Next up in our series of !K7 Flavour mixes comes courtesy of self proclaimed, King of Convenience and Whitest Boy Alive, Erlend Oye. This mix from back in 2004 was put together to accompany the DJ Kicks Erlend produced at the time, a mix which continues to be played in my office and home to this day. It’s one of the best they’ve done.
Over and above touring as a DJ and with his electronic solo material in the past six years and providing vocals to an astonishing array of acts from Royksopp and James Figurine to Phonique and Jolly Music, Norway’s Erlend Oye is also a mainstay of indie-folk troubadour duo Kings of Convenience and the brains behind indie-electronic disco project The Whitest Boy Alive. Both of these acts have released incredibly good LPs in 2009 and I felt it was time to dig this mix out of the !K7 vaults with thanks to our friends at the label. Here you are! Enjoy.
