For AIRPOD’s 20th episode, we are honoured to welcome the live recording of an artist we hold dear in our hearts: Mikael Stavöstrand. This was recorded in San Francisco in December 2008 at the occasion of the second installment of Auralism Records’ brand new monthly – Aural Therapy – happening every 3rd Friday at the newly refurbished Paradise Lounge.
For those of you who weren’t at our party at The Bunker on the 12th of December, with the performances of Soul Clap and Mikael himself – we are also very excited to announce the coming of Soul Clap’s new record “Puppy Crack”. The record features an incredible remix by Mikael Stavöstrand that you can preview right here – close to the beginning of this podcast episode.
More details about the record coming soon but we can already tell you that “Puppy Crack” is a potent dance drug and should immediately be banned to avoid further brain damage. Dripping into your drainage like some highly potent acid, the original version of the track breaks down into the wonkiest mayhem that clubbers’ ears have heard in a long time!
You will have to call in the ambulance and hope the doctor saving you when you overdose is Mikael Stavöstrand: he is just such a fine balancer and knows how to dose right: “Puppy Crack” becomes a deep entrancing affair with squelching noises and hypnotic synths that underline squeaking and clicking effects. Slowly the whole affair culminates in an evil addiction you did not even notice you developed!
