“Stardoll” is a really fun virtual doll house, where you can create your doll (boys and girls) and interact with other dolls, socialize, play games, etc.
I invite you to check it up… You will find fun games such as dress Natubella for a gig!
I was interviewed by Fernando and Federico, the creators of a cool new Argentinian blog about electronic music: I-BEAT . They state they are the first ones on develop such a thematic blog about Argentinian electronic music.
You will find articles about everything related to the genre, not only artists! Here is a brief description of how they came up with such idea and what is their work about:
“Ibeat was born when we, Federico and Nando, friends, found out that there was not a magazine or site specialized in Argentinian electronic music.
” – The first idea was to create a kind of digital magazine, with issues like software, hardware, events, interviews and more. Then we realized that it was a difficult job, so we started our work as a blog instead.
” – Our goal is to give information about electronic music from all around the globe, but specially from Argentina.
” – We write an amount of 45 post per month about new hardware and software, releases, events, producers, Djs and live shows.
“The blog was targeted on Spanish readers first, but due to the increasing amount of visitors from all over the world we have just started a new site, which includes most of the posts but this time in English.”
So check the blog out and as I always say, take your own conclusions!
No, my interview is not there yet, but soon it will be! so I’ll let you know

Yes, after working hard the whole year, I will be finally playing live again! This time, I will be doing a mini tour in a wonderful city: London!
I will be playing at Hoxton Lab’s EXS party on the 13th (celebrating Valentine’s day!!!), at EQ Live party (Electroqueer) on the 19th and in Bridge House II on the 21 st.
All of them are free entrance, so you have no excuse, you must come!
but what a great performance our friend did!             We attended a friend’s release party this Friday.
Rigo in action!
The venue? Lilla Hotellbaren / Hotel Scandic Malmen. The artist? The charismatic Rigo (he is best known as one of the two front figures in the Infinite Mass) who was presenting his new soloist album: Bad Man.
The show? A wonderful performance with a great band and a special drummer (Povel Ohlsson! ).
It was fun, entertaining and he left us wanting for more! It was the Hell of a party!
I was walking home, crossing through the galleria heading to the subway.
I know this place like the palm of my hand and to be honest, there is nothing surprising in the shops that are there, so my walk was fast.
But this time, an incense aroma and this exotic soft music, caught my attention. I looked and I saw this little sweet Chinese trying to catch my attention. She was promoting this new shop there and she offered me a free consultation.
I looked inside the shop and I saw a lot of jars full of herbs with weird inscriptions. The music and the lighting all inviting me to go in, so I accepted (not before realizing that they offered acupuncture and massages).
This sweet old and small Chinese dr interviewed me. It was a bit hard, she speaks Chinese mainly, some Swedish and almost no English… I hardly speak Swedish, but I managed to make myself clear about me, my back and my stress!
She invited me to go into a room… she would cure me!
What happened after was kinda bizarre… Me on the torture bed with this woman needling me from top to toe! She placed a heater over my back, warming me a little bit too much! Then I was left alone for a while.
My head soar and pulsating for the pain (one of the needles was hurting me crazy). My lower back felt paralyzed and my neck burning in flames thanks to the heater. I tried to move… to make some noise… something! -someone there??? I’m buuuuuuuurning- but no response.
You know when you are in those situations it’s really hard, because if you speak, you move or even if you think it feels like you shouldn’t, you are there, you accepted the terms and if you say something, it’s not allowed!
Anyway, after some minutes, which seemed to be eternal for me, the heater stopped -thank God it has a timer!- The sweet old lady came in and she ask me: all good??? in her limited english. Well, I started to say… but she didn’t wait for my answer and she removed all the needles fast before I could snooze! -relieeeeeeeeef!-
I was still on the bench, on my stomach, laying there, not knowing what to do or what she was doing… I heard her moving and touching things. She approached me again. I said: Is it finished? She: nonono! And right after I heard she used a lighter -will she set me on fire?- then without letting me ask, she placed something in my back, that suck a piece of my skin! (cupping therapy) -OMG!-
At that point I just left myself go… The cupping was not that dramatic and I actually started to enjoy it… but this little old lady had something else for me, so after 10 minutes she returned and she gave me a HAAAAAARD massage, meanwhile she was asking: Painful? Painful? (I wonder if it was sadism what made her ask!) OF COUUUUUUURSE!!!!
The session ended and I actually was feeling GOOD! So I rebook it for next week
Here are some pictures that will show you what I’ve been through…
My Saturday started late… as you already know I am a creature of the night, therefore my days end really late (or early depending on the point of view) and start close to midday (rock & roll life style, yeah!). We woke up fast, dressed quickly and run to meet another of my friends/producer Lars Nyström. It was his Birthday so we invited him to have lunch with us (Nordic King & me). We had a sleepy wonderful brunch in a lovely place of Stockholm.
After that and referring to the title, Nordic king and me went to the beautiful park Skansen full of Swedish animals and typical old farms.
Beautiful weather, nice scenery and great company! What else would you ask?!
After one hour of nature we run back home in a picturesque rail-car (rail-buss). We arrived right on time to baked some home made pizzas (yeah! I made them! I love cooking) and we got ready for the football game: Denmark vs Sweden (Sweden lost so there are no chances for them to go to the world cup Let’s see how Argentina behaves!).
Friday night, not much plans until I received a msg from my friend/producer Povel Ohlsson inviting me to a gig where he was playing.
The artist he was playing with is Johan Kinde, a Swede singer/songwriter that had his shinny moment in the late 70s’ when he was part and head of a pop band named Lustans Lakejer.
The show was interesting and the audience even better! (but I keep that for myself ). He is presenting his new work, though I can say that he played some “oldies” due to his fan’s reactions.
Everyone had a great time! And Povel, impeccable in the drums as usual.
Here some pictures of that night!
And if you want to hear some of his music, you can go to his myspace here: Johan Kinde
Last night and even though my voice is still affected by the flu, we had an awesome recording session here in Stockholm.
I prepared my voice at home, some vocalization and breathing exercises… and that was enough to get it as perfect as I could! It was a whisky/wasted voice, but sexy as hell! so I decided to take advantage on it and I think it paid off! But you will be the judges.
It was exciting session with my producer and friend Povel Ohlsson (you can see some pictures of me an him here, in an old post). He is great and he certainly knows how to get me in the right mood!
I can’t wait for you to listen to the results, but the production is not completely done… Povel needs to fix it a bit before it’s perfect… But soon I will be posting it
Even though I was technically feeling better, my body refused to get 100% well… I’m afraid to say it loud, but I think I nailed it now and I’m completely restored… I have over slept and my work was reduced to the minimum amount, that was the remedy.
Now, let’s see how things go from now on!
For next week I have studio sessions (yes, recording some vocals and working on some remixes) and I start rehearsing! So I’m back on track! This fall is full of expectation and projects, let’s see how everything turns! I’m excited!
I’ve been away for some days, I know… I have been sick , in bed the whole week! But I can’t complain, I have been taken care of very well
Today I woke up feeling a bit better, but I’m forcing myself to take it easy though, coz I know how I am. My father used to say that I had ants in my butt… I was all the time running here and there, doing stuff, feeling useful! (so imagine a whole week in bed! was like a punishment )
Anyway, this period has not been completely useless… I’ve had a deep chat with my Nordic King and we redefined a lot of things about work and how to continue from here, with all the projects we have, so it was positive (and in a way it helped me to recharge batteries, which I will need for all that has to be done).
Something in advance? Oh, well, videos, the cover of course, versions of some songs, remixes, shows, etcetcetc…
So keep eyes, ears and hearts open, a lot will come soon
