The band now known as Diskodiktator was formed as FKK Jugend back in 1996 when Johan released a demo tape at Arvikafestivalen – a collection of songs written and recorded in less than a week. Entitled “Music For Porno” the cassette sold some 450 copies (most likely because of Johan being a member of S.P.O.C.K rather than the actual quality of the demo). The name was later changed to Diskodiktator in 1999 and the first debut album was released by the band themselves in 2002. Later on Swedish Energy Rekords took on the band and released the second debut album in December 2004 that got the band nominated as Best Newcomer in the 2005 Scandinavian Alternative Music Awards.
Several more or less official remixes have been done for bands from Swedish space age guru DiLeva to Gwen Stefani and 50 Cent as well as local electro acts as Lowe and Blunda.
It’s been a while since there was a new release from Diskodiktator but fear not – things are happening. In the meantime please have a listen to some very unauthorized remixes on the official Diskodiktator Mixcloud, available by clicking on this link.
Every once in a while there is a short creative outburst and this time it happend to be a slightly remixed version of the 2010 classic “Send Me Someone for Christmas”. We hope you’ll enjoy it and at the same time we would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Back in 2006 this track, “Life in Knots”, was the debut single from Swedish electro pop sensation Quelles Paroles. The original vocal tracks resurfaced in the Diskodiktator studio not long ago and since this homepage demanded an update what better way than to combine the two?
A brand new remix was done and it clearly shows that first class second hand material never goes out of style. Have a listen and perhaps there is even a new “Diskodiktator vs. The World” compilation coming in the near future? Only time will tell…
It’s interesting to see the lack of activity on this homepage – are we really doing that little? The answer is, as usual, yes and no. Except for a couple of brilliant singles from Flux Fin and Quelles Paroles the rate of releases has come to a stand still. Never …
While waiting for the single to appear on the usual places please enjoy it on YouTube: The single is released on March 3 2017 and it contains the title track and a remix by Diskodiktator.
It doesn’t happen every so often but finally Quelles Paroles returns with a new sign of life; the brand new single “Black Suit”. The single contains the title track plus a very extended remix by Diskodiktator. Here’s a link to the single on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/1GB06Ddk8Dnxptxqup7I6H
Diskodiktator continue their epic journey into the abyss of classic Swedish 1990’s albums and this time it happened to become a tribute to the 1995 S.P.O.C.K album “Alien Worlds”. Naturally we think it’s great but we are not alone. The music blog Cold War Night Life has this to say: …
After several months with very little activity the Electric Fantastic Sound label suddenly bursts into hyper active mode in the late spring of 2015: The debut album from PMtoyou has already been announced, there is also a brand new album by Anton Weber coming in late May. As if that …
Our friends over at Release Music Magazine has written a review of the new Diskodiktator album – read it by clicking here! I really like this new version of Diskodiktator, it’s refreshing to hear an album that is this personal and honest. Far too few bands here in Sweden choose …
