Put some music. To your troubles.

Three years ago, DK7 brought out their debut single 'The Difference' - an original and thrilling mix of acidic 303's and leather-scented rock'n'roll. It's still a big hit chez headphonesex, and gets regular outings on my decks. It was also single of the month in the sadly extinct Jockey Slut magazine (which was about as high a commendation as you could get).

The duo - prolific Swede Jasper Dahlback partnered with Mark O'Sullivan - are now on their third single for Output - 'Where's The Fun' - and after what was in my eyes a slightly disappointing second record this is right back up there with 'The Difference'.

It follows a similar aciiied-laced rock template - squelchy 303 action overlaid with a languid vocal. I love the clash between the acid freak-out music and the despondant lyrics.

'Where's The Fun In All This??'

DK7 - WHERE'S THE FUN

Now I think of it, the track is quite reminiscent of 'Tribulations' by LCD Soundsystem (try replacing the vocals in your head with James Murphy's... they'd certainly mix well together anyway).


I'm not familiar with too much else of Dahlbeck's work, but you can find releases by him on F-comm, Poker Flat, Kanzleramt, Drumcode, Turbo Recordings, Missile, Intec, Yoshi Toshi and 2020 vision - as well as about 3o records on Svek! He's a busy chap...
