"Thanks to all involved. See you in another shape and form" Dan Lissvik wrote in 2012 when Swedish duo Studio officially called it quits. Now the influential group's founder is back with his album 'M I D N I G H T' on Smalltown Supersound. 
While Studio was never focused on making dance music, more recent beat-smiths such as Jamie XX (who sampled 'Out There' on his recent single, 'Girl') have introduced club-goers to the group's distinctive bass lines and 'Scandinavia meets West Coast' sound. Now, Lissvik has turned his own focus to the dance floor with these infectious new tracks.

Paul Simon has released ‘Stranger to Stranger’, his 13th solo album, on June 3rd via Concord Records. Full of thrilling, imaginative textures, ‘Stranger to Stranger’ conjures a vivid and vital new context to Simon’s well-established virtuosity as a singer and songwriter.  The record - his first since 2011’s acclaimed ‘So Beautiful or So What’ - ushers the listener into a brave new musical world where expectations are defied and exceeded, as they were thirty years ago with another masterwork ‘Graceland’.
