Long before Jonas Rathsman cooked up an underground house cult following, he was part of Stuffa - a production duo along with Fredrik Nyberg ( DJ Nibc ). Fredrik has - much to your disbelief, I'm sure - been quite a prolific producer and somewhat of an influential force in the Gothenburg and Swedish party scenes. Through his label, Trunkfunk Records , Fredrik has worked with several notable names as Ian Pooley , Wolf & Lamb & FCL [...]

Ever heard of Stuffa? If you're a fan of garage and deep house, and Swedish garage and deep house in particular, you probably have. If you've been to this blog before you should know of DJ Nibc , who runs the Trunkfunk label, and who made an awesome Guest Tape for us, as well as one of our favourite tracks last year. You should also have heard of Jonas Rathsman , who have been lightening up the house sky over the last couple of years, and who also made a couple of our favourite tracks of [...]

So, another year to add to the annals. How does one sum up 2012 in a few sentences? Well, it was like everyone had rented a copy of "Inception" from Blockbusters, since the credo seemed to be "we need to go deeper". There were still was a lot of rummaging around in the early history of modern dance music, but the biggest shoulder pads all but disappeared when the nu disco wave shifted focus from continental European early 80's italo to the later 80's and early 90's American (or at least Anglo-Saxon) house. The neon colours disappeared into the [...]

Berlin-based, Gothenburg-born DJ, producer and Trunkfunk Records label owner Fredrik Nyberg has long been a key player in Sweden's music scene. After taking his first steps in Gothenburg’s hiphop scene, he discovered techno and rave parties and set up his own label in 2000. Trunkfunk Records quickly became one of Sweden’s most in-demand independent labels, with releases from Stuffa, The Touch , Uniforms , David Ekenbäck, Tyken and Trevor Loveys. In 2001 DJ Nibc released his debut single "Deliverance", which signaled his arrival as a new artist to be reckoned with. Voted Sweden’s Best DJ of [...]

Dj Nibc - The Doorman (Casino Times Remix) You may remember this huge remix from The Magician's magic tape 14 back in August. It was one of the highlights for sure. Finally, Casino Times' synth-driven nu disco take on Dj Nibc's "The Doorman", featuring Anthony Mills, is out now on Trunkfunk Records. But this is not the only release from rising Oxford-based duo of Joe Spencer and Nick Church. They just dropped their debut EP "Laughing Gas" , which [...]

Here is a record that is currently copping a lot of air time from my good friend Marco, he put me on to the track in one of those "What the fuck is this?" moments when we were playing together a few weeks ago. I love the whole unorthodox approach to this remix, the whole track feels like a live jam but with enough quantization and the production value of legends. The Wolf + Lamb remix of Stuffa - Proof is an absolute belter, the sparse use of vocals work so well over epic pianos and analog synths. [...]

BACK TO THE ISLAND... Every year, a handful of Berliners make their way to a deserted island in the Swedish archipelago for a weekend of partying. This is Secret Island Nation. At least on the surface of it, that’s what it’s all about; load a few boats with decks, lighting rigs, tents and food and head off to No Man’s Land to get wrecked without fear of disturbing the neighbours. But there’s more to it than that. The [...]
Dj Nibc is one of those Swedish dudes who got fed up with the nordic winters, sold his furniture and moved to Berlin. Actually it seems like everyone cool we know in Sweden are slowly migrating to the German techno mecca lately. Once in Berlin, Nibc kickstarted Trunkfunk Records - your local provider of quality techhouse [...] No related posts.
