Lulu Rouge
I would be remiss in not telling you all about one of my favorite albums of this year. Lulu Rouge‘s Bless You – which reminds me of the days when Massive Attack ruled my discman, and Portishead put me to sleep every night. From the same camp as ever-rising superstar Trentemøller (he was originally a member of the group) the two men in Lulu Rouge have a long list of credits to their name. T.O.M. co-produced the Fagget Fairys’ first single “Uzela” – and is a former Danish DJ champion. Buda has had his fingers in just about every electronic production that’s come out of Denmark in the last 10 years. He was the other man behind that Run Jeremy Bootleg of Aphex Twin’s Windowlicker which turned so so many heads– listing all of their credits would be nearly impossible. Their DJ sets are something to be admired, with only the use of two cd-j’s and mixer, they manage to transform every song they play into something totally unrecognizable and new. I’ve never seen any DJ duo work the knobs better than them.
Lulu Rouge is like an earthquake of subtlety. Both booming and still, simultaneously. Constant build, and constant release. You don’t know where the peaks end and the valleys begin.

Their album is perfect for your headphones, or for post sex listening at home. The two Remix EPs feature remixes from the likes of Trentemøller himself, Pilooski, Mike Sheridan, Minilogue, Jens Fokking, and more…

“Bless You” is a fantastic album and in my opinion the songs are even better live. Their concert at Roskilde Festival this summer was amazing!
Also look out for another upcoming Danish talent, Mike Sheridan. He is only 17 years old but his debut album, called “I Syv Sind” (in Danish), is really cool. Check it out!
