Mojib (Mojib Remix)



We first featured Gothenburg, Sweden's Staffan Ulmert (aka Mojib) more than a year ago, and it's a testament to his mixology that debut LP Whimsical Lifestyle hasn't worn out its welcome on any playlists since. Sure, there's great material to work with - Kings of Convenience, Stone Roses, Go! Team, M83, Tribe Called Quest, Sigur Ros, Apples in Stereo, Thom Yorke and tastes of RJD2/DJ Shadow - but don't fault him for having good taste.








Radiohead - Videotape (Mojib Rmx)

Now Mo's offering a free two-part remix of Whimsical Lifestyle titled Whimsical Mixtape, which comes highly recommended, and not only because it's free. Just going to read this aloud:

"It's a mixtape that knows no boundaries as it remixes, mashes (ed: not in a 'Girl Talk' way) and reconstructs tracks from the LP while adding artists that inspired the album. The first part features a fast tempo and an upbeat style as underground and well-known commercial artists blend together. The second part leads the listener on a darker journey, following the footsteps of past projects such as 'Requeim' with Martin Erlandsson."

Don't sleep on this - download both mixes here.

A Must For Sigur Ros/Kings Of Convenience/Tang Fans
























Nothing better than getting great music in the mail. The debut album from Gothenburg, Sweden's Mojib features an array of complex pop melodies, intricate drum patterns, bittersweet piano keys, acoustic guitars and electronic synths. Yeah synths - the nasty guitar solo of our generation!

Mojib (aka Staffan Ulmert) offers original takes on "If Only" from Kings of Convenience and "Starálfur" by Sigur Rós; adding enough of his own instrumentation to create something new and tasty for your extended weekend relaxation:

Kings of Convenience - I Don't Know What...(Mojib remix)
Mojib - Break of Dawn (unmastered)














You may remember Starálfur from the final aqua-confrontation in The Life Aquatic when Zissou's team rolls deep into the ocean's black underbelly to encounter the freaky Klaxonfish that ate his homey. We teared up a bit when they didn't get eaten also.

Sigur Rós - Starálfur

Network socially with Mojib on his MySpace or pre-order Whimsical Lifestyle.

And a random promo plug, we created this quick 60 commercial for Tang, the world's leading powdered beverage (we're trying to get them on as a corporate sponsor). Pitched this along with an online campaign called The Second Tang Dynasty but, mysteriously, have yet to hear back so cross your fingers!
