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

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