Sweden is one long country. Driving from Malmö to the Northerst tip takes at least 24 hours and is about the same distance as to Madrid if you head south instead.
On august 18th – 21th a bunch of very creative people including myself organized what might be the first ever festival North of the Polar Circle. At least in Europe. To be more precise, we headed for the last utouched mountain outbacks of Northern Europe – about 120 km north of the city of Arjeplog.
The last 10km had to be covered by foot, climbing over a mountain pass, surrounded by giant bolders, shrubbery and rouge reindeers. A soundsystem as well as a coffeeshop was flewn in by a helicopter. We made a few mistakes but all in all created one very lovely and exotic mini-festival. From a DJ point, the most important thing was to be first to introduce house music (or any kind of music at all) to the majestic mountains of Laplandia.. After all no one has ever done it before us, ever.
