简介
Along with artists like Prins Thomas, Todd Terje and Lindstrom, diskJokke is a central figure in Norway's disco scene. He first made a splash in 2007 with Staying In, a debut album that earned praise from Spin, Filter and Pitchfork Media, and continued to gain popularity with remixes for Bloc Party, Charlotte Gainsbourg and more recently The xx. The new record, whose title translates to "a happy time," grew out of a very significant turning point in Dyrdahl's life: he became a father and decided to do music full time, setting aside his career in mathematics to focus completely on family life and the studio. Like much of his work so far, En Fin Tid boasts the sunny, prog disco vibe for which Dyrdahl and his cohorts are known. The album draws inspiration from Brian Eno, Arthur Russell and the Alan Parsons Project, as well as krautrock artists like Tangerine Dream and Holger Czukay of Can.
