  • 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. ’Heroes’ by Hug tracklist 01. Radio 02. Tiny Stars 03. Fluteorgie 04. Tactic Without Practice 05. Sub 06. The Platform 07. Room of Rum 08. Heroes 09. My Dinosaur 10. Birds 11. Tons of None 12.
