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.

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.
