Dan Lissvik shares 'N' and announces new album

Swedish writer and producer Dan Lissvik has released music under names like Studio (together with Rasmus Hägg), Atelje and D. Lissvik. Now he shares 'N' as - simply - Dan Lissvik. He also announces the album titled 'Midnight' to be released on June 10th. The title refers to the fact that his recording sessions started at midnight after his wife and newborn went to bed.

Dan Lissvik Bio: 

"Ten years ago Dan Lissvik was instrumental in kicking off the mid-noughties Balearic revival alongside his partner in the group Studio, Rasmus Hägg. Both came from the frozen coast of Sweden (rather than Ibiza) and their debut 'West Coast' was hailed as one of 2006's best releases, making Rough Trade's Top 10 albums of the year. Their sound was a blissful, effortless, laidback afrobeat-krautdisco-pop and won a ledion of fans. Though 'West Coast' made Studio internationally acclaimed (they even remixed Kylie Minogue's '2 hearts') that was the only record the ever made. Dan showed little interest in pursing an international DJ career or tourin as 'band' - preferring to stay in Gothenburg and record. Then, in 2012, 6 years after 'West Coast' was released Studio officially broke up with a quick note. For Studio-addicts, Dan hinted a tantalizing stock-pile of new material - at one point posting 50 tracks on Soundcloud before taking them down. then in 2014, he was ready to start releasiing new material with the limited-edition 300 release run of the Atelje LP 'Meditations'. Now 'Midnight' is released 10 years afterwards 'West Coast', as the influence of Studio's work reverberates up through a new generation of producers (Jamie XX sampled a beach-blissed loop from it for 'Girl')"
