Erlend Oye has long been on my radar since he released a stellar addition to the DJ Kicks series back in April 2004. Although there seems to be two musical sides to this sonic phenom (Kings of Convenience vs DJ/Remix/Producer) it is definitely the latter of the two musical identities that I have an affinity towards. His melancholy lyrics and haunting voice, coupled with danceable beats, ideally play as a soundtrack to my existence. His work is the premiere installment in Tune in Tokyo; an area where i share tracks that move my mood (if not also my feet).
ps: Please, please, please check out his a capella cover of "There is a Light that Never goes Out" by The Smiths. Remixed with Royksopp's "Poor Leno". Epic.
