To everybody who suggested songs we should play we would like to say THANK YOU!! It helped a lot! People were dancing!

With help from you guys we realized that it is not that hard to get people to dance. On the other hand we learned that we should practice our transitions between songs. We started and killed the dance floor several times during our 2 hour set.

Next time we DJ is November 13 at ISOLA in Copenhagen. The host is Badmintonklubben. Hope to see you there!

Casper & Rasmus

This Saturday Casper and Rasmus will be DJ´ing at the Nordic Blizzard Festival at Tivoli in Utrecht in The Netherlands.

We have been named and programmed as The Efterklang DJ Party! This freaks us a little out. We like to DJ, but not so much when the purpose is to start a party for the masses!

If you have any suggestions to songs that we could play that you know will start a party then please fire away! The criteria are: no techno, no house & no euro-dance. Please leave your suggestions as a comment

And please come to Utrecht on Saturday!! our good friends in Slaraffenland are also playing! And so is Dúne, Men Among Animals and Orka.

Here is more info on the Nordic Blizzard Festival: Spot On Denmark & Last.fm & Nordic Blizzard

It is Friday today, the weekend has almost already started and we are at the last day of The Efterklang Gift Week. As this is the farewell to the Gift Week we have a lot of stuff for you today.

First we present to you a remix of First Floor Power´s God Damn Your Fingers. The remix is made by Casper Clausen from Efterklang and this might be his first official work ever in his own name!
Visit: First Floor Power – Listen to the original version
Download: God Damn Your Fingers – Casper Clausen remix Mp3

Then next we have two videos!
A new video for Doppelgänger from our album Tripper (2004) and a video for Mimeo from our album Parades (2007). The last one has been online for some time but we never presented it properly as it truly deserve. Please enjoy the videos we think they are brilliant both of them.

Hello friend and a very happy Wednesday to you!
It is Day 3 of our Gift Week and today we have something very special for you! It is a new music video for our song Cutting Ice To Snow made by Jeremiah Zagar and Herzliya Films from New York.

Jeremiah is currently riding a wave of acclaim and success for his documentary film In a Dream. The film uses Efterklang music and that is how and why this video developed. The material used in the video is deleted scenes and extra material for the documentary. We really like this video! It is very uplifting and different at the same time. We hope you will like it too!

ENJOY!
You can download it as a high quality quicktime here (44mb)

Redrop was released on our debut mini-album Springer in May 2003. This free MP3 is a cover version made by Josh Childs. We don´t know much about Josh. He emailed us this cover and we like it very very much! Thats basically all we know about Josh.

If Josh reads this then maybe he can comment with some info about himself and his music?

ENJOY!
