Europa Europa and The Knife -- För alla namn vi inte får använda

"För alla namn vi inte får använda" a single from Europa Europa -- an antinational cabaret about migration politics by the art group Ful with music by The Knife. Why do we build walls against heroes? With the cabaret Europa Europa and the song and music video "För alla namn vi inte får använda" by Europa Europa and The Knife we want to praise all those hundreds of thousands of people who defy the cameras, the deadly waters, the barbed wire, the violence and the compact political resistance, and make it across the external and internal borders of Europe every year. Europa Europa premieres on the 1st of July in Almedalen, Gotland, during the political week of the election year. Performances will be given on outdoor stages in various cities throughout Sweden up until the election in september, free of charge for all visitors. The cabaret Europa Europa is part of a movement that exists both within activism and academia, where individuals are trying to expose the human rights violations that are committed by Sweden and the EU every day. The song "För alla namn vi inte får använda" is a part of the cabaret and the lyrics will be handed out to the audience to sing along. In the music video you see the steps to the "political Macarena" dance choreographed by the dance- and choreographygroup Dom Dugliga. Learn the steps and dance along!"

Mix 8: Ommm

This mix of songs is about infinity and nothingness. Which to me, is interesting to contemplate the similarities of their nature, even though they are opposites by first definition. I wanted to create an atmosphere with a lot of space. The music starts more self reflective then builds as it absorbs the universal energy. The mix comes down to relaxing pace ending in a shavasana.

Download the mix below, hopefully you find something you like.

The Needle Drop Reviews "Shaking The Habitual"

The Knife: Shaking the Habitual - The Interview

The Knife: Shaking The Habitual (album stream)

The Knife: A Tooth For An Eye

"A Tooth For An Eye" deconstructs images of maleness, power and leadership. Who are the people we trust as our leaders and why? What do we have to learn from those we consider inferior? In a sport setting where one would traditionally consider a group of men as powerful and in charge, an unexpected leader emerges. A child enters and allows the men to let go of their hierarchies, machismo and fear of intimacy, as they follow her into a dance. Their lack of expertise and vulnerability shines through as they perform the choreography. Amateurs and skilled dancers alike express joy and a sense of freedom; There is no prestige in their performance. The child is powerful, tough and sweet all at once, roaring "I'm telling you stories, trust me". There is no shame in her girliness, rather she possesses knowledge that the men lost a long time ago."
