diskJokke - Rosenrod

Rosenrod by diskJokke

4...according to our on Thu 20 Aug, 2009.

DiskJokke is Joachim Dyrdahl a Norwegian born producer with a growing reputation for tasty little morsels of spacious electronica. Two of these said morsels are present of new 7" single Rosenrod. The A-side and title track is a skronkin' little acid inspired instrumental euro dance jaunt. It's got those nice static background synths you associate with dramatic 80's soundtrack music and the bass line keep things ticking over nicely. It's complimented with some tasteful progressive melodies that give it a retroist future feel of Trans AM doing Kraftwerk rip-off's way back in 1984. B-side 'The Bund' has a dubby spaced electronic feel that rocks a steady bpm and grooves like an Italian Dub-Disco mong out. Again, it's perfect soundtrack music spiced up for the dancefloor. Difficult to dislike, this single will be coming home with me. Yeah Y'all!

Just in time for summer comes the heady tropical space-disco of diskJokke with his new single of creamy, dub-spacious electronica.

27-year-old Norwegian producer Joachim Dyrdahl aka diskJokke was discovered by Prins Thomas and kicked off his career releasing singles on Thomas’ label Full Pupp. After 2008’s critically acclaimed debut album, Staying In, he’s back with Rosenrod, the new single on Moshi Moshi Singles Club on August 10th.  

Coasting on the Balearic disco wave created by fellow countrymen Lindstrom & Prins Thomas, Rosenrod arrives awash with hypnotic, cascading cosmic beats and alluringly bouncy bass. Layers of silky, ambient melody is influenced in equal parts by Italo disco and Blue Monday. A shimmering synthesizer combines the retro-futurist sheen of krautrock with nods to classic Chicago house – the result a cocktail of catchy, deliciously downtempo disco that has come to be associated with the vanguard of the genre.
