Maskinen

About a month ago did I and a friend went to a concert with the swedish hip hop-duo Maskinen. We had no expectations about it and we’ve got the ticets for free so where in a really good mood. It wasn’t that much people so came very close to stage between the biggest fans. After a while the consert starts and we tryed to like it, we really did, but when the biggest fans cried did we laught. It was hard for me to understand howsomeone could scream and cry when the songlyrics only was “You suck! You suck! You suck!” and “Suck my dick!” So yes, we laughted because the situation was pathetic. I use to like hip hop, but i think this really proved that hip hop can be very different and has a lot of genres in the genre hip hop. I mean Maskinen is really good at their thing and so on, but this wasn´t our cup of tea.

But I think it’s good to be at concerts that’s not over the top because then you learn to appreciate the really good ones more. i think that this concert fits better on festivals when it’s much more people and the music doesn’t matter so much, when you just want to dance and have fun. Then i think I could appreciate it more, I mean the lightshow is cool and if it’s much people who’s dancing do i think it can be good a warm summernight and you just want to dance.

So if someone wants go and see maskinen would I recomend to see them at a festival in the summer, then it can be quite nice, maybe.

Rebecca & Fiona – I Love You, Man

Rebecca & Fiona, the new phenomenon. Two DJ’s who has exploded in Sweden and now in other countries all over the world. Three years ago did no one know about them and now does everybody recognize their names. They are fighting for socialism, DJ-ing and now have they released their first Album I Love You, Man. I really like their thing, and this is an album that fits best on the dance floor, but I like to listen even when I’m not dancing around. I don’t think everybody likes to listen to this music outside the clubs but I’m quite sure that almost everyone should enjoy it when they are out dancing in the nights. I believe that it can be a little bit hard to make good dance-music, it always ends with different kinds of remixes, witch can be nice to but you need some variation. That the music is good from the beginning. And if someone can make this kind of music is it Rebecca & Fiona. They know what’s good and what’s good dance-music. What makes this good is that they can make their dj-sets more like a concert when they have their own record, with their own music. I think this record proves that they are very musical if someone should have doubted about it before. With their cheeky attitude do I think they can go very far with this album. I will recommend everybody to go and see this two girls when you have the opportunity they are doing their thing because it’s something extra ordinary. I promise you wont stand between and watch, you will dance. Because they are, they are dancing their asses of!

I love them!
