Two months ago Sandra asked me to help with a project that would put the spotlight on new Soul talent in Scandinavia. I had to step way out of my comfort zone, learning how to do recordings in a professional studio, how to capture sound the best way, and how to take care of all technical details so that artists could perform at the best of their ability.

It was stressful, scary, sometimes even frightening, but that’s nothing compared to the goose bump feeling you get when you’re able to capture immense talent and share it with the world.

I couldn’t be more grateful for the opportunity I received, for the skills I’ve learned and for being a part of an experience that’s build on the love for soul, the love for sharing and the believe in the power of music.

Thank you Sandra for pushing me to do this. I’ll be forever grateful! Thank you Andy and Scandinavian Soul for creating this intense musical experience. Thank you Harold for the countless hours I stole from your days to show me how to record in the studio. Thank you Camila and Gustav for capturing this moment so well. Thank you Karol for the detailed mixing and coping with my first recordings. Thank you Cosima and band for being the first artist I’ve ever recorded. You’re onto an amazing career!

More movies will appear over the coming weeks. Stay tuned!

“I like to say that creative people are confident in only one thing: their own doubt. I think there’s a huge lack of self-confidence in a creative person because, by nature, the definition of a creative person is someone who is trying to make something new. They know, if they are professional creatives, that the likelihood of doing that—making something new and significant—is hugely unlikely, so they build within that city of doubt. From doubt, they get to iterate and work extremely hard, hoping to find something new; it’s all about hope.”

Madlib & J Dilla in Brazil, 2005. Photo by B+

“The photos B+ captured of Dilla have become the some of the most definitive images of the producer. In another, he got Madlib & Dilla together on a short trip to Brazil in 2005. We planned to get pictures for Donuts, but Dilla’s unstable health during that time caused him to cut the trip short.” - Jeff Jank / Stones Throw

Couldn’t be more happy and proud after seeing our OFFF 2012 app featured in D&AD 2013 Book Winners. Massive kudos go out to the entire Somewhat team, and especially Matilda Dackevall, who I miss working with!

And this is even more impressing. The song is brilliant already. But seeing it performed all live, is mesmerising.

This song made my day. The launch website is pretty genuis too. No rims, half dressed women or big cars, just real people dancing to the beat.

“Learning how to think like this is like discovering halfway through your life as a flightless bird that you have wings and can fly. And once you discover it, there is no going back. It’s addictive and powerful. It ruins your ability to be a worker bee, because you’ve tasted blood: you become a killer bee, intent on understanding why things are the way they are, finding their flaws, and pushing the universe forward by fixing them.”

Brilliant presentation on how the essence of programming hasn’t changed since the very beginning.

That small little bright dot underneath the rings is Earth. The image was taken by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft. Tiny we are.
