Darling

Release date: 2024-11-29.

Diskodiktator returns with a unique single that blends the past and the present: “Darling.”

The story behind this track is as intriguing as the melodies it holds. During the recording sessions for “The World According to Diskodiktator” in 2004, vocal tracks featuring Ellen Lundgren were captured but for various reasons the song was never officially released. When these recordings were recently rediscovered the idea emerged to create something new — a completely reimagined version centered around Ellen’s expressive voice.

With lyrics like “She wears a cotton blouse / She looks like Mickey Mouse / And when she smiles at me / There’s no one else I’d rather be” the lovesong “Darling” captures the naive yet sincere romanticism that Diskodiktator is known for. The song conveys a light-hearted playfulness while carrying a deeper longing, reminiscent of the band’s early years.

Musically, the band has taken a step back to its roots, but the new retro sound gives “Darling” a modern feel that is as timeless as Ellen’s voice. The result is a single that feels like a love letter to their history and a new beginning all at once.

Ninjaspark is back – releasing the single “Hennes laserljusögon” and celebrating with a show in Malmö!

Ninjaspark’s vibrant history is hard to ignore – from being roasted by Swedish music mogul Bert Karlsson on the TV show Talang, to becoming one of Sweden’s most beloved cult bands in the bitpop scene.

Jag river ditt namn

Release date: 2024-12-31.

Get ready to end the year with a musical explosion as Diskodiktator releases their new single “Jag river ditt namn” (“I tear your name”) on New Year’s Eve 2024. This release not only marks a powerful return to the scene but also opens the door to an exciting 2025 with more releases on the way. Diskodiktator has big plans for the upcoming year so stay tuned — this is just the beginning!

The title track, “Jag river ditt namn”, is a perfect blend of modern and retro synth, inspired by the precise harmonies of Kraftwerk and Lloyd Cole’s bittersweet take on tattoos. It’s a track that combines pulsating beats with poetic introspection, where every note captures the feeling of memories that leave their mark on the soul.

The single also features a unique rendition of Tekla’s classic track “En liten svensk stad” (“A small Swedish Town”). Diskodiktator breathes new life into Tekla’s nostalgic portrayal of the Swedish small-town experience, wrapping it in an electrified sound that both honors the original and adds a fresh new energy. It’s a loving nod to the musical heritage of Skåne, reimagined with Diskodiktator’s signature touch.
