Kasper Bjørke - Standing on top of Utopia (HFN Music 04 CD)

Following the highly acclaimed ?Harbour Boat Trips
01: Copenhagen by Trentemøller? hfn music proudly
presents it?s fi rst artist release by Kasper Bjørke, with
his brand new long player, ?Standing On Top Of Utopia?.
Danish prize export Kasper Bjørke comes from the
heart of the thriving Copenhagen electronic scene.
After more than a decade as a busy producer and
DJ, Kasper has released his work on labels like Plant
Music, Fine, Thugfucker and V2 Records and in addition
received a Danish Music Award as Best Producer,
for the well known project Filur, which he still runs
with his old friend Tomas Barfod (Tartelet / Gomma /
Get Physical).
Two years after his much applauded solo debut ?In
Gumbo? (released on NYC based Plant Music in
2007) Kasper Bjørke is ready to release his sophomore
record, ?Standing On Top Of Utopia? which is
scheduled for release in February 2010.
The album is an exciting multi-genre journey through
Kasper?s mature, extravagant and richly musical mind.
Lashings of glittering analogue synthesizer jams,
warm throbbing post-disco trips, touching, heart-felt
pop songs and dark electronic club tools are all present.
Kasper really went to town on this album, and
each track literally overfl owing with top class studio
and musical ability. Bursting with live instrumentation,
tape-deck overdubs and an unmissable fi nger-onthe-
pulse atmosphere, its a treat for the ears and in
fact all the senses. 10 uplifi ting, melancholic, timeless
and life-affi rming songs lie in store.
A veritable Danish entourage of vocalists including
Louise Foo (Giana Factory) and Tomas Höffding
(WhoMadeWho) are featured on the album alongside
a wide selection of guest musicians. Jacob Bellens (I
Got You On Tape / Murder) wrote the song and contributed
the vocals and lyrics on ?Young Again?, the
fi rst single to be lifted from the album, which comes
complete with superb remixes from Whomadewho,
Serge Santiago and Lopazz & Zarook.
