30 tracks of fierce energy by

From Ryoji Ikeda to Rosalía: An eclectic playlist of well-known and lesser-known artists and genres, blending soft, hard, old and new into a fierce cocktail of moods.

Aiming to showcase not only electronic music but also emphasizing the diversity within the Danish scene, the curated Strøm playlist ‘30 TRACKS’ features a new selector every month. Along with the playlist and ahead of her upcoming album, we spoke to Vita Dosa about her early idols and inspirations, music and artistry in a burning world.

“My musical upbringing was in a way very influenced and also very limited by my family. I lived with my grandma who had this grand piano in her living room. I didn’t have my own room growing up and in my early teenage days when I needed space I tried to create a cave by hanging some quilts under the piano and then I slept under the piano on a mattress“

Strøm and Musikforeningen Kapellet (the studio run by 2000F & Raske Penge) offer week-long residencies in their Copenhagen-based studio to local music producers.

The studio is jam-packed with vintage electronic instruments & studio equipment, and in March, Peachlyfe enjoyed a residency at the location.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗼?
The studio is an invaluable asset to the electronic music community in Copenhagen! The amount of special gear gathered in one place is really something. It has been really amazing to be out of my usual environment and use some machines I wouldn’t otherwise have access to.

𝗪𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗺𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗮𝘃𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲?
The Korg SD 1000 was the effect machine I used the most. It was so great to use a delay where you have to use your ears to sync it. I made a lot of textures & quirky grooves with that one. I loved the bass sounds on the Yamaha DX100, too - so funky & perfect for progressive sounds.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲?
Every other morning I recorded a long meditation-like jam session on a bunch of synths. I love to do that to focus my energies & get creativity flowing.

After the first jam session it felt clear to me that I had to create some tracks from scratch. I started on ideas to a lot of stuff - maybe 10+ tracks. But I focused on two that I finished tracking & almost finished mixing while I was there. Furthermore, I tracked additional synths & effects for some music I was already working on. I also made three virtual instruments from samples I recorded in the studio.

I’m gonna use those two finished tracks on an EP, which I think will come out before summer. And I now have a bunch of sketches and meditations I can continue working on in my own studio.

𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝘀𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗼. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗯𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻?
I’m gonna leave one of the synth morning meditations for others to listen to & possibly sample from. Besides that I’m leaving three virtual instruments: The TR-707, the TR-727 and the Yamaha DX100 Solid Bass.

We're back at Solbjerg Plads ⚡ - with some of the sounds from Strøm Festival 2023.

We are doing a rerun of all the sound pieces created for Strøm at Lydbrøndene.

Starting this week, you can experience the works composed by Julie Østengaard and Alfredo92 (for Strøm Festival 2023) – and you can go and experience them for free at Solbjerg Plads.

⚡Thursdays and Fridays at 17.30
⚡Saturdays at 16.00
⚡March 20th – March 29th
⚡A rerun of works from Strøm Festival 2023 – by Julie Østengaard and Alfredo92

ABOUT LYDBRØNDENE
Lydbrøndene (the Sound Wells) are 32 speakers are installed below ground in 32 wells all around the city square of Solbjerg Plads on Frederiksberg, creating an underground sound system and a unique musical platform below our feet. This multichannel sound system allows for musicians and sound artists to create multidimensional and dynamic soundscapes that curious visitors and passers-by can walk through and explore on their own.

ABOUT THE COMPOSITIONS
⚡Julie Østengaard: Sewage People
⚡A sonic dystopia where fantasy creatures living in the wells observe the busy world above. This surreal collage blends humor and absurdity with reality: In a toxic, bubbling and absurd underground universe, a life of productivity, self-realization, and consumerism is mirrored through echoes of fragmented digital voices. Fake AI-generated advertisements playfully promise the impossible: To achieve it all without stress. A satirical reflection on the modern obsession with success and “having it all.”

⚡Alfredo92: Scuttle (Pond version)
⚡This piece sets out to unveil the hecticness and chaos that the stringent concrete architecture of the urban city square attempts to conceal. It will embrace and intensify the hecticness of transportation that goes on every day in the urban space above ground. And maybe below. Jump onto the hidden rhythms and see where they take you.

