VINDAHL :: SERENDIPITY :: TOKYO DAWN



Highly anticipated album from Vindahl.... I've been waiting for this release for some time. My mix "Head Over Heels" is based of his track "Head Over Heels" feat Coco of Quadrion.

‘Serendipity’ is a term used in science to describe an unintentional gain of knowledge, finding something you weren’t expecting to find. This strong pop album by Copenhagen-based producer Ronni Vindahl might offer exactly that, if not even more.

As co-founder of the vanguard soul collective Boom Clap Bachelors, Vindahl has also been involved with numerous offspring projects such as Ivory & Gold, Robi, Kris Mars and Non+. This first album project to be released under his real name has been his secret heart project for more than four years now, its release date being postponed numerous times for further rounds of perfectioning. Of course ‘Serendipity’ is first and foremost a bold electronic indie pop album, but it goes further, integrating insights from his work in philosophy and art galleries into the album concept. Musical influences as diverse as Talking Heads, Trevor Horn and Prince shimmer through, complemented by lyrics often based on themes of duality as the album cover indicates. Guest artists featured on ‘Serenpidity’ include swedish pop star Jenny Wilson, Coco from Quadron and a bonus remix by the Boom Clap Bachelors. An album which is lot more than just an unintentional gain of knowledge, but a serious piece of pop art!

BAXTER :: ELECTRO POP



Already with a several years history in Finland´s music scene playing keyboards in various bands, around 2004 multi-instrumentalist Willy Baxter started to create his own musical vision. The main goal was to compose strong songs with beautiful popmelodies, vocals and spacey synth-based production without forgetting the dancey side of the background.

In 2007 Willy Baxter´s debut release “Aiming High” single was released digitally in all main netstores. 2009 was a busy year for Willy Baxter. He released his first proper EP “Proof” under shorted name Baxter consisting 4 original tracks with high profile remixes from artists like Lifelike and Spirit Catcher.
The same year Baxter was signed for british Mullet Records and a full-length album “In Between” was released in the end of 2009 consisting songs from 5 year period. Baxter was also busy doing remixes for other artists including Tesla Boy.
