This is the third full-length release from John Dahlbäck. Starting at the tender age of 16, this prolific producer and label owner has placed himself into international electronic music's top league. With more releases out than Bud Spencer had fist fights or Hugh Hefner had bunnies, John has grown into a mature musician over the years. Winners & Fools is definitely his most sophisticated work to date and a step forward. After mainly producing dance tracks in the last years, John is now putting all his effort into detailed and deep musical work. Winners & Fools is a well-balanced journey through multiple electronic music worlds -- insane club weapons stand proudly next to beautiful vocal tunes and big room anthems in the vain of Alan Braxe or Daft Punk -- and it is certain to draw a whole new bunch of listeners to his music. Other Swedish producers like Eric Prydz, Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosse may have paved the way to pop, but John Dahlbäck has entered a totally new building filled with glistening synths, sharp, snappy beats, and robots in skinny ties.

John Dahlbäck's Years Behind is a rather synthetic and atmospheric piece of pop dancefloor extravaganza, perfectly constructed for early morning pleasure on Balearic islands -- a morphing arpeggio, old school flavored synthies and a truly hypnotic arrangement. The flipside works with the same ingredients but on a darker ground and with a bigger bass-drum for peak-time action. Neo-electro Balearic trance with a dose of electric soul. Big release!

"I Slide (Flatfoot Mix)" is just another slamming electro-flavored monster tune with a rather UK-garage styled bassline, cool vocals and fierce house drumming -- put together in a stunning arrangement. The original mix starts off less offensive but then turns into a gigantic rave anthem! JD doesn't take any prisoners with the last cut "Track For Adults" -- cut-up staccato bass mayhem with sexy female vocals one top.

This is Pickadoll's first CD compilation, featuring some of its best vinyl tracks on CD for the first time, mixed by the man and label-owner himself, John Dahlbäck. Dahlbäck is a phenomenon in today's electronic dance music scene -- an unstoppable maniac with more output than anybody else. And he simply doesn't care. Pickadoll is his label for super-functional and insane electro house productions and the 14 tracks on this mix give a detailed view of the label's artists. Pickadoll's includes the shiny electro-house of Sébastien Léger, the squelchy synth of Zoo Brazil, Mark & John's heavy-stomper, Özgür Can's groovy shapes and most dominantly -- guess who? John Dahlbäck -- who manages to capture the vibe and sound of the label very well from grooving house productions to pure and disharmonic rave sickness. It's the perfect package to bring this raw energy club sound into the homes of all the non-vinyl techno heads.

For the 20th release on his own label Pickadoll, John Dahlbäck picked two huge dancefloor monsters. "Blink" starts off as a classic techno tune with unique acid bass, straightforward drums and crazy vocal workouts, developing into a strong builder with massive efx action and killer breaks. "Sting" slightly reminds of a very famous track from Mr. Benny Benassi: hysteric synths, a pumping rhythm section and a bassline made of steel. Any questions?

This is the second full-length release from Sweden's No. 1 country boy and techno machine, John Dahlbäck. This prolific producer and label owner has proven that it is possible to release three records a week, without totally damaging his profile. At The Gun Show shows that the main focus of Dahlbäck's music is the dancefloor and the titles on this LP are no exception. Fourteen club monsters of fresh and exciting electro with a strong house and techno influence, also featuring vocals by Swedish chanteuse, Yota on the first track. The essence that is keeping his style so fresh definitely is his unique ability to combine various layers of melodies and bass lines and arrange them into perfect and innovative dance tune blue prints. At The Gun Show perfectly sums up all of his 12"s for Pickadoll -- the melodic and slightly dark "synthie" touch, the slamming drums and the pumping and harsh basses. This will wreak havoc in international clubsylvania!

"Mr. Unstoppable goes from strength to strength. Brilliant production skills and massive bass lines with the smooth vocals of Yota make this a special track. The remixes come from Zoo Brazil, who transport the electro house madness into a more classic house structure, and US' craziest electro warrior, Robby Rivera. He delivers a truly tripped-out acid groover."

SYST 021EP
|
Sweden's no.1 son John Dahlbäck gained some stunning feedback when he released his Man from the Fall album in 2005, and now it's about time to present some big remixes. Sebo K. delivers a stripped-down and sneaky version of "Ooh oh i e," and house meets neotrance meets Detroit oldschool! Second is Italian electro Peacefrog artist and Italo disco king Marco Passarani, who brings up some typical cow bell acid disco action, which fits perfectly with Systematic stuff! Herbert Boese has been a big player in the Düsseldorf underground scene for ages and he tunes in to some jacking elements, no joke, body mover!

SYST 002CD

Stockholm Kid Wonder and super busy producer John Dahlbäck has graced the techno world with countless 12"s over the last few years on labels like Turbo, Dessous, Morris Audio, Brique Rouge and, of course, on his own labels Dahlbäck Recordings, Pickadoll and Jackmoves. He also has a strong connection with Marc Romboy's quality imprint Systematic, where he dropped two of his best 12"s and two super dope remixes! As his production style and quality evolved throughout the years, JD is now ready to present his first artist album ever at the innocent age of 19. Man from the Fall contains no less than 15 tracks, all precisely set around the genres of techno, electro and deephouse -- but this is not just another random mixed bag. This is a carefully arranged and gloriously fitting album, which perfectly displays the various moods and styles John is able to generate; starting from calmer and more melodic tunes over super functional electro house corkers to siren-soaked rave anthems. All four to the floor, all in the well- established John Dahlbäck style. Dahlbäck is one of the most promising young artists to come around in a long time.
