The Man With Background became Tellus third top 5 on the Swedish Dance Chart. “A real banger”, as they called it up in Stockholm. Remixes from my friends Minello and Tobias Lindell, but also a mix from  Stonebridge, JJ and Nick Nice. This is the first time it is available on digital formats.

With the intention to support a small and new underground label from  Sundsvall named Dunkla, all my three singles there went top 20 on the  Swedish Dance Chart. They got way more attention than expected even though the music itself was way more underground than everything else on the top 20. A couple of Roland’s TB-303 played a major roll.

Also available on SpotifyApple Music, iTunesJuno & Beatport

This single was a promo-only-release and the last from Knockabout. If I recall correct, I had other projects at the time that was more successful. However, this last one was a true disco-oriented killer!

Also available on SpotifyApple Music, iTunesJuno & Beatport

Here is the third single Tee-Bee Trax, aimed at Roland’s TB-303 that does the acid-lead-sound throughout the whole title track. The 303 becomes even rawer when the sound is processed thru a Ensoniq DP4-effect. There are another 3 funky trax on this EP as well. It’s the first time every this is available on a digital format.

Pierre J presents Nello. It’s a long story with a very sad ending, because he past away 2001. We got to know each other 1993 and it developed into a good relationship and also a lot of joint music productions. With this first release, “Shirley” that refers to “Shirley Clamp” who was singing on most of Nellos music, was the first out of many.

We later on in 1999 decided to stop cooperating and Nello wanted to do things his way, unfortunately with drugs involved, and he died in 2001 due to a heart attack. I’m still thinking of Nello from time to time with a lot of love. We shared many good memories and he was a truly unique character and he was so unlike anybody else on this planet. May he rest in peace!

Also available on SpotifyApple Music, iTunesJuno & Beatport

Tellus was on a roll and this was another top 10 on the Swedish Dance Chart. My younger brother was chosen for the vocals and he shouted “Are You Ready To Have A Party Out There?” and indeed there was some people ready for that!

Archive 1996 – U-Trax – Yeah!

Also available on SpotifyApple Music, iTunesJuno & Beatport

The first single with U-Trax was only available on vinyl, but this second single was released on both vinyl and CD. Nello came up with the idea for the track and then we completed different mixes. I also received a fan-video from an unknown producer.
