"Based in Berlin, Hiorthoy makes all of his music with hip-hop's favourite old school toy, an MPC sampler, which explains the raw dynamics of his style, but not how he manages to keep it all together so well. "This Record..." lashes punch-drunk drums with cool saxophone riff and intermittent piano - the only other element ...

We congratulate Kim with this nomination. Kim is nominated for his debut album "Hei". This is a funny nomination for us as this prize is for "serious" music and is mostly for high brow contemporary stuff, so its cool to know that we are "serious" and that pop music is taken seriously as well. Anyway ...
"12 minutes of the kind of insane sonic science that only the Scandinavians can produce. Cheeky brass take turns with lonesome pianos to build the atmosphere until firing timpani, cymbals and syncopatet beats make way for distortet free jazz saxophone and a finale worthy of such an epic. A record that is difficult to play ...
"Words On The Floor" is the title of the new album by Yoshimi of the great Boredoms and our own Mats Gustafsson. The album is recorded and is being mastered now. Artwork by Kim Hiorth
"British/Scandinavian duo Alisdair Stirling and Jorgen Traeen mix the space-age zaniness of The Residents with Cornelius`s TV show pop, Mouse On Mars` squelchiness and the bubblegum melodies of Super Mario bonus levels. The result should be an utterly disposable example of popular culture recycling itself into oblivion. It is, however, an avant garde ...

Telescope Mind is the title of the new Tussle album that is just finshed recorded. This is probably one of the best albums that has ever been released on Smalltown Supersound. We just love it, and it is in many ways the ultimate Supersound. You`ll understand when you hear it. The album will be ...
"British-Norwegian pair`s quirky pop. Toy`s Alisdair Stirling and Jorgen Traeen claim to have met in the Casio department on the fifth floor of Hamley`s, and take inspiration from Pingu and noise music. We know for certain that their cascading reverie "Rabbit Pushing Mower" opened Annie`s recent DJ Kicks selection, and that ...
"Charting a cartoonish frolic through dolphin pop and Seventies sci-fi, Norway/UK duo Toy are a rabid, bleep-addled joy. They`re also the finest literally designated alliance since Chubby Checker And The Fat Boys. Asserting they met in the Casio dept of London plaything emporium Hamley`s, Toy are House Of Hiss/Sensible Twins stalwart ...
"The duo of Alisdair Stirling and Jurgen Traeen met (allegedly) in the music department at Hamley's toyshop. A bond was formed among the Casio keyboards and xylophones, and thus Toy were born. Cooked up via the magic of the internet (Traeen lives in Norway, Stirling in the UK), this is the soundtrack to a ...
