I’ve done a remix for the nice Portugese label “Sui Generiz”. Here’s some feedback and a mix from Laurent Garnier, where he plays it. (-:
James Teej ( Rekids/Tic Tac Toe ): really digging the jack rock mix, nice ep !!
Alex Attias (Poker Flat|Compost|Freedom Sound): fabulous tunes!
The Junkies (Cr2|Rawthentic Music): The Jack Rock mix sounds cool !
Stefny (Archipel/Contexterrior): I am really feeling “Reel Dance” it’s deep with it’s funky percussion and supporting it.I also love the vocoder, gives it a sexy sense. I could listen to it forever.
Pheek (Minus|Archipel): Very good EP! Good job by mister Wolfe as well 
Maetrik (MotherShip/Dumbunit): Really like Out of time and the Jack Rock remix!
Sabb (Sk Supreme|YellowTrail|BluFin): jack rock remix is magic !!!

“Jack Rock hat nicht nur einen coolen Namen und kommt aus Dänemark, sondern ist auch dafür bekannt, Konventionen auch mal links liegen zu lassen. Im Falle von “Filter Games” macht sich das so bemerkbar, dass die Bassdrum kaum noch wahrnehmbar und dementsprechend primär erst mal eher ungeeignet für ekstatische Clubnächte zu sein scheint, dennoch kratzt die heftige, jackende Bassline mächtig an den Nerven und drängelt sich mit einer unglaublichen Arroganz direkt in den Mittelpunkt der Nacht. Die Promoinfo meint irgendwas von “Ugly Funk Monster” und genau das ist es auch. Der nicht minder jackende Rune RK Remix auf Seite B fügt dem Ganzen noch eine Prise Dancefloorkompatiblität hinzu, die Bassdrum wird wieder prägnanter und auch das allseits beliebte Glitch-Plugin darf noch mal ran. Auf die zusätzliche Melodie hätte ich persönlich zwar verzichten können, aber zieht den wirklich guten Originaltrack und den ebenfalls sehr gelungenen Remix nicht sonderlich runter. Insgesamt ne sehr feine Platte.”

“Arti Farti gehört zu meinen Lieblingsausnahmelabeln. Und wenn die Filter Games sagen, dann erwarte ich wirklich einiges. Der Track jedenfalls hält zunächst mal nur so halb was er verspricht, wir können uns aber gut vorstellen, dass das Label einfach auf dem Oldschool-Appeal, der immer mit dem Finger auf die Wunde zeigt, hängen geblieben ist. Liebt man den, dann ist das hier eine Erfüllung. Mir gefällt aber der ständig in der Bassdrum gedoppelte Remix von Rune RK um Längen besser, einfach weil der viel mehr Tempo entwickelt, einem die Filter wirklich in fast absurden Weisen durch das Hirn zieht und damit eine so mächtige Ravehymne zaubert, dass man völlig überwältigt ist.”

“Filter Games” has been released on the very cool Danish “Artifarti”-label.
It’s a limited vinyl release with a slamming Rune RK remix on the flip.
I played a live set a while ago at a place called Lobby.It was recorded in a nice quality. Now you can listen to it here:

This saturday - dont’t miss!
Ok, it’s been a while.
I have put up a new track that you can download for free. The track that was up for free has been signed to Canadian label Archipel. So I have removed the old version from the web site.
Two other tracks are going out there as well. This is really exciting for me, since Archipel is one of my all time favourite labels. It’s run by master DJ and producer, Pheek, who has a nice and open mind towards quality music. The label’s content reflects this very well. Go check it out!
Also if you missed the recording of my concert at Voxhall in April, here’s the chance to have a listen anyway.
Apart from taking a nice break a few weeks ago going to Sonar in wonderful Barcelona, I’m pretty busy with university stuff this summer. I’m turning in my final thesis in the middle of august so until then I don’t play music and I don’t even get out much to enjoy the sun. )-:
But on the 16th of august I’m back behind the decks pulling an all night back2back set with Patrick Bateman. This time we’ll be rocking “Kupé”, which is a nice club in Århus.
Hope to see there!

Unfortunately my gig in Aalborg seems to have been canceled.
I was supposed to play at a bar called Kruckow on February 9th, but the people who own the bar have made a sudden change in taste and apparently now they only want “commercial house”.
I didn’t think anybody were still using that term! Oh dear …
Sorry Aalborg. But I’ll come visit some other time!
Yeah! If you’re in the Aalborg area you should definitly come to this party at the top of the poster. Liquid is one of my partners in crime from the OPP / Usual Suspects posse, and he’s the bomb!
Also - of course - attend the party below. I’m looking forward to it A LOT. It’s at saturday, february 9th. This year! (-:

