Ganga

 Staring out into my backyard. Its raining today in Copenhagen, and I close my eyes and dream that I am strolling Benniras beach on Ibiza looking for the next long drink.

Its been a few days now since I returned from the island, and I still have the hot air in my bones so to say. June is a great time of year to go there. Temperature is nice and not too hot, and the season is not really started, even though there is opening parties all over in all the clubs and beachbars.

I went there to promote the new Ganga album Gaia, which has a digital release on the 15^th. Of june. The physical release was june 1^st. on Ibiza and august 1st. One World Music releases the physical  album in Australia.

The overall reaction to the album has been very good, even though we haven’t splashed out with huge promotion campagnes. The DJs that are important for this kind of music has in general been very pleased so that’s great. I am awaiting Pete Goodings review in the Tillate Magazine later this month, and already now there is couple of tracks licensed off the album  to compilations.

On Ibiza I played two live shows on the two local radio stations, Ibiza Global Radio – with my DJ Malte, and on  Ibiza Sonica I was a guest at Andy Wilsons show. Great fun actually to play both shows, and at Sonica they actually streamed the show so its gonna be online somewhere on youtube. Fantastic view from that studio overlooking the foothills I think they call them – I would call them mountains.

I also played a liveset at the beachbar Kumharas near San Antonio and  two sets t Sands and El Chiringuito, which has arisen again after a period of reatauration. 

At Las Dalias Hippemarket there is a great little record shop where they also DJ all day long, and many different artists and DJs come here to play. Very small and very cozy place – fun little place to play and great people. Nice to see some people actually buying physical CDs.

That same night I finished off playing an uptempo DJ set at Hotel Es Vive at a party they call “Church On Sundays – Hail Bloody Marys” – great fun to play only uptempo tech house and electro stuff.  Nicole Maudaber is the resident at that club normally, but this night I was there with Damien Wilson from CR2 Records.

So back to normal business here in Copenhagen after a short tour break.
