KASPER BJØRKE BIOGRAPHY 2009
Danish Kasper comes from the heart of the thriving Copenhagen electronic scene.
After a decade as a busy producer and DJ, 33 year old Kasper Bjørke has released his music on labels like Plant Music, Fine, Thugfucker and V2 Records and in addition received a Danish Music Award as Best Producer, for the well known project Filur, which he still runs with his old friend, Tomas Barfod (Tartelet / Gomma / Get Physical).
Kaspers solo productions are now taking two directions. The analogue slow mutant disco angle is covered by Kasper Bjørke, while his techno and minimal/house releases are being unleashed as “Kasper Bjørke & His Friendly Ghost”, serving him the opportunity to appear in two different contexts – as diversity has always been the main focus, which also shines through in his approach both as a DJ, his productions - and his remixes.
This summer Kasper is releasing his first 12” EP in the Friendly Ghost outfit, on the brand new We Love This label imprint, incl remixes by Catz & Dogz & Pol_On.
Releasedate: August 2009.
Kaspers remix roster is as long as it is wide spanding: From Trentemøller (Poker Flat), WhoMadeWho (Gomma), Visti & Meyland (Eskimo), The Ting Tings and Lulu Rouge to Familjen, FM Belfast and many more.
His first solo album In Gumbo (released on NYC based Plant Music in the fall of 2007), contains a melancholic voyage into cinematic sound scapes, while never losing the edge and nerve of the nightclub. The second single “Doesn’t Matter” was remixed by such renowned names as fellow Danish friend Trentemøller, as well as The Juan Maclean (DFA). The feedback on the album was beyond positive upon its release, and In Gumbo got a lot of attention from renowned magazines like BPM (US), Lodown (GER) and Vice (UK), the latter stating “Cinematic, immersive synth disco that sounds like a million dollars... could be this seasons House Of Jealous Lovers, for the new italo youth…..”
Kasper has just finished working on his second album, and it is set for an early 2010 release on the new HFN Music imprint – which so far only has released the 1st installment in their compilation series “Harbour Boat Trips” – First issue is compiled and mixed by Trentemøller.

Before the album will be out, the first single “Young Again” featuring the Danish indie singer Jacob Bellens, will be released in October including a stellar remix package by Lopazz, WhoMadeWho and Serge Santiago. It is accompanied by a beautiful music video – and followed by 2nd single later this year.