Finally my Formation Flying EP has arrived at its release date!
You can listen to the tracks here:
A Formation Flying 8:38
B Ice Queen 8:27
I’m really happy about this release, and it’s gotten some nice feedback already:
Mr. C (End Recordings):
A: Formation Flying - Good solid grooves, nice bass, cool melodies, rich pads, what more can a DJ ask for? On heavy rotation. 9/10
B: Ice Queen - Celestial accciiieeeeeed. very nice indeed. Early, late, or even last tune of the night. Very nice. On heavy rotation. 9/10
One of TTT strongest releases to date in my humble opinion. In the box.
Marcel Janovsky (Treibstoff / WIR):
Formation Flying is a great track. I enjoyed playing it at our party.
Jussi-Pekka Parikka (Frozen North Syndicate):
Nice stuff.
Reynold (Trenton Records):
I SIMPLY LOVE the new TTT, melodic and emotional, and great production too! Will play FOR SURE.
Jeff Bennet (Kung Fu Dub):
Lovelly modern oldschool organic Detroit! Will def be playing this in the mornings!
Till Von Sein (Trenton, Morris Audio):
It’s superb! I really dig the Formation Flying track.
Pheek (Archipel):
Nice EP. I will play the second track for sure.
The Danish label for top-notch minimal house & techno
Renato Figoli (Claque / Trapez):
I like it so much! Great work!
Freska (KarateKlub / Stil Vor Talent):
Jack has his own sound. He sounds like new Koto. Both sides are charming!
Chymera (NRK / Ovum):
Formation Flying is one of the best tracks I’ve heard in a while.
James Dean Brown (Narcotic Syntax, Perlon / WIR):
Thanks for the tracks, really enjoyed the blend of forward-driving, yet sensible grooves and surprising U-turns, of intelligent rhythmic development and harmonic manoeuvres. Formation Flying is my fave.
Just want to say thanks to everyone who showed up for the TTT night at Luztro in Warsaw, Poland.
What a crazy place. Such a nice atmosphere, and lots of love from the crowd, when I played my live set.
Patrick Bateman, Atle and Matt Vega spun the records for the rest of the night, and what a unit these guys are!!! Weltklasse!
Saturday Oct. 6th - Essens, Århus
- 5 hour dj-set. Essens is a rather small café, but it’s so much fun to play there. The crowd is mad!
Saturday Oct. 13th - Tic Tac Toe night @ Luztro, Warszawa
- Together with Patrick Bateman, DJ Atle and Matt Vega
Friday Oct. 26th - Usual Suspects, Studenterhuset
- Together with the OPP-guys. Das Widell, DJ Liquid, Helmuth Kool, Den Falske Minimal Martin and maybe Mads Palomas… A night of craziness!
Saturday Oct. 27th - Köln
- Back to this wonderful city. Again I’m playing at a Treibstoff/WIR party with Marcel Janovsky and probably a few others.
Saturday Nov. 3rd - Essens w/Patrick Bateman
- B2b dj-set with Patrick Bateman. Did this at Vertigo in Copenhagen back in May, and it worked really well. And it’s the first saturday after payday, so I think this’ll be a good night out in Århus!
My track “Polyfemos” has been released on Cologne-based label Treibstoff.It’s available as vinyl and mp3 (for example on Juno.co.uk or Beatport. There’s a kick-ass Minilogue remix on there as well!
Remember Ridehuset, Århus, this saturday! I’m playing live alongsde Trentemøller, DJ Flip and Rune RK.
Oh, and I just got the Formation Flying remix from this guy: Guy Gerber, a few days ago. It’s MASSIVE! Can’t wait for it to hit the vinyl sometime in late 2007…
It’ll be out on a single sided vinyl on Tic Tac Toe following the release of my own original and a track called “Ice Queen” on 12″ vinyl on Tic Tac Toe which is out in October.
2006 was a great year! I got real busy with the music (less so with keeping the website up to date…), and I got a beautiful daughter in september! I don’t know what 2007 will bring yet, but for now the plans are:
And you can always stay updated on my myspace-site.
On saturday the 12th of August I played a live set at the TR3IBklangSTOFF Festival in Cologne.
It was an amazing party that went on to long past noon on sunday - Berlin style. They say it’s not normal in Cologne. I don’t know. I had a great time!
Also worth mentioning is my track “Calculation”, which is featured on the latest v/a-four tracker “4 In A Row part 2″ on the Copenhagen-based label Tic Tac Toe Records. It’s out on 12″ and mp3 alongside great productions from Brightlight, Bigger Than Jesus and Krystian Shek/Laila Abu-Er-Rub.
Oh yeah, and of course I’m at myspace as well. If you haven’t already checked it out, click here and come be my friend… (-:
This has to be the lousiest blog ever! As soon as I get a little busy, the blogging gets neglected.
Apart from another live gig (hear the music under “sound”), I have a record coming out on the Cologne-based label “WIR”. The release date is the 22nd of May 2006. Go check it out, when it’s there… (-:
My (pretty low-fi) minidisc recording of this saturday’s party at Blender, Århus is now online. Here are some pictures…

This Saturday I’ll be playing a live gig at “Blender”, Århus. Here’s the flyer:
Finally some news to blog about … (-:
On the 22nd of October I’m gonna play a live gig with tons of new material!
Apart from myself the line-up for the night is great. Aarhus-native Rene Kirkegaard is playing. Copenhagen dj Rune RK is playing. And of course the main attraction is TIMEWRITER - a guy who’s made some really amazing records throughout the years!
