Thank You Gothenburg!

11/11/2013

Yes!, we had a great time at Valand Nightclub in Gothenburg the 1th of November.

Our friends in Guilt Trip joined us this evening, they entered the stage first. They delivered an energetic show, the small crowd was cheering. GT delivered a really nice show, so we had something to live up to as we entered the stage.

We played a set with 9 songs, and we ended the show as almost always with the song, Ifred.
The crowd gave us alot of credit for our gig, a big thank you to you all.

As you can see on the picture above, we had the organizers son in front of stage, dancing and kicking ass, truly great.

A big thank you to the crowd who showed up, Guilt Trip for a really nice show and of course to the organizers, Electronic Sound Sweden

And yes we are up for more shows etc!

Batch ID on swedens biggest student radiochannel

2/21/2013

Yes, time for radio again for Batch ID. Maybe you all remember that we talked about the release of the book, Den Svenska Synthen written by Bengt Rahm last fall.
The book is the real bible when it comes to the electro scene in Sweden over the last 30 years.

Bengt were a guest at Radio AF this week and they played some classic music in our genre. Radio AF is Swedens biggest student radio channel and the next biggest in Europe.

We are very honoured to see that our band is in this context with classic bands such as Cat Rapes Dog, Tredje Mannen, Page and Ratata amongst others. A big thank you to Bengt Rahm for his work with the book and for bringing our music to the spotlight.

Johan VS Dark Phenomenon

10/8/2012

I was contacted by a russsian gentleman on Facebook a couple of months ago. He represented a new, young synh pop band called Dark Phenomenon from russia. He wondered if I were interested in doing a remix for the band. I checked out some of their songs and really liked the melody of one of the songs called Testament.

I saw two possible ways for the remix; one was to pick up on the house piano and do a old school, chicago house mix and the other was to pick up on the New Order vibe of the guitar melody. I choose the latter and I am very pleased with the result.

Once finished with the remix I tried to get back to the russian gentleman who sent me the request, but he seemed to absent from Facebook and didnt answer my messages .After a couple of weeks of waiting I tracked down the band directly and managed to get in contact with them.

They liked my mix and I am very thankful that my work will come to use. Check out Dark Phenomenon if you are into melancholy synth pop in the vein of Pet Shop Boys and DM.

Batch ID is back in the studio

3/14/2010

Batch ID is back working on new material in the studio. The process this time around is a bit diffrent since the band tries to work with physical syntheziesers insted of programming the music on the computer. Pograms like Reason will still be a part of the process, but will not play such a central role anymore.

It's alot of jamming and experimenting in the studio wich has produced a couple pf really interesting sketches for new songs.

The band is also working on some remixes. Both on own material and others. The song Godlike button Part II is a result of this labour, and you can download it for free in the Media section.

Christmas gift

12/16/2009

Last year Batch ID started a tradition by releasing a song for free download that were a bit diffrent to our normal stuff. Last year we did a cover of an old swedish punk song "Chartertönt" and sang in swedish for the first time.

This years odd christmas song is an original track called Was ist das with german lyrics... (I'm trying to sing in a language I don't in any way normally speak or master.)

We have also been experimenting with the sounds and recording on this track. All is played with real instruments including a MS-10, DX7, MR10 a steel barrel, jar filled with rice and an aluminum tray.

Hope you will enjoy this odd tasting little treat.

Merry X-mas

Inside the studio

12/11/2009

Batch ID is back in the studio trying to get one more song out in 2009.

We are playing around and experimenting alot on this track. No computer programming or use of Reason. Everything is recorded live using drum-machines, synths and metallic objekts. Very fun for us and hopefully the result will be enjoyable for you guys.

Erik is tweaking the MS-10.
