I wish you all a nice summer and hope to see you at Skansen July 29th in Oslo, where I’ll be playing back 2 back with DJ A:G. There are also some other gigs in the pipeline for August, so stay tuned.

After sunny Australia I got back to snowy Oslo, where these days a new club called Jaeger is opening. With quality bookings and a Funktion One sound system I guess I’ll be having a lot of beers at that place in the time to come.

Have a great winter, and see ya soon.

Oh yes. This is a night we’re really looking forward to.

Alex Niggemann was supposed to come and play for us in April, but his flight got cancelled because of a certain Icelandic volcano eruption. He is a very busy man with a tight schedule and wasn’t available until now. I think that says enough about the future potential of this nice guy.

So far this year he’s put out quality releases on amongst Supernature, 8bit and his own label Soulfooled, where also Terje Bakke has an upcoming EP.

Download a mix, watch a video, visit the event on Facebook and come join us at Sikamikanico, Møllergata 2, Oslo at 22:00 on Saturday!

On our next Perfecto! night at August 28th the Norwegian techno legend Roland Lifjell will be taking over the wheels of steel, together with Bart and myself. More info on Facebook. Hope to see you there!

Terje’s newest productions “Tango Orange” and “Orangina” was included in Reboot’s podcast for Residentadvisor and will soon be released on Alex Niggemann’s new label Soulfooled. Respect!

Terje is very enthusiastic about what the future will bring, and he is a hardcore dedicated guy. Have a listen to his recent promo mix at Soundcloud .

Bart & plumbo are (as usual) present behind the decks and will start the night with groovy and deep tech house in familiar style. Go to http://funkyplumbo.com/music/ to download recordings from previous events.

More info at the Facebook event. Hope to see you there!

For Sikamikanico’s anniversary weekend we’ve booked Alex Niggemann, a young and rising talent who has been both playing and producing music for many years.  Loads of impressive tracks and gigs led to an amazing 2009 for Alex Niggemann. He ended up in the top ten “Top 20 Charted Artists” in Residentadvisor, ahead of several other well-known artists as Joris Voorn, Ben Klock and Johnny D.

In 2010 releases on Supernature, 8bit and 2020:Vision are on their way. Matthias Meyer and Alex also teamed up to put out some tracks on Alex’s new label Soulfooled. A quick look at Mr.Niggeman’s agenda on MySpace tells us that gigs worldwide are booked far until this fall. We have been very lucky to get a hold of this guy for Sika’s anniversary, and we have reasons to believe that dancefloors all over the world will hear more of Alex Niggemann’s sound in the years to come.

We are really looking forward to this night, hoping it will be even better than the madness Nima Gorji caused in November.

The man is extremely busy these days jetting around the globe. He’s produced music for over a decade and put out tracks on labels like Love letters from Oslo, Murmur,  Out of Orbit, Orange, and his own Welt Recordings. Some might also remember Nima and and Thomas Madvig as Black Powder – Mosaferat from 2001 which appeared on compilations like Danny Tenaglia’s Back 2 Basics and Desyn Masiello’s Symphonic.

Nima now lives on Ibiza where he plays regularly all over the island. He’s played at the FUSE nights at Delano Beach Club on Playa den Bossa (the new Bora Bora in my opinion), the Zoo Project concept in an abandoned zoo near San Antonio (download recording) and lots of over places.

We are very excited to bring him to Oslo and are really looking forward to it. Bart and myself, plumbo, will start the birthday party at 22:00. See the Facebook event for more info: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=165498521259

Chris Solaris has been a resident DJ at Wet Yourself @ The Aquarium and Cafe 1001 in London, in addition to a number of club concepts in Norway.

Terje Dybdahl did the Deep Freak nights at former Club Pi in Oslo and has attended HEAT @ Sikamikanico, Helt På Trynet @ former Club Solstice, I Am Stereo @ former Club Stereo and has co-operated with the events with Tiësto in Trondheim.

Myself plumbo will get the groove going from 22:00 together with my partner in crime, Bart. Hope to see you there!

This time label boss David Sense will challenge plumbo during a five hour set back to back with the best of house, tech-house and techno music. See the Facebook event for downloads and more information about the DJs.

The Englishman Yiannis Balkizas has spent a lot of years behind the turntables, and these days the man is rising towards the stars in high BPM. Some of the places he has rocked are Ministry Of Sound, Se1, Pacha (London), Koko, Hidden and Ibiza to mention a few. Booking requests are coming in heavily and we have been lucky getting a free spot for this weekend before he turns to spend the summer in Ibiza.

Resident DJ’s Straffbart & plumbo will lay up the serve in the usual style, building up a top atmosphere ready for Yannis to take over.

Expect driving, pumping tech house and techno.

UPDATE 1: After this post was originally written, Facebook came up with a solution to create lists of friends. You can create several lists, based on your own personal criterias, and add your friends to different lists, which you then can send event or page invitations to. I would rather recommend using this solution provided by Facebook, so that you don’t send information which might not apply to all of your friends.
To create a list, go to your Account settings, choose Edit Friends and Create new list. After you’ve created new lists you have an option to filter friends based on list names when you’re inviting friends to events or pages.

The newly redesigned Facebook has led inviting members to an event/group/page to an even more complex process. Why can’t they just make a “select all” button? Initially I got tired of clicking several hundred times on all the pictures to invite people to my event, so I came up with this small piece of Javascript:

Go to your event/group/page, click invite people and then paste this snippet in the URL field of your browser.
Left-click the mouse in the URL field and hit Enter. Your invitations will not be sent yet, but all your friends will be selected. Click the “Invite” or “Send” button on the Facebook page to finally send the invites.

Soi! Done in one go

Next gig is Friday March 6th at Sikamikanico where I will play with Len and balErik. Drop by to hear some fresh house music.
