THURSDAY 31ST AUGUST @ CARGO KOOP LIVE (COMPOST RECORDS) DJ/HOST GILLES PETERSON DJs KAREN P VJ FAY BUZZARD THURSDAY 31ST AUGUST @ CARGO, 7 - 1AM, FREE B4 9, £8 AFTER COMPLIMENTARY GLENFIDDICH CLASSIC SERVE It´s been four years since we last heard from the Stockholm based duo of Oscar Simonsson and Magnus Zingmark. Their album Waltz for Koop slowly but surely found it´s way into the hearts of more than 160.000 record buyers across the globe. Then followed the world tours, the two sets a night at the Blue Note in Tokyo and hundreds of remixes, until finally last year they found themselves back in Stockholm able to begin work on what was to become Koop Islands. Where Waltz For Koop was steeped in a modern – and modernist - take on 60s jazz and swedish songstressess from the time (Monica Zetterlunds name was mentioned more times than the group thought was fair), Koop Islands has – despite its name - very little to do with romanticising the Stockholm archipelago. Rather, it goes much, much further south west, all the way down the caribbiean for inspiration. That´s where you´ll find Koop Islands on their imaginary world map.
