│ RELEASE INFO │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
│ │
│ Hird is 20 years old Christoffer Berg from Gothenburg. Under │
│ this pseudonym he mixes house and minimalistic downtempo with │
│ jazz - filtered, looped and cut up grooves, recorded and played │
│ by himself and sometimes with guest musicians. Christoffer says: │
│ "The idea came up when I heard modal electric jazz songs that │
│ were around 120 bpm and thought - these would work great in a │
│ club, if they only had a 4/4 beat to it." │
│ │
│ "Keep you Hird" was originally released on the compilation │
│ Nordic Lounge [DNM] as an instrumental version and it was │
│ immediately picked up by dj:s such as Gilles Peterson and │
│ Michael Reinboth. It was also played on several radiostations │
│ around Europe. │
│ One late October evening longtime friend Yukimi Nagano [Koop, │
│ Swell Session] dropped by Christoffers studio and told him that │
│ she had written some lyrics for the track. The result is "Keep │
│ you Kimi". The same hypnotic beat but now with an even deeper │
│ soulful touch from the voice of Yukimi. │
│ │
│ Gothenburg, or as they say -Gonkyburg, is a small town. │
│ Christoffer is friend with Arvid from Plej who also really liked │
│ the track and wanted to do a remix. Arvid explains his idea: │
│ "I wanted to make an uptempo version that mixed Hirds wonderful │
│ groove with the original Plejsound. │
│ I was a bit intimidated by the song beeing so great but as soon │
│ as I started working on it everything just fell into place". │
│ │
│ Past autumn Hird played different venues in Scandinavia and also │
│ did a promotion tour for Nordic Lounge in Tokyo [see pictures on │
│ www.nordiclounge.com]. More releases with Hird is to expect │
│ during the winter and spring of 2003. │

│
│ soup was founded in early 2002, with the intention of releasing
│ the hip-hop, trip-hop, lo-fi and turntablism that has been slept
│ on by other groups. We're a small, friendly group with a real
│ passion for our music, who're fed up of the overly competitive,
│ elitist and aggressive attitude of certain groups.
│
│ .............................
