CK 37

Hello weeekend and hello Saturday. 

First up today is a track released a while back but better late than never. 

Let us enjoy some Body Music, Bodypop, EBM from CK 37 

CK 37 - A REVOLUTION BEYOND TIME AND SPACE 

In a time where the boundary between the digital and the human is slowly fading, a band emerged whose music acts as a bridge between the worlds - CK 37. This metaphysical coalition was born in a secret bunker located somewhere in Sweden. There, not only were there analog synthesizers and other artifacts from bygone eras, but also an abandoned research project focused on exploring the hidden frequencies of human emotions. 

The three members were drawn to each other by a shared vision: to create a fusion of human, machine, and panda, and to influence the global energy balance through music. Their first single, Gymsadist, it's a portrayal of how technology and emotions can meet in an unexpected way, where the raw energy of gym culture encounters the suppressed dark side of our digital society.

COLD CONNECTION

Happy Friday to you all, how about a brand new release from one of Helsingborgs biggest synthband the last years in Cold Connection. 

Cold Connection or Pontus and Daniel is a Swedish synthpop act who creates music with a blend of atmospheric, bouncy and melancholic sound. 

Today the new single "VOICE OF THE NIGHT" was released and with that also a new video.

Pressrelease: 

"Voices of the night might be familiar to some. If you've listened to our debut album Seconds Of Solitude from 2021, there is an instrumental song there called 'Heatwave'. 

Ever since then we've wanted to do something entirely different and fun with it. So - we added some lyrics and vocals and altered the music but kept the essential baseline and Pontus' whispers. 

This is a very athmospheric song filled with all the sounds and blips we love and we are very proud of it." - Daniel and Pontus 

This track has also been used as the intro at Cold Connection’s live concerts during the last year. Now, it is finally out for the masses. 

The single release is also accomplished with an 80’s inspired synthwave video.

PAUL REIN

Weekend is getting closer and its time for a update from this weeks releases. 

One of last years big moments for me and the rest of Electric Cafe was when Den Harrow, Linda Jo Rizzo and Paul Rein with many more visited Helsingborg on Beatbox 2023 

Today I give you the icon Paul Rein´s new single, out today on all the digital stores. 

Pressrelease: 

PAUL REIN RETURNS TO THE RETRO DANCE FLOOR WITH "DIFFERENT" 

Pbhmedia proudly presents the new single from Swedish 80s icon and ASCAP/Latin Grammy awarded artist, producer and songwriter Paul Rein. Paul Rein conquered both the charts and the young girls' hearts with his long blonde hair and hits like "Lady O" and "Stop (Give It Up)" during the mid 1980s. "Lady O" was also featured in "Max Mix 4", a landmark for a Swedish artist back in the days.  These days he's considered a "Hi-Nrg Icon" in Mexico, where his 1985 single "Hold Back Your Love" is a frequent favorite at various hi-nrg parties. In 2020 he also made a comeback into the retro club scene with his cover version of Hubert KaH and Michael Cretu's "Angel 07". The song "Different" was written by Norell-Oson-Bard and originally recorded by Swedish band Secret Service in the 1980s, but not released until 2009. 

This new version, produced and performed by Paul Rein is also a part of the pbhmedia tribute to late songwriter Tim Norell. The album "Night City Tribute Vol.2 - In Memory of Tim Norell" is planned for release in a near future. * * * THE TIM NORELL TRIBUTE 

On Dec 16, 2023, Tim Norell passed away. One of Sweden's most significant hitmakers - and one of the most secret!  In 2018 pbhmedia released Night City Tribute - The Songs of Secret Service a 23 track (!) cover tribute to one of my all-time favorite bands, Secret Service. Early 80s hits Oh Susie and Flash In The Night are their most well-known songs, but the band is still active and the latest album Secret Mission was released late 2022.  

More info: www.timnorell.com 

Now it's time for the continuation of that tribute, this time focusing on the extensive back catalogue of Tim Norell, featuring not only songs recorded by Secret Service, but also many other Swedish artists, like Lili & Susie, Jerry Williams and Army Of Lovers. 

Night City Tribute Vol.2 - In Memory of Tim Norell so far:

- Retroteque - We Were Only Dancing 

- Cliff Wedge - Say Say 

- NeverMann - It Started With a Love Affair 

- Linda Jo Rizzo & Milo Blue - You're The One 

- Danne Machmar - Kissing in the Moonlight