⚡⚡⚡
Coming up: In April (on April 3rd - 12th) you can listen to the pieces composed by Minais B & Francesca Burattelli and the duo Vanessa Amara.

BEVAR KAPELVEJ 44 🖤

Nørrebros unikke kulturhus er lukningstruet

Kultur- og Fritidsforvaltningen skal spare penge, og fremtiden for Nørrebros ikoniske kulturhus er derfor usikker.

Strøm har udformet et brev til lokalpolitikerne i udvalget, hvori vi protesterer mod den eventuelle lukning. Vi opmuntrer alle til at sende politikerne en mail, så de forhåbentlig kommer på andre tanker. I kan finde brevet samt mailadresserne på lokalpolitikerne via linket nederst.

Kapelvej 44 kan alt det, som er så svært at få til at slå rødder og gro af sig selv i disse år:

Huset er et vildtvoksende fællesskab på tværs af alle aldre og baggrunde: Socialt, geografisk, økonomisk, uddannelsesmæssigt, kønsidentitetsmæssigt og etnisk. Unge som ældre fra bydelen er husets hjerte, og der er både plads til lokale og til folk fra hele verden. LGBTQ+-miljøerne finder tryghed og styrke i huset. Og selv de mest nichenørdede fællesskaber og foreninger får også plads til at samles og udfolde sig.

Strøm har gennem tiden afholdt flere arrangementer i huset, blandt andet:
-Masterclasses og workshops i samarbejde med HVAD og Kommunal Dubplate Service.
-Producer-residencies for unge producere i samarbejde med Musikforeningen Kapellet, Raske Penge og 2000F.
-Koncerter og folkekøkken med Bremer/McCoy
-K101 - opkvalificeringsforløb for unge kulturentreprenører

Kapelvej 44 er kort sagt et levende og lokalt forankret kulturhus med et stærkt socialt miljø, som vi mener er særdeles bevarelsesværdigt.

BEVAR KAPELVEJ 44 🖤

Brevet samt mailadresserne på lokalpolitikerne i forvaltningen finder I i dette Google-dokument: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eF0D-q_wwuH1rgtA4phMAhzSR1aLFQybRXzQsIGh7NM/edit?tab=t.0

Were you too busy dancing in front of our speakers during Strøm Festival to experience our sonic adventures in Lydbrøndene at Solbjerg Plads?

Cry no more!

We are doing a rerun of all the sound pieces created for Strøm at Lydbrøndene for the last three festivals - and you can go and experience them for free, starting NOW.

First up are the works composed for Strøm Festival 2022 by Schacke, Sofie Birch and CTM .

THE SCHEDULE:
⚡️A rerun of works from Strøm Festival 2022
- by Sofie Birch, CTM and Schacke
⚡️March 1st - March 15th
⚡️Thursdays & Fridays at 17.30
⚡️Saturdays at 16.00

🍭"Lolupupi Kutiku" by
This piece intertwines nature recordings, synths, and sound-therapeutic instruments distributed across the 32 speakers of the Sound Wells. It is an experiment in creating a contemplative public space that soothes the busy mind while encouraging work strikes and mandatory meditation.

🎻"Strings by CTM” by
A piece for eight cellos. The composition serves as a dramatic and suspenseful soundtrack for an imaginary film drama. While string music in the public space is often experienced as a foreboding soundscape in elevators or back entrances to train stations (designed to discourage people from lingering) this piece seeks instead to invite the listener to become part of the imagined drama.

🤖"Meta Retro Assimilation" by
"Meta Retro Assimilation" is the sound of an algorithm from a distant future attempting to recreate a track from the 1980s. Inspired by how modern algorithms can reconstruct rough images or sounds from data, "Meta Retro Assimilation" envisions a future so remote that it transcends our understanding of musical genres and linear time progression.

Strøm and Musikforeningen Kapellet (the studio run by 2000F & Raske Penge) offer week-long residencies in their Copenhagen-based studio to local electronic music producers:

A whole week in a studio filled with all the vintage electronic instruments & studio equipment of your dreams.

