Hakan Lidbo was recently awarded as one of the 100 best producers of electronic music in the world by Urb Magazine/USA. He is frequently refered to as "the busiest man in the business". His discography holds more than 150 records and stretches from avant garde click n cuts to well produced vocal pop-house. Hakan has made music for commercials, film, TV shows, computer games and a ballet.

A recent single "Planet Dada" by Swiss cult-duo Yello is produced by Hakan Lidbo. Also to his credit are remixes for artists like Kool Kieth, Ashley Beedle, Si Begg, Sophie Ellis Bexter, Tube Jerk, Ennio Morricone, John Selway and Fatboy Slim.

We are extremely happy to have Hakan's third release for our Solarplexus/DanceBEAT project.

This hard, funky Tech House offering is for your listening and dancing pleasure.

Enjoy!
