Das Video ging als Sieger des Contests hervor und wird nun als Werbevideo für Freiwild-Energy verwendet.
Die Musik kommt von Psilodump, der uns seinen Song "Hold Me And Burn" Verfügung gestellt hat."

I despise silly titles like The Nya Albumet (The New Album), but the tracks that make up Psilodump’s double CD feel, if not flawless all the way through, at least distinctly uplifting and energetic. Behind the name Psilodump is Simon Rahm, a guy who released his first EP back in 2001. That EP landed on the Swiss label Domizil, which focuses on experimental electronic music. Since then, he has released records on Swedish labels Sound of Habib and Q-Records, but today, it’s the Australian label Demon Tea.

In addition, Rahm has managed to remix both Kraftwerk and Slagsmålsklubben, as well as perform live at raves, clubs, and festivals, both in Sweden and abroad. The Nya Albumet features a mix of all kinds of modern, synth-driven, and often danceable music that grooves a lot but also confuses at times. Sometimes it brings to mind The Prodigy, sometimes it’s breakbeat, other times big beat, occasionally more straightforward techno, and sometimes an experimental but always rhythmic mishmash of God-knows-what, with a bit of video game-inspired flipping thrown into the mix.

What’s particularly enjoyable about this album—besides the sharp genre shifts and the ecstatic, pumping energy that often emerges—is that it’s both danceable and highly listenable at the same time. Music like this can easily become unbearably repetitive and dull, but Psilodump has the ability to keep me focused for most of the journey, and that’s not bad.

8-Bit Operators: psilodump - All You Need Is Love (The Beatles Cover) 

Almost 2 full years in the making, the 8-Bit Operators’ “Wanna Hld Yr Handheld, Vol. 1” Beatles tribute focuses on the glorious avant-garde and electronic side of the Fab 4 with over 20 of the biggest international names in 8-bit chip music, all utilizing the hardware of re-tooled, classic Game Boys, Ataris, Nintendo Entertainment Systems, circuit-bent toys, Commodore 64s and Apple II computers.

“Wanna Hld Yr Handheld” is the follow up to the 2007 debut "8-Bit Operators - The Music of Kraftwerk" available on Astralwerks.

GGGGG

“It’s rare for such a thoroughly worked‐through Swedish double album to appear—definitely not one filled with lovely breakcore, 8‐bit electro, drum ’n’ bass, and any‐other‐genre‐you‐can‐think‐of-techno at breakneck speed. Even the calmer parts vibrate with restrained power.

Then it’s pedal to the metal again. But it never gets nasty or tiresome the way so much breakcore tends to; it’s fun music with a twinkle in its eye. You never need to feel uneasy, even though Simon ‘Psilodump’ Rahm is going 240.”
