Hey Guys,

as a longtime record collector, I used to plan some of the city travels I did in the past based on the quality of the local record stores. This means a lot of nice memories still pop up whenever I see the cover of certain records. Plus, the guys on the counter usually can not only be of assistance when it comes to finding great music, but they’re usually also aware of cool things to do and nice places to visit in a city. A record store definitely worth checking out is Rough Trade in London. It is really well selected, has a long and impressing history and is nothing short of an institution for London’s pulsating music scene. But see for yourselves! We shot a little clip while browsing through their shelves…

Cheers,
Kasper

Hello People,

it’s Kasper once again filling you guys in on another dark horse of the culinary world – this time it goes by the name of Fortunen (Ved Stranden 18, Copenhagen), was born earlier this year and is situated in my hometown Copenhagen! Be it the dainty menu or the tasteful decor, I’ve been a fan of this place ab initio and it keeps me coming back. So, if you’re like me and like to enjoy exquisite food in a chic yet casual atmosphere, you should definitely try to get a table here next time you’re in town. We shot a little clip when we had dinner there during Fashion Week, so check it out to see some impressions!  Enjoy and stay tuned for more from my end!

Cheers,
Kasper

Hey y’all,

the city-hopping continues! After sharing my adventures at Berlin Fashion Week with you, it’s only coherent I’d take Fashion Week in my hometown Copenhagen as an occasion to show you guys some nice spots in my city. So, here’s a little profile-clip on the V1 Gallery (Flæsketorvet 69 – 71, 1711 Copenhagen). Not just because I’m friends with the guys in charge am I a sucker for this place, but first and foremost because they’ve been gracing our town with extraordinary exhibits for a good decade now. So, since the clip is rather self-explanatory, please go ahead and watch it to get an idea of V1 and be sure to stop by when in Copenhagen! I’ll catch you guys later!

Cheers,
Kasper

Hello People,

it’s your host Kasper once again transmitting live via satellite… So, as easily comprehensible from some previous posts, I had quite a good time with HUGO at the Fashion Week in Berlin a couple of days back. So this time, my expectations were far from impaired, since Fashion Week in my hometown of Copenhagen was on the menu. Besides the fact that many interesting people from all over the world and in all types of fascinating couture would be crowding my city, this meant for me: Djing at the HUGO Party with my girlfriend EIF while being surrounded by many familiar faces – not the worst combo! With Restaurant Nimb, the venue itself was quite extravagant to begin with, plus the home field advantage made itself felt quite early, so we were having a good old time all the way through. If you missed out on it – eh, quite the bummer! Check out the pics (we’re both wearing HUGO in the pictures – make sure to check out the HUGO Fall Collection 2012!) of this fun night and I hope to see many of you guys around next time I’ll be playing out somewhere!

Cheers
Kasper

Johnny Jewel can do no wrong in my book. Slowly the genius producer and mastermind behind projects like Symmetry, Glass Candy, Desire and Chromatics has built his label, Italians Do it Better, into being one of the most interesting outputs for electronic indie music – with that signature Italo disco twist. The Chromatics latest album, Kill For Love, is easily the best so far in 2012.
I have had the pleasure of playing DJ sets before a couple of their live shows over the years, the latest one having been at the beginning of their current European tour, at Distortion Festival in Copenhagen. They are indeed as great on stage as on record. The setting in a majestic glass building right on the Copenhagen harbour didn’t make it any less of a great experience. The track “These Streets Will Never Look The Same” is one of my favorite songs off the album. If you didn’t buy it yet, hurry up – and try to catch them on the road as well.

Sweden-based producer/DJ Martin Brodin runs his own imprint, MB Disco, where he has released in the past Giorgio Moroder classics along with new cosmic disco stuff from the Scandinavian scene. He’s about to release his own solo album as well, including remixes by Headman and myself. I asked Martin to deliver an exclusive remix of my latest single “Deep Is The Breath” (feat. Jacob Bellens and Emma Acs) for the HUGO Blog – and here is the great result, entitled Martin Brodin & Copycat Dub Mix. Be quick… the first 100 get a free download!
