Danish Kasper comes from the heart of the thriving Copenhagen electronic scene.

After a decade as a busy producer and DJ, 33 year old Kasper Bjørke has released his music on labels like Plant Music, Fine, Thugfucker and V2 Records and in addition received a Danish Music Award as Best Producer for the well known project Filur, which he still runs with his old friend Tomas Barfod (Tartelet / Gomma / Get Physical).

Kasper‘s solo productions are now taking two directions. The analogue slow mutant disco angle is covered by Kasper Bjørke, while his techno and minimal/house releases are being unleashed as “Kasper Bjørke & His Friendly Ghost”, serving him the opportunity to appear in two different contexts – as diversity has always been the main focus which shines through his style both as a DJ, his productions – and his remixes.

This summer Kasper has released his first 12” EP in the Friendly Ghost outfit on the brand new We Love This label imprint, incl. remixes by Catz N‘ Dogz & Pol On. Kasper‘s remix roster is as long as it is wide spanding: from Trentemøller,  WhoMadeWho (Gomma), Visti & Meyland (Eskimo), The Ting Tings and Lulu Rouge to Familjen, FM Belfast and many more. Most recently he put his hands on Icelandic band MUM.

His first solo album „In Gumbo“, released on NYC based Plant Music in fall 2007, contains a melancholic voyage into cinematic sound scapes, while never losing the edge and nerve of the nightclub. The second single “Doesn’t Matter” was remixed by such renowned names as fellow danish friend Trentemøller, as well as The Juan Maclean (DFA). The feedback on the album was beyond positive upon its release and In Gumbo got a lot of attention from renowned magazines like BPM (US), Lodown (GER) and Vice (UK), the latter stating “Cinematic, immersive synth disco that sounds like a million dollars… could be this seasons House Of Jealous Lovers for the new italo youth…..”

Kasper has just finished working on his second album, and it is set for an early 2010 release on the new hfn music imprint. In the meantime, the first single “Young Again” featuring the danish indie singer Jacob Bellens, will be out in September including a stellar remix package by WhoMadeWho, Serge Santiago and Lopazz & Zarook. It is accompanied by a beautiful music video by Swiss multi artist Florence Tetiér – and followed by another single later this year.

Besides spending lots of time forcing his creative output in the studio he constantly travels the globe hitting some of the hottest spots on clubbing earth. Some of his personal highlights have been Cielo in NYC, Weekend in Berlin, Hive in Zurich and Iceland Airwaves Festival in Reykjavik so far.
