Before Yukimi Nagano became frontwoman of one of the coolest bands out right now Little Dragon , she was collaborating and assisting in hidden gems like the Hird track 'Keep You Kimi.' This is off his 2004 project ' Moving On .'
Have you ever met someone and not really like them while everyone else seems to think they are super cool, but then for some reason you kinda become friends with that person too, but by that time everyone else seems to not like them and you're just always caught on the wrong side of whats going on. Everyone has the secret handshake but you. That's how I feel about music this week. I'm in a mood. Fingerbanger 1 : Crazy P - Heartbreaker (don lowed) -- "Many [...]

C-Berg = Christoffer Berg (of Swedish group Hird ), who co-produced the Fever Ray album (together with techno duo Van Rivers & Subliminal Kid ) delivers this remix for the upcoming Florence And The Machine single "Heavy In Your Arms" (due to be released November 15th). The Swedish producer puts together a track that sounds more Fever Ray than Florence, dark and brooding with a mesmerizing synthline.

The brink-of-Spring-Winter-blues are contagious... much like good music. Below is a quick soundtrack to close out the cold, hush the hibernation, and ease on down the road to a seasonal rebirth - enjoi. First a howling blizzard woke us, then the rain came down to soak us; and now before the eye can focus - Crocus. ~Lilja Rogers Analogue Transit - Analogue ( Gearheart / 2009) Analogue Transit - [...]
Nu-Jazz is definitely getting increasingly popular, however probably incapable of doing a "dub". Nuspirit Helsinki are a combination of many Scandinavian artists who got together in 1998. take it further? do so with artists like Micatone , Hird , Art Bleek and others. too reminiscent of Gran Turismo 's memorably soothing soundtrack? then: I [...]
Fascinatingly skilled, Christoffer Berg (aka Hird) takes you through a wonderful journey in this track "Keep You Kimi". For me, it's one of those songs where just everything works; every decision that Berg takes is effortlessly appealing. If you like this song, then you might also be interested in the slightly more ambient Art Bleek or the similarly Scandinavian Nuspirit Helsinki . The latter moving very slightly more towards dub. On an almost unrelated note, I stumbled across a sound blog named 'La Tuerie' which, if nothing else, will confront you with the French [...]

It features some unreleased material, guest appearances & rarities . We'll let them tell you the scoop... More info, tracklist & DL after the jizzy... The Couch Sessions, the [...]
"I don't know where I'm going but I promise it won't be boring." -David Bowie It's the start of a new chapter. The ramp up to Chicago has been an adventure in itself, one where I had to dispel my fears and challenge myself to leave the comfortable. That this leg of the story has been so brilliant-so full of love + support-is a gift, one that has given me the confidence to push on. I owe many people thanks for their parts in getting to here. I'm not scared of [...]
Hird is the alias of the 24-year-old Christoffer Berg, who hails from Gothenburg, Sweden. Honestly, I wouldn't discover him if it weren't for the fact that Yukimi Nagano, who happens to be a childhood friend of his, lent her vocals to some of his best tracks. She's one of my favorite vocalists, you may already have heard her phenomenal works with Koop. Speaking of Koop, Hird's music is not drastically different from them. Easy-breezy electrojazz . Relaxing, atmospheric deep house . Music that's best served chill. If you're a fan of that vibe, you're gonna like [...]
