The new Hug LP ‘Heroes’ is the latest LP from Swedish youngster John Dahlback, who has now released on well over 150 singles and comps. What had you accomplished by the time you were 21?

With 70+ releases, 40+ remixes and 75+ compilation appearances in under four years, Dahlback’s discography runs longer than the credits from Lord Of The Rings. He’s released house on Steve Bug’s Dessous label, he’s had ten releases on his own label Pickadoll, he’s remixed The Knife, yes, well, we would go on but we don’t want to bore you. His latest project is minimal techno as Hug, and he’s already racked up four singles on Kompakt minimal imprint K2, all of which are playful and very functional records.

‘Heroes’ compiles of Dahlback’s K2 previously released cuts (‘Raido’, ‘Birds’, ‘The Platform’, ‘Fluteorgie’) with a bevy of new tracks and it’s out single CD or a double LP early next year.

Mon, 12 Feb 2007meh, i thought that review was quite misleading. it almost encouraged me to not get the album. I did however get the album and I love it. honestly, I can see where they're coming from but that score is unfairly low.

Tue, 30 Jan 2007Great review. To the previous poster I'd say that you're missing the point. Stephane lays out very clearly that the issue here is that there is no purpose to this album. If it was just about releasing a string of singles he'd have reviewed them on their own merits. But an album is different - it's there to be listened to as an album. And if John Dahlback is just gonna pump out 12 tracks in a style we're all terribly familiar with by now, despite it's innate appeal, that is simply... More

Mon, 29 Jan 2007Im appauled. I can't believe this release had such a low score and such a depressing review from your side. There is enough evidence to support, that the reviewing team on this website is biased and uneducated. Eventhough, I enjoy your weekly radio shows and podcasts, sometimes I think you guys woke up on the wrong side of the bed and decided to dish an artist who is genre-defying, innovative and productive, all in one. There is nothing wrong with having John Dalhback releasing as many tracks... More
