ThisMeansWAR!

ThismeansWAR! is a thirty-something squarepusher and mashup-artist from Oslo that feels weird when having to write in third person. Growing up in a family of jazz musicians he got an early start fiddling with synthesizers and drum machines in his dads studio. When he got his sticky fingers on a Casio FZ-1 sampler at age eleven his fate as a music geek was sealed. After being introduced to the harder side of the drum&bass genre - "neurofunk" at the turn of the century there was no going back. He has spent the past eight years playing and promoting DNB-nights in Oslo as well as running the label "Dub Monkey Records" alongside Tony Anthem from "Future Prophecies". In this podcast you'll get to hear lots of drums, lots of bass and lots of sounds like robots fighting in the deep universe. Tune in and get locked!

Can you feel it, folks? It's happening right now under our feet. Millions of seedlings are waking up from their sleep in the frozen earth and if you stay really quiet you can hear them moving together like a slow motion earthquake.

My set from this weekend's gig at Christopher Nielsen's Misfornøyelsesbar in Oslo. The three other DJs on the lineup all played techno so the crowd wasn't quite sure what to make of neurofunk dnb. But the funk won them over.
