Bio: 27-year-old Norwegian producer Joachim Dyrdahl aka diskJokke was discovered by Prins Thomas and kicked off his career releasing singles on Thomas’ label Full Pupp. After ...

Coasting on the Balearic disco wave created by fellow countrymen Lindstrom & Prins Thomas, Rosenrod arrives awash with hypnotic, cascading cosmic beats and alluringly bouncy bass. Layers of silky, ambient melody is influenced in equal parts by Italo disco and Blue Monday.
