Audio: Adam Tensta - Little bit of room

I was surprised to find out that my old (bootleg) remix of Lykke Li is still making some rounds on the net. Now it's a swedish hip-hop star Adam Tensta doing some freestyle over the track. I like this weird mix of dance, hip-hop and electro. Check it out:

Stakka Bo AKA Johan Renck

There aren't many albums from the 1993, I'm still playing today on my iTunes. Actually, there's only one - "Supermarket" by Stakka Bo. I've had 3 or 4 copies of it in the last 15 years, only to get them all stolen at some private parties. Thanks to mp3, I have a copy now, that's relatively safe.
I realize, that there's at least one generation of listeners, who never heard about Stakka Bo, so let me (re)introduce him you:

Down the Drain

and also their greatest hit:

Here we Go

My favourite tracks from the "Supermarket" - "Natural", "Happyman" and "People (and the things they do)" weren't released as singles, so you'll have to listen to them on the album, if you can find one. Play these tracks on a hangover Sunday, and you'll feel the pain slowly dissapear...

Stakka Bo, a band formed by Johan Renck, released only 2 albums - "Supermarket" in 1993 and "Great Blondino" in 1995. In the end of the 90s, Johan Renck came back to music bussiness as a talented and successful video director. He's working today with such artists as Madonna, Robbie Williams, New Order, Beyonce, The Streets and others. And he's done some cool commercials.
He teamed up with the other swedish star director Jonas Ã…kerlund and formed RAF film company. There's also his first feature film "Downloading Nancy" comming out this year. If it's at least as good as his other productions, I'll have to see it.

Video: Lykke Li - Little Bit

I've heard Lykke Li's 'Little Bit' for the first time on Rob da Banks programme some time in November. After the song was over, I had to rewind and hear it again. And again. And again.
It has this distinctive swedish sound, somehow it reminds me of Peter, Bjorn & John track too. No wonder, because Lykke Li is being produced by Bjorn Yttling of PB&J.

It'd be nice to do a remix for this track. I'll post it here as soon as it's ready. Versprochen.
