii studio on the island suomenlinna outside helsinki. we hope you like standard moderne, a moderne standard.

very cool ep from skatebard on vivod ! a mixed bag from the prolific norwegian producer showing us why he s still at the top of his game. -maskindans- kicks things off with some speak & spell funk followed by -hissige helger-, a brooding chicago-style banger sure to tear up some discoteques across the planet. on the flip are -langbolgen- and -gloymde skogar-. the former is an acid style work out, the latter is more of a subtle, hypnotyizing opus. all very strong tracks. don t sleep on this. they will go fast !

the first release of slagerparade - full pupps brand new imprimt for sought after or (too long previously) neglected classics of norwegian heritate has finally arrived. actually appearing on the b side of skatebards flashes in the night ep from 2006 which was done by digitalo enterprises/kompakt - data italia is such a gem you really need to listen to believe how good it is. a customer comment from discogs on the 2006 ep says it all: i really dig the b side. data italia is enchanting italo disco. circuitry impulse overload is a slick bleepy techno workout with lush pads, swirls, and classic 808 claps. were proud to release data italia in a 2015 remaster, sagtann remix and prins thomas versione lunga strada! we let the music speak for itself. more hotness and hot mess just around the corner. full pupp hq, juli 2015

following his appearance (albeit in remixed form) on the debut 12- from keyboard masher s pleasure unit imprint, norwegian eccentric skatebard is given the honour of releasing the label s second ep. apparently all three tracks are vintage cuts from the archive, previously unheard but original recorded straight to tape in his home studio. there s naturally much to enjoy, beginning with the scandolearic-goes-rave synth-house madness of -react 2 rhythm- - all urgent, swirling beats, epic synthesizer melodies and mid- 90s us garage influences. there s more surging, nu-disco goes-house fare to be found on -it goes on & on (the bassline)-, while -pingu- is a joyous chunk of chugging scandolearica blessed with tactile shaker percussion and a jaunty, rock solid synth bassline.

slammin tuff house and electro tracks from 2001 by skatebard, norways #1 techno-riddim-connaisseur...

on a dark and stormy night deep in the seedy underbelly of berlin, samanta fox was walking the streets alone looking for something to ease her hunger for adventure.

big techno track from skatebard just in time for summer + a exclusive 12inch mix by the knights of jumungus (mungolian jet set)

full pupp helps another new outfit into the saddle. even though esteemed norwegian dj ole martin vilberg aka omar v and robin craaford, one half of dance disorder with baby g (bpitch, eskimo) are hardly young guns, they gang up together for the first time on complete: a blinding cut that harks back to the time with good ol jack was still the young buck and closely associated with uncle electro funk: tough beats, hyperactive claps, a jittering bass and a catchy, squeaking melody are still rattling bones if masterfully pieced together as it is done here. the guy most closely related to the italo sound out of the whole norwegian disco bunch chucks the more intricate original rhythm but goes hypertechnicolor and widescreen on the synth parts boosting up the originals melody, throwing in a nod to happy station and a hi-energy bassline.

this is the second release on a series of classical detroit style techno releases from a norwegian bergen based producer skatebård.

another grandios 12 inch from the untz untz records guys with a top notch remix package. this time its a hometown affair with all artist being from bergen, norway. so what is this then? is it house? is it prog? is it (dear we say it) almost trance? honestly we are not sure, but we know that it is balancing that magical thin red line somewhere in-between there and that it sounds powerful.

ltd 2011 repress, rare stuff

run by annie & sex tags !! finally it’s here! the new long awaited 12 inch from the talented norwegian producer skatebård. these two tracks were originally meant to be released last year, but due to different reasons they never made it to the press, and almost disappeared into darkness. totally and sex tags ufo got hold of them, and now they are here for you to enjoy! way out-why not? are two beautiful and melodic tracks, one with a massive percussive breakdown, and both with skatebårds original and unique italo sound. this is the summer anthem record of 2010, no doubt!! skatebård has previously released on labels such as tellektro, keys of life, supersoul recordings, sex tags mania and radius, in addition to his own label digitalo enterprises. totally is a label formerly based in finland, founded in 2002 by annie and timo kaukolampi (op:l bastards). now it is based in norway, and operated by annie herself. with the label annie releases her own material like the recent album dont stop, and various other artists as well

what first started with an never-ending afterparty on a cold cold winter night, ended up in skatebards first ep for luna flicks. two vodka shots later and we have a salute to the old sounds of chicago!

