Montée — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 15:26:44 +0000

A small message from us to you. Montée has had a fantastic year, and want to thank everyone we met, everyone that bought our music, came to our concerts, worked with us (Øyvind Basmo, Knut Sannes, Einar Norberg, Per Marius Larsen ++) and said good things about us. We will return in 2012 with alot [...]

Montée X-mas calendar #24 – Sly & The Family Stone: “Family Affair”

Montée — Sat, 24 Dec 2011 15:12:07 +0000

Number 24! Merry christmas to you all! The day has arrived! Atleast in Norway, we all celebrate X-mas tonight, and in these times nothing is more important than friends and family – as well as gifts, food and some heavy drinking. We end this years christmas calendar with one of the finest reminders about family, [...]

Montée X-mas calendar #23 – Todd Rundgren: “Love Of The Common Man”

Montée — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 14:18:47 +0000

Number twentythree. What can you say about Todd Rundgren? Genius, wizard, a true star, a crazy fucker who has done everything from making brilliant popsongs to hardrock you wish you never heard. But Todd is one of the most original artists out there, and in February he is coming to Oslo to perform an acoustic [...]

Montée X-mas calendar #22 – Patti Jo: “Make Me Believe In You (Tom Moulton Remix)”

Montée — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 14:13:05 +0000

Number twentytwo. A golden tune from the vaults of Tom Moulton – famed for his invention of both the remix and the 12” single. Not alot has been written by Patti Jo Demps – all we know is that she was around 30 years old when she recorded this cover of a Curtis Mayfield-track in [...]

Montée X-mas calendar #21 – Morgan Geist: “Ruthless City”

Montée — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 14:52:11 +0000

Number twentyone. Morgan Geist is a Brooklyn-based artist that makes interesting dance music for late, druggy nights. He is also a part of the influential duo Metro Area. The record “Double Night Time” comes warmly recommended, and on that slab of plastic you find this track – “Ruthless City”. Filed under: Check this out!

Montée X-mas calendar #20 – MFSB: “Mysteries Of The World”

Montée — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 02:43:48 +0000

Number twenty: MFSB was a Philly-based collective with more than 30 studio-musicians that did work for a lot of producers, including mentors Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff. They released a handful of records along the way, and tracks like “Love Is The Message” is widely known as a Paradise Garage disco classic. This one – [...]

Montée X-mas calendar #19 – Jessica 6: “Prisoner Of Love (Feat. Antony Hegarty)”

Montée — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 13:33:21 +0000

Number nineteen. This song is circling in our minds, because we are working on a remix of this beautiful new music from New York City. Jessica 6’s singer is called Nomi Ruiz, and here she shares the mic with none other than disco-lover Anthony Hegarty of Antony & The Johnsons. Our remix should be done [...]

Montée X-mas calendar #18 – Arve Henriksen: “Opening Image”

Montée — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 13:04:47 +0000

Number eighteen. We know – everybody is stressed out by Christmas, shopping crap gifts and partying non-stop. So here is a song by Norwegian trumpeter (and sometimes singer) Arve Henriksen from his album “Chiaroscuro“ from 2004, to provide some food for your soul. Filed under: Check this out!

Montée X-mas calendar #17 – Change: “Hard Times (It’s Gonna Be Alright)”

Montée — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 12:39:22 +0000

Number seventeen. Ok, back to funk. Change was a great Italian-American post-discogroup that made some pretty hi-tech dancemusic in the early 80s. The album “Sharing Your Love” was released in 1982, and consists of some minimalistic bass- and drum-driven stuff that’s to kill for. Like this one… Filed under: Check this out!