In January, Hakeem Osman and Marcin Mokrzycki enjoyed a residency at the location.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐨?
It’s really wonderful to have access to such a resource. It’s like a library that specialises in electronic music history: Not only because of all the iconic & rare gear, all the books, stickers & flyers, but also the thousands of records.

If you’re a naturally curious person & wonder how the music we love was made, then all you have to do is look around. It’s likely you’ll find your answers. It’s truly inspirational.

𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬?
Hakeem: Roland Juno 106
Marcin: Roland Juno 106 & Casio CZ 1000

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞?
We spent MANY hours here, so we did a few different things, from digging through the record collection & jamming to building a sample library from the synths we were most interested in.

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤'𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤?
We used our time to develop our studio workflows across different areas ranging from rigging, routing & sample recording to session & file management. We also focused heavily on using Ableton Push 2 as a controller to speed up our process & get to the fun bits asap: Playing music!

𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐬𝐤 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐨. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧?
We created an extensive sample pack with roughly 150 samples from 6 different synths (Roland Juno 106, Sequential Prophet 6 Module, Sequential Pro-One, Casio CZ 1000, Roland JP-1080, Roland SH-101). Hopefully, local producers will find some of these interesting. Would be lovely to hear what people can make of it.

Strøm and Musikforeningen Kapellet (the studio run by 2000F & Raske Penge) have started offering a week-long residency in their studio to electronic music producers:

A week in a studio filled with all the vintage electronic instruments & studio equipment of your dreams.

In December 2024, Anastasia Kristensen was the second producer to enjoy a residency at the location.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗼?
“I think the opportunity to come play with vintage and new gear is a fantastic idea. I am a VST queen, so trying this out for a whole week was a great experience! Also the whole place is super community oriented which adds to the encouragement to produce more music.”

𝗪𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗮𝘃𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲?

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗴𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸'𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸?
"I will definitely be implementing it in my future productions. That analogue grain you get from these jams is hard to achieve digitally, so this uniqueness is worth bringing on board."

A deep dive into the Caribbean Jab Jab with 2000F 🇬🇩
The first playlist of 2025 is made by our very own Frederik Birket-Smith aka 2000F; a serious producer, DJ and cultural entrepreneur known for his many knacks and obsessions such as loud bass, aged rum, jungle, boogie and mango flavoured candy. Another one is his enthusiasm for the Caribbean music genre Jab Jab.
Ahead of the premiere of the Jab Jab documentary ‘Dragging Chains’ (by director Emil Hvidtfeldt ) 2000F created a playlist showcasing the vibrant Grenadian style and answered a few questions about the cultural phenomenon and the film too. Find the playlist and interview through the link in bio 🇬🇩

“Rosenbaum loops a captured sound from the decayed piano on a sequencer, gets up, and walks away briskly. He returns and turns up the industrial rumble of a gong, as if he were Trent Reznor in the studio.”

– Thank you to Seismograf for the review.

This past weekend, the audiovisual performance ‘Opløsning’, created by August Rosenbaum and Ea Verdoner, unfolded in the atmospheric surroundings of Cisternerne.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for these sold-out events on Friday and Saturday 🖤

We love the way our Strøm light box looks at dusk. ⚡

Always on the move and adding that spark to new locations.

This is at the entrance of Cisternerne in Søndermarken, Frederiksberg, Friday at dusk.

Yesterday from 17.00 to 20.00, the first round of Opløsning by August Rosenbaum and Ea Verdoner took place underground, down in the former water reservoirs.

Today, Opløsning starts again at 17.

”Kamrene har en stærk tiltrækningskraft, fordi de på en måde ikke vil have, at man er der, og rumklangen, der oftest forbindes med noget smukt, er nærmest ækel her.”

Kom med under jorden og oplev ækel rumklang (og meget andet) den 10. og 11. januar 2025 - til 'Opløsning' af August Rosenbaum og Ea Verdoner i Cisternerne. 🕳

Frederiksbergfonden har talt med komponist August Rosenbaum og kurator Frederik Birket-Smith om et instrument, der forsvinder mellem hænderne på en - og om at hoppe ud på dybt vand som kunstner.

Today, we had this year’s last booking in our studio. 𝐖𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝟏𝟏𝟓 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝟔𝟐 𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐬 (!), so we are thrilled to see that our initiative has been WARMLY received by you all. Lots and lots of new faces!

