dadahack is the new cross-continent dance-electronica outfit. The name dadahack may be new to you but the duo behind the act are by no means in-experienced – the UK’s James Banbury and Swedish based producer, Pete Davis have production credits including Blackbox Recorder, Gwen Stefani, Wiley, Talvin Singh and Bloc Party.

The first material they are teasing out is a taste-maker EP called “Hellos”. A heady mix of house, nu-disco, electro and sleaze. The original track ‘Hello Dust’ features the new fashioned vocals of Hannah Robinson, which gets a remix treatment from the prolific Swedish producer, Håkan Libo.

Also on the package are three more laternate takes. A sensational 11-minute gritty electro workout from Freelance Hellraiser that never tires the ears (my personal favourite). Something a bit edgier from dadahack themselves – weapon of choice for Faithless DJ, Sister Bliss – and a relaxing skippy trip alternative version from Tranquility Bass.

We got an very exclusive Dadahacked Discobelle Edit of “Hello/Hello Dust” and the remix från Håkan Lidbo to share with you.

Second remix of the latest single “When I Grow Up” from Fever Ray, this one by Swedish experimental electronic producer Håkan Lidbo is nothing at all like the previous tantalizing remix done by Studios very own Dan Lissvik. On this remix, Håkan twists, chops and cut ups the track and in the process pretty much turns into a full blown dance track.

Swedish minimal techno/italo heroes in Boeoes Kaelstigen just did a remix of Swedish electropop queen Firefox AK’s latest single “Once I Was Like You”. The “Boeoes Kaelstigen’s Erwise Remix” spots 707 cowbells, reverb drenched 303 lines and cut up vocals – a perfect combo for warm summer nights.

The boys also remixed the “Ström Theme” from national Swedish Radio show Ström which features all things electronic and is hosted by Andreas Tilliander along with Håkan Lidbo. The remix is a melodic melancholic take on the Ström theme song, in true Boeoes Kaelstigen-esque fashion with 12bit-gritty congas providing the melody.
