ANNELI ON UK COMPILATION
- WITH EXCLUSIVE TRACK

Norway has been described as the new France when talking about electronic music. And now the UK has opened their ears for electronic tunes from the north. Anneli Drecker is one of 12 artists presented on the compilation Scando Nova that was released in the UK this week.

SCANDINAVIAN ELECTRONICA: A remix of Anneli's Sexy Love is now available in the UK on the compilation Scando Nova.
The Norwegian electronica scene have probably never been more popular, at least it's not underground anymore. Norwegian electronica is being heavily aired on the radio and having releases in the top of the sales charts.

The Scando Nova compilation is released by Fuego and includes no less than six tracks by Norwegian artists and remixers, like Ephemera, Ralph Meyerz, Doc L. Junior, Malin, Röyksopp, Erot and Bjørn Torske. Anneli contributes with the track "Sexy Love" remixed by Röyksopp, a mix that previously has only been available on promotional releases. Bjørn Torske has also compiled the album together with Swede Zak Frost.

Bjorn Torske is one of the original pioneers of the Norwegian electronic scene. Based in Bergen, he has won fans from all over the world with his innovative productions on labels such as Djax-Up Beats, Svek and Ferox. Most recently it is his work for Bergen's Tellé Records that has brought him huge press acclaim, with his new album Trøbbel and remixes for acts such as Röyksopp, whom he shares a studio with.

Zak Frost knows a thing or two about Scandinavia - as well as DJing regularly all through the region, he is half Swedish, has a Norwegian girlfriend, and runs a club in Denmark. He is the organizer and resident DJ of deepblueDK, one of the most successful club nights in Scandinavia, held at Rust in Copenhagen. He is also a producer for (amongst others) Afro Art Records, and performs as a DJ worldwide as well as hosting various radio shows including Ministry of Sound.