Thanx to everyone who booked a slot, felt the cosiness of our studio, enjoyed the access to the equipment and left their names and faces on our studio wall.

⚡️Watch this space for news about DJs All Access in 2025.

⚡️DJs All Access is an initiative by Strøm offering free studio time to DJs needing club standard DJ-equipment and a space to record and rehearse.

⚡️A massive thank you to Tuborgfondet whose support makes it possible for Strøm to create a space like this.

During the past months we’ve had the pleasure of having interning at Strøm where he has blessed us with his technical, thoughtful and practical skills. Besides being a great team player and able to work under pressure, he is also a magnificent selector and DJ, so we’re thrilled to have him round off the year with this stylish mix.

HAKEEM’s loose, genre-bending style is a discovery journey into deep soulful sounds across the spectrum. His crate digging loot spawns the forgotten classic, the timeless nugget or that familiar break. Besides DJing, over the past few years HAKEEM has been active in the local Copenhagen scene by taking different roles at Kune Festival, In Situ, and Strøm, as well as Drift Radio and his former collective, Second Nature.

What you see here is pianist and composer August Rosenbaum, underground in Cisternerne, recording the sounds of a slowly disintegrating Görs & Kallmann piano.

The recordings of the dissolving piano will be a core element of ‘Opløsning’:

A three-hour audiovisual performance, taking place in Cisternerne on January 10th and 11th 2025 at 5-8 PM.

(Tickets and more info about ‘Opløsning’ via link in bio.)

“The humidity is an invisible force that works almost like a natural effect processor on the sounds of the piano,” August says.

“The mechanics have become cold and damp. The keys strike, but give a more percussive effect. The piano is turning into an amputated soundbox - which is also beautiful”.

These pics are from the recordings in Cisternerne in October 2024.

During ‘Opløsning’ by August Rosenbaum & visual artist Ea Verdoner, the audience can move about freely in Cisternerne and experience how the familiar musical instrument is transformed into a sonic sculpture in decay, presented through a multi-channel speaker system and staged as an audiovisual performance.

The performance is presented as a collaboration between and Strøm, and is supported by , the Lemvigh-Müller Foundation, , Augustinus Fonden, and

“An electronic tribute to a Danish legend: An evening of sounds and longings”.

That’s the headline of the GAFFA review of the Else Marie Pade anniversary concert that took place at the beginning of this week, on Monday the 2nd of December in DR Koncerthuset.

One of Strøm’s contributions to the evening was finding, retrieving and restoring Else Marie Pade’s old original Lyrec tape recorder - and then ask her son Morten Pade to - live on stage - present and play Pade’s first electronic music piece ‘Syv Cirkler’ (1958).

This was the kickoff of the evening, and the Lyrec handled its return to the spotlight extremely well.

To retrieve the Lyrec, Frederik from Strøm had traveled across most of Denmark (from Nøddebo and Uggerløse to Søborg and Esbjerg) in search of the machine AND the right person to restore it to its former glory (A big thank you from Strøm to Kronborg Electronik!).

Just two days prior to the centennial celebration, the Lyrec was ready, and Frederik picked it up in the trunk of a car at the E47 motorway intersection in Brøndby. (Pic 2: Frederik and the Lyrec - just before the anniversary concert).

The ‘evening of sounds and longings’ continued like this:

Pic 3: The Dybfølt duo joined the Lyrec on stage.

Pic 4: Jazz singer Kira Martini joined the Dybfølt duo

Pic 5: Jakob Kirkegaard took us on a journey into our own hearing by playing twenty minutes of ‘Svævninger’ (his and Pade’s release from 2012)

Pic 6: Jakob Kullberg played ‘A Game for Cello’, accompanied by visuals inspired by video game graphics

Pic 7: Vokalensemblet Vigdis blew everyone away with some of Pade’s choral music

Pic 8: Everyone sang the traditional birthday song (the one with the instruments) – but with tape loops, ring modulators, and tone generators.

Pic 9: What a night. Thank you to everyone who joined.

(Pic 10: And Else Marie Pade watched the entire thing from the wall.)
