DLX Entertainment has just released the first episode for their own web tv “DLX Tv”. Interviews with Form One and Astma about their upcoming album “Behind Blue Eyes” and shout outs from a bunch of swedish rappers; Adam Tensta, Million Stylez, Daniel Adams-Ray (Snook), Maskinen, Promoe and Embee from Looptroop Rockers, Allyawan, Ken Ring and Paragon.
And for some reason we did not write about the mixtape “A New Season (the prequel mixtape)” which was released a week ago.
A new track from Promoe, called “Den Ljusnande FRAmtid, is out! It deals with a new law here in Sweden, TSD is not meant to be a political blog so I will not go in to details about this law. But basically this law gives the Swedish government the right to check all Internet/phone-traffic that crosses Sweden’s borders, e-mail, SMS, phone calls etc. A real Big Brother society!
Not only does this law violate our constitutional law but it was passed right before the summer vacations but it was passed against the Police and Swedish secret service advise and without any support from the people. As I said I will not go into detail about this law or my personal views of it but this track is a welcomed contribution to the debate.
The track is also a sneak-peak from Promoe’s upcoming album in Swedish! The track is produced by Astma & Rocwell, the illustration is drawn by Johanna Ritscher and the layout was done by Time Will Tell.
You can download the track here!
The Last Days of Disco‘s long awaited debut album, entitled “The Last Dance LP”, is out now!
The Last Days of disco concists of producers K-Laz (who soon will release music under his alias “Blänk“) and Soul Supreme (probably most known to the public as Kocky, who released his second album “Stadium Status” just a couple of weeks ago). The group formed in 2005 during one drunk evening at “Hultsfredsfestivalen” when they decided to make music together. Their debut-single, “What does it mean 2 U” featuring members of Sleeping Giants, was released in 2006.
But after that it went quiet, until february this year when they released their second single, “This is what I look like naked” which featured Promoe. They might not be very well known i Sweden (yet!) but they’ve already managed to get distribution in Italy and it seems that their music is very well recieved there.
I currently don’t know where you can get their album other than iTunes, but it’s definetly worth the 90 SEK it costs. If you don’t believe me you can listen to the full album here!

JuJu Publishing / Universal Music Publishing has signed a publishing deal with Supreme and Promoe from The Looptroop Rockers. The deal was inked right before their show at “Allhuset” in Stockholm last saturday.
Looptroop Rockers (formerly known as Looptroop) released their third album “Good Things” last wednesday and the album has been well recieved by the audience as well as the critics (we’ve already praised it so I don’t have to go into details about how great it really is). Looptroop Rockers will be out on tour until early autumn. For tourdates check their hompage.
Featured on the picture is: Jonas Wikström (Universal Publishing), Promoe & Supreme (Looptroop Rockers) and Mikael Wadström & Claes Uggla (JuJu Publishing). Don’t be alarmed I’m sure they’re not as dangerous as they look.