only a very few lucky people can call skatebards wonderful debut lp their own. >skateboarding was a crime in 1989< got released on telles electronic offshoot tellektro, home of great norwegian artists like annie or rÖyksopp. the key track on that album was >sgnelkab< which got played and loved to death by djs like sven väth, michael mayer and pascal feos. it instantly became a classic and always remained a secret weapon. the few copies available on discogs cost € 50 and more.... now >sgnelkab< is finally available on a full vinyl side and remastered to great effect! along comes a brand new remix by norwegian techno godfather mental overdrive (r&s). he turned the track into an insanely hot disco rave remix that already got great feedback from the usual suspects. the artwork was accomplished by another scandinavian legend: sähkös very own tommi grönlund!

argentinian dj / producer joaquin ruiz releases on norwegian label ploink this december, featuring four intense techno productions. ploink – a longstanding nightclub in bergen, norway – branched out with a record label in 2014, and now boasts a discography spanning prins thomas, +plattform, skatebÂrd, mental overdrive and label cofounder thomas urv. the labelís twentieth release comes from joaquin ruiz, a twenty-six-year-old from buenos aires, who has previously released on labels like ascetic limited and children of tomorrow whilst continuing to establish himself in the underground techno scene. ruiz opens with the title track ëgalacticí, where haunting melodies sit upon tight, rolling percussion and progress under complex polyrhythms whilst reverb soaked transitions seamlessly tie the track together to set a dark and bewildering tone for the release.

following excellent releases from skatebard, les crocodiles and lunar concept amongst many others, pleasure unit turn to cut the rug crew member mike misiu for their latest instalment of cool-headed modern disco. do what you need sports a metro area demeanour, with a classic vocal hook sprinkled in at opportune moments for maximum impact. the dub mix is no less satisfying, even with the famous sample rubbed out, but in fact the real pleasant surprise of this release is b2 jam love talk. with its funky midtempo 90s breakbeat and heavy-hitting piano, it s an addictive party starter that harks back to the acid jazz days while still fitting right into the here and now.

norway’s ploink imprint returns this april with a four-track ep from production duo dortmund titled sauerkraut featuring a remix from christian tilt. hailing from bergen, thomas urv and miss mostly’s ploink events have been championing the norwegian techno scene for over two decades. launched in 2014, the ploink label has hosted a string of versatile twelves from the likes of prins thomas, christian tilt, skatebÂrd and most recently mental overdrive, whoís innovative ëhardwareí album dropped in march. returning to the label since providing a track on ploinkís 20th anniversary release last year, hardware specialist dortmund, real name karl markus zavodny, is also well known for releases on montrealís turbo and leipzigís vocabula recording

thomas urv, co-founder of renowned norwegian techno label and event series ploink, readies his debut album. whilst the label was launched in 2014, the event series celebrated 20 years in 2016 - releasing music from scandinavian talents such as prins thomas, mental overdrive, christian tilt, +plattform and skatebard.

ali renaults vivod label continues to bring the goods, as recent missives from skatebard and monkeyshop (their first release of any sort for 11 years) emphatically prove. the imprints latest release comes from newcomer paul withey, who follows up a fine contribution to a recent split e.o on ruby hills & diamond mountain, with a debut solo e.p of his own. the five tracks featured are nicely varied stylistically, but all boast the distinctive shimmer of analogue synthesizers and dusty drum machines. highlights include the surging italo-disco revivalism of -pallas-, cheerily positive synth-pop flex of -yes master-, and the curious, radiophonic workshop style weirdness of -beneath the surface-.

the lunes de fiel compilation kicks-off with an extended uptempo trapped-in-a-maze hysteria set in a psychedelic 90s norwegian remake of potemkin in the harbor of bergen. in the woods of woody lithuania it continues with a road movie starring a young smugglers couple and arguably the most legendary love scene in film history. the story ends at night with a directors cut of a downhill indiana jones on lsd fighting hungry alligators at the riverside of the elbe valley. a definite must have on the new bitter moon imprint!
