Koop - Koop Island Blues (OFFICIAL VIDEO) HQ Koop is Oscar Simonsson & Magnus Zingmark. When listening to Koops music it's somehow easy to believe that it's played by a small orchestra, but in fact the music is based on samples. Thousands of small clips from records puzzled together into new songs. All the drums, strings, horn sections and choires are actually sampled! This is a very time consuming way to make music (it's one of the reasons it takes such long time to make a koop album), but it's the only way to create the surreal [...]
Happy Friday! I don't know if you're excited that it's nearly the end of February, or if you're stressed that the beginning of the year seems to be going by so quickly because, well, I don't know who you are. You seem cool, though. However you're feeling today, I hope you're enjoying the moment right now, whether this mix provides you with a respite from work, or gives you a soundtrack for your day or weekend. In a too philosophical-for-me way this week, I've been contemplating the moment, and how important being present is. I ain't even [...]
Today's a bit of a weird Sunday. For most people throughout the world, they're still on holiday Monday / Tuesday for the New Year, so if you're like me, you're probably taking advantage of that by staying out late. Which means: not many people are looking to chill. So, I thought I'd play something on a slightly more upbeat spectrum: trip-hop. It's a genre that's been going strong since the 90s, fronted by artists like Massive Attack, Zero 7 and Thievery Corporation. And it's definitely one of my favorites to this day. Hope you [...]

Alright guys, the game is up. The students are back from summer travels and we have to rescind our bar stools and parking spaces to their butts and their cars and retreat to our comfort zones in east and southside bars. We have to give back their dance music and act all adult and shit. Here's your adult mix. Not too adult though, because who really wants to grow up?? KOOP 91.7FM, the radio station where Hip Hop Hooray lives, and the reason for its existence, is currently holding a fund drive to stay on the air. I [...]
The last time we heard from Neonfaith was their original track, Tied Together . Now the group shows off their remixing skills on Little Dragon's Ritual Union. On the remix, Neonfaith takes Little Dragon's eccentric styling down a peg or two, and turns Ritual Union into a nice work of chillwave. The essence of Little Dragon's uniqueness is still kept in tact, but the remix's down tempo fits so well with Yukimi Nagaro's vocals. Just like her previous collaborations with Koop , she just sounds so good paired with a laid back instrumental. [...]
Following on from a number of glowing reviews (more to come!), Elisa Luu's amazing new album Un Giorno Sospeso has been chosen as the Fade To Yellow radio show's Record of the Week. Tune in to this fantastic show from 9-10pm (CST), Tuesdays nights on Koop Radio . Un Giorno Sospeso is available now as a limited edition CD and in digital format.

![[Indie] Koop & Coconut Records Say Goodbye To Summer](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3704966_lg.jpg)
Celebrated blog Indieshuffle recently put up a post of 'Five Songs To Bid Summer Adieu' , featuring some brilliant tracks. Just like these two. Swedish duo Koop's 'Summer Sun' is a jazz-infused little number that just oozes charm. It's an utter delight to listen to, and demands repeated listening to appreciate the work Koop have put into each individual sample. 'Summer Sun' is quite a contrast to the lo-fi 'Summer Day' by Coconut Records , Jason Schwartzman's musical project. Featuring Kirsten Dunst , this is a mellow slice of indie-pop with [...]
Really, summer? You're leaving already? What's your deal, man? I really liked you. I feel like we had a really good time and now you're leaving just as quickly as you arrived. I wish there was something I could do or say to make you stay but I guess every season has its time. No, no - don't cry, I'm not mad. We'll meet again. I can't believe summer is coming to a close already. Twas the season for scantily clad clothing, ice cream, cookouts and sweat stains. I, for one, am excited for the fall, but [...]
While we are waiting for Little Dragon's new album Ritual Unions to be released, we took an interview with them for Curt Magazine and our blog. Little Dragon is a Gothenburg-based band, which consists of Swedish-Japanese singer Yukimi Nagano, who started off her career singing for electro jazz band Koop and her high school friends Erik Bodin, [...]

Or How I Show My Gratitude To The Multitude Of People Who Follow This Blog Great music (and your messages) make me want to grab an umbrella and do it Marry Poppins style. Back in 2008 to 2009 when I have but little experience with blogging, listening to music and the science of uploading music altogether, I started this blog on the Blogger platform (since it was so hot that time). Named it "Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk" at first from [...]
Download audio file (01-Autumns-Evening-Breeze.mp3 ) The first time we decided to collaborate on a compilation it was for Grimey , which was three volumes of hardcore hip hop. And during the process of selecting songs, we discovered that our individual musical tastes were very similar and complemented each other well. We have some dope compilation ideas for the future but for now we proudly present... All That Jazz Vol. 1. Some of the songs are strictly jazz, while others just have the smooth vibe like "Autumn's Evening [...]
One of the reasons I'm such a fan of Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewitt's Gorillaz, is that their albums (and B-Sides) lead me to so many other interesting artists that I would have otherwise never heard of. After finding this video of a live performance of the song "Empire Ants ," I found myself tracking down info about Yukimi Nagano , who sometimes sing with a Swedish jazz band, Koop. And, if even if you're not in to Jazz, I strongly recommend checking them out. They haven't released any new material in four years, but their [...]
Hmm, I wonder if this lady ever sends her man mixed signals...: (via) Koop: Waltz For Koop.mp3
I love the Koop . They are one of my all time favorites! Was Listening to their tracks last night so I thought I'd post a couple up. It's like swingtronica, or lounge electromantica. And of course jazz is the key sampled player. Only thing that's not delicately sampled is the vocals...I could go on and on about Yukimi and others but I won't, we'll give you what you want. Downloads below and be hoping for an album please! Waltz for Koop [...]
Sweden's Koop is a duo comprised of Oscar Simonsson and Magnus Zingmark. It may sound like a full band backs the lonely, teary eyed lyrics in "Koop Island Blues," but their music is entirely made of samples. Ane Brune handles the guest vocals on this track. They're Greatest Hits album came out this year. Pick it up. Koop- "Koop Island Blues"
