Photo of the "In The Absence of Red" album cover by G. Jim Emmons - In The Absence of Red Happy birthday to singer/songwriter Jim Emmons. It still goes down in G history as one of the most surreal experiences of my life when I was contacted by Jim after my involvement in working on the “Ultimate Prince” CD and my book “Sketches of Verbal Alchemy.” Jim got in touch with me via email (as we live in different states), one thing led to another and the [...]
I must admit, I hadn't heard of the duo Lissi Dancefloor Disaster despite them being from the lovely University city of Uppsala 45 mins north of Stockholm (which is a city we've played in a lot and where we are going back to play on November 9). The Stockholm duo Lo-Fi-Fnk , on the other hand, are old favourites of ours, and the latter's remix of the former caught my eyes in the mailbox today. Heading over to LDD's Soundcloud page to listen to their new EP "AS We Plz" that comes out today, i [...]

Why does Emmon have a big axe, and where is she going in the middle of the night with it? Find out in today's episode of my Christmas Calendar. And download Emmon's new Christmas single here :
Here is the official video for Emmon 's contribution to the electronic Christmas record "9 Swedish Christmas Anthems" that I wrote about only a couple of days ago. Check out the record, it's very different than all the other Christmas music you will hear this year...and by the way where is she going with that axe in her hand...
Don't mind the Spanish Christmas title, it's only more fun than to say "Merry Christmas from Sweden" in Swedish, which had been "God Jul från Sverige". Fully understandable?! The Swedes that wishes a Merry Christmas to you are the record label Clubstream and their artists. The label also includes Substream (electro-pop) and Mareld (chill-out) and they were founded in 2005 by Mikael Arthursson, Jonathan Karlsson and Håkan Ludvigson. Yesterday they had an early release party of an electronic Christmas record with Swedish Christmas anthems. It's not by any chance a jingle bells record for your grandparents [...]
Straight from Stockholm, Emmon 's new track " Lips on Fire " has all the elements of what we consider bangin' electronic music. Keyboards, synths, and a beat that’ll make you blow your own sockets.
The Swedes just keep on coming. Check out the video for Emmon 's excellent new single, "Lips On Fire." Some of you may remember Emma as the lead singer of Stockholm pop outfit Paris, but the eclectic singer/songwriter has developed a little side project on her own to experiment with new sounds and styles. On her new album, "Closet Wanderings," she plays around with more crunchy electronica while still infusing her music with strong pop sensibilities that are deliciously infectious and oh-so hitworthy. Keep your eye on her.
Super fresh new video from our favourite Swedish girl Emmon . She has been quite busy this early summer playing live at all the best festivals in Sweden, both Arvikafestivalen and Peace & Love in Borlänge has been visited with success. But she recorded this video before the summer gigs and she mentioned it in the interview Tracasseur held with her in May. In that exclusive interview we asked a her about the video she was shooting and she said: "In the video I should look sweaty, dirty and quite beaten up. For [...]
A short time ago whilst playing records at Pleasant, a nice girl came up to us and told us that we were playing great music that you seldom hear at places in Stockholm. She said it was fun to share the good music interest with us. Then she left and fifteen minutes later she came back with a signed copy of her new record “Closet Wanderings”. A nice girl making great music, her name is Emmon ! Hello Emmon, or Emma, which is your real name. Who is really Emma aka Emmon? From [...]
I'm still alive... but only just. I've been busy moving to Melbourne with my wife and dog. Awesome, hey? Well I think so at least. I've also been working on a whole bunch of remixes; these three were done for competitions which I either did not win or I missed the deadline for. Fuck deadlines! They suck balls. Hmm... not much else to say about 'em really, except they kick some serious arse! Well, maybe not but either way, have yourself a bit of a download and a listen and tell me how awesome I am (or otherwise). [...]
It's been a while since we did a Top 10 list here, so I decided to give you some of my favourite songs for this month that I have played at bars and clubs lately. Enjoy these great songs and please support these artists, buy more of their music on beatport for example. Simon Baker - Way Out of My Head Driving uptempo house beat that makes wanna go out of my head. Rone - La [...]
I barely keep up with industrial/EBM at all anymore, but I did go through a period in my teens when I was all about it, so I think I'll always have a soft spot for the stuff, especially early Wax Trax such as pre-guitar/"Alain" Jourgenson/electropop era Ministry . Taken into consideration, it's fitting that I find myself really enjoying the new Emmon album since it's so reminiscent of that era -- well-crafted, melodic-yet-dark electronic pop. And not dark like faux-vampire/mesh shirt dark, just minor key and beautiful. I still enjoy the minimalist and intentionally primitive music of [...]
Svenska Emmons andra album Closet Wanderings, uppföljaren till hyllade debuten The Art & The Evil, släpptes i slutet av 2008 som pre-release på Spotify exklusivt för deras Premiummedlemmar. Sedan den 8:e januari finns albumet tillgängligt för alla. Spotifylänk här . Jag måste säga att jag är grymt imponerad av det jag hört hittills, återkommer med en längre utläggning och ett smakprov lite senare. Skivan släpps som fysik skiva i butik 18:e februari.

Sofia Talvik 's duet partner this week is Emma Nylén , both a solo artist ( Emmon ) and member of the band Paris : http://vids.myspace.com/index. cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual &videoid=41815584
The greatest thing about doing these videos is that so many fab artists from so man different genres has participated, doing their own thing with my songs, adding their own touch! Emma Nylén , singer in the band Paris and her own electro/disco project Emmon joined me on my first "Jonestown" single "As summers pass". Emma reminds me of Modesty Blaise with her jet black hair and beautiful big eyes. If Modesty could sing, I'm sure she'd be thrilled if she sounded like Emma. Sofia [...]
