DJ Night at Chill house

After the shortest DJ set in history (first band was late, second band was eager and I was in the middle) we relaxed and had a couple of white russians. We got a bunch of vinyls from the label. Holding your own music in vinyl form is one of the greatest feelings!
Had a great night and the cloud liveset was awsome!

One Week To Live Interview

Got a whole page in One Week to live. We are stoked! Have a read:

NEW single 15th October

Release: Safe Place
Format: 12"
Cat no: exec84

Track listing:

1. Original Mix

2. Toby Tobias dubbindelay Mix

3. Cloud Mix

Our first single from our new album is out on vinyl the 15th of October and exclusive Beatport digital download.

"subtle yet satisfying that demands repeated listens and leaving you craving for more. Sounding vintage and futuristic all at the same time, its warm Rhodes keys intro gives way for a spine tingling trumpet solo and Joanna Wahlsten’s smooth vocals, that confirm that we are indeed in a ‘Safe Place’. Its arrangement and production qualities recall the golden ‘Aja’ era of Steely Dan with touches of French pop, delivered in Plej’s own unique way.

Rekids’ Toby Tobias reworks ‘Safe Place’ into a dubbed-out cosmic disco trip and Exceptional’s very own and Hird’s younger brother, Cloud (aka Alex Berg) confirms that he’s a name to firmly keep our eyes on. Cloud has now delivered a mix that will devastate discerning dance-floors such as Berghain’s and Secretsundaze’s.

"Plej's cutesy easy listening grooves evident on the original mix are twisted up by Toby Tobias, who keeps the ambient groove going, and abruptly rotated by Cloud's beauty and the beast keyboard progressions" Phil Cheeseman (DJ Magazine / Strictly Rhythm)

NEXT DJ SET 17th October

Buy links for EMSL

If you been looking to buy our debut album:
Electronic Music From The Swedish Leftcoast these are the stores that have it:

Amazon UK | Amazon US | Juno Records

And if you like mp3s instead just get them here:

iTunes & Beatport

We just got these links from our label so we thought we might post them. I mean, EMSL is not the newest record in the world but thanks to all the nice people that talk and recommend us it seams to be ticking over still. I'm just happy that people like it!
Anyway, thanks for listening.

Blog it!

So, this is the new plej site.
I know its just a blog but that's the only way we will ever update it.
To be honest it is a pretty sweet setup. Just get a blogger or whatever, a flickr, a G-account and your set. Effortless!
Anyway, Since the new album is coming out soon and things are starting to roll we though it would be great to actually have a "sort of real" plej site.
