Last summer I did a rather subjective test of Windows 8 (beta version) vs OS X Mountain Lion for MacWorld. The request from IDG was to not delve too far in to any technical details and instead focus on the look and feel of the two operating systems. Now the test is online. It’s in swedish.

At my full time job for the last 3-4 months I’ve mostly been working on a new e-commerce site. A week ago it was finally launched, just in time for christmas. Say hello to www.shopathome.se
My part in this project, as Head of Design at Bonnier Homeenter was UI/UX Design and web architecture. My focus was to create a fresh, modern look and to make it very easy to understand and navigate without any clutter and unnecessary information.
Yup we finally signed the papers for our track Renegades – The more I learn. It will be released sometime in the near future by swedish label group PR Records. This is a good deal, PR Records is one of the major label groups for dance music in Sweden and they have a distribution deal with Warner Music.
I’ve been doing a lot of writing for the last couple of months. Right now I have articles in three printed Swedish magazines. There’s my MacWorld interview of 3D artist amd Cinema 4D expert Anders Kjellberg. A step by step guide to making Skrillex “talking” basses can be read in the current issue of Studio and finally I have two interviews about development for iOS in the new printed mag called iOS@Work.
In the next issue of MacWord I’ve written half of the cover story called “Make your Mac more personal”. It’s about pimping the inside and outside of your Mac.
Hovelmann – Paradise (Bjorn Fogelberg Remix) is now available for exclusive download on Beatport. Check it out!
A few months back I wrote a big article for Swedish Macworld and now it’s out. It’s about how to handle pictures on your Mac and also about iPhoto, Aperture, 500px, Flickr and Picasa. Check it out if you like Macworld. :)

This is the second single Hovelmann has released on 19BOX RECORDINGS. ‘Paradise’ is the follow-up to ‘In House We Trance’ and is a pumping piano anthem akin to early 1990s Italian house productions. Despite this, it’s not handbag house or rave-y. The whirling and driving timbres will surely have devas-tating effects on the dancefloor. Previous efforts from the Swede have seen releases on labels such as SYSTEM RECORDINGS and DUMB RECORDS.
Not content with just one Swedish mastermind, we have managed to call in another one of our favourite Scandinavians on remix duties. As a result of Hovelman having remixed Bjorn Fogelberg’s ‘Before + After’, Mr. Fogelberg has returned the favour by housing-up the original. Bjorn is a man of many talents – music producer, web designer, indie game developer and the former label owner of XAKK RECORDS – which released his own productions. He has released tracks on SYSTEM RECORDINGS , SICK WATONA and of course his very own XAKK RECORDS.
RELEASE DATE : 2012.08.13(beatport) , 2012.09.10
Somebody was kind enough to record and upload gameplay from my old game Cybergames. It was released as shareware on the Amiga in 1995.
I have uploaded a clip of the first piece of music to be created in the XAKK Studio in over a year and a half. My remix of “Paradise” by swedish DJ and producer Hovelmann will be released together with the original on 19Box Recordings later in 2012.
