DJ for life

Robin | March 28th, 2012

He continues collecting vinyl and vintage synthesizers as in the old days, he even formed a group of friends who do the same to share their music! He plays hippie disco, krautrock, house and dance with elegance and respect, because seriously: he is the only DJ who never fails, who can save any drawback, he listens to the audience’s demand, he always brings excellent equipment and stays stirring and accommodating till the very end. He is DJ Charec.

Little Gang is the musical musings of the crème de la crème of Swedish indie—Jacob Snavely from Dag För Dag, Carl von Arbin from Shout Out Louds, singer Rebekka Karefjord and the totally bonkers (and I mean this in the best possible way) drummer Erik Nilsson who records YouTube videos in which he is drumming on everything, from a dead seal and a cactus in the desert to couches at burning man, and all sorts of random stuff.

What I like is punk bands with girl singers. Most of all, what I like about girl singers in punk bands is that ‘whoop’ noise they tend to do.

Young Fest, a role changing experience

Patricia | March 8th, 2012

An ultimate place to have fun like the adults without the adults. Free of smoke, alcohol or other drugs; so that’s an issue parents will not have to be worried about. And the greatest part is that people over 17 cannot go inside the facilities. Cool huh? Well, parents will have a special space in a lounge with reading alternatives, and Wi Fi. Read More

Patricia | March 8th, 2012
