Time for a world premiere! After four years of Trailerpark Festival, we (ArtRebels) decided that it was time for some proper documentation. Therefore we make not only a book with some of the best photos from TP 2010 (se some of them here), but also a documentary movie capturing the whole process of making a [...]

TP Allstars – Starry-eyed Surprise My oh my. What a way to close the outdoor scene of this years Festival. Trailerpark had intrigued everyone by announcing a secret all-star team to host the final send-off of the outdoor stage. The team was, together with succeeding indoor stage closing act Vinnie Who, charged with delivering one [...]

Lazy Sunday Afternoon Funky soul on a lazy, hung-over late Sunday afternoon – does it get any better? On the third day of trailerpartying the wear and tear of the two days gone by was beginning to show. Trailerpark was at this point not yet filled, and the crowd mixture of three day bangers looking [...]

ML: You have a background in indierockbands such as Decorate Decorate and Death By Kite and also as a producer for different bands in a whole different genre than your current solo project. Can you tell the readers a little about your journey from the indierock to the minimalistic electronica? SVAR: I was on my [...]

There were no surprises when Peter Visti Sunday again delivered one of his notorious sets. Peter has been playing for about two decades, and with a row of cool releases behind him he never seems to disappoint. He pleasantly mixed deep and tech house with a touch of disco, respectably creating a perfect warm-up set [...]

You may have seen Mikkas & Lars B aka. Djuma Soundsystem playing fast tech house in for young club kids in venues like Rust, if your lucky enough that is, cause the two guys are primarily out of town playing clubs across the world. Their productions spread from deep to progressive house, so depending on [...]

Soeren Bodner aka, Monkey Maffia was until new year 2010 one half of the notorious vodka consuming dj duo Wighnomy Brothers which for 17 years supplied the dancers of the world with their unique paramount sound. Today Soeren stands alone, and the question is if he can deliver same greatness as they supposedly did together. [...]

Das Krause Duo had a rough start at their dj set Saturday night. Technical difficulties resulted in a extended break before they could start, and by the time the sound engineer had prepared everything for them, the large hall that 30 min earlier had been full was now empty. Despite the ordeal Das Krause Duo [...]

Toro Y Moi is arguably one of the biggest names booked for Trailerpark this year, with South Carolina frontman Chaz Bundick having made huge waves all over the blogosphere. Hailed as everything from the chieftain of Chillwave to the emperor of lofi electronica, Toro Y Moi´s music however, is hard to pin down as it ambles gently [...]

In a constant turn between the utter most melodic notes and pure hardpumping bass, at this year´s Trailerpark Festival, Eim Ick settled as one of Denmarks most emerging interesting electronical talents. Eim Ick turned the evening into night, kicking people of from the wooden plateaus in the courtyard, who were catching the last rays of [...]

Torben Denver and his band is from south of Germany a town called ’Kuchen’ – which means cake – and I got to wonder, if the band would deliver a concert just as sweet as the name of their hometown. They did. Their first concert ever. The laidback folk was well represented, and the quintet’s [...]

Mikkel has a background in indie (Lily Electric, Death By Kite, Decorate Decorate) before casting his considerable talent towards electronic music. Something that immediately shows as he launched into a set that ranged from straight up four-to-the-floor tech-house to huge melodic soundscapes, often touching upon the kind of melancholy that I would usually connect with the darker [...]

It’s Sunday afternoon at Trailerpark, which means that the only people who have much energy left are the ones who got tucked into bed by 8:30 last night.  While the adults laze about, enjoying a relaxing afternoon and saving themselves for one last pull when dusk falls, the children are providing the energy.  And what better place [...]

One of the headlining acts, the highly acknowledged DJ Hell, took over the dancefloor on the Hummel stage around 2 o’clock.  Throughout the last two decades he has been pioneering dancefloors and earning respect as not only a highly profiled dj but also as being a producer and being the man behind International DeeJay Gigolo [...]

I am not even going to pretend that I can remember half of 2000F and JG´s epic EPIC set yesterday. What did stick in my alcohol-addled mind was the sheer face-melting awesomeness of those bad-ass wobbly bass lines with JG´s grimy toasting blaring over them, bigging up a Trailerpark crowd that, arms in the air, [...]

The Israeli/danish dj-duo Sousa/Schmidt went mostly for the younger part of the crowd with their love towards the clubbing culture. They coloured the Hummel stage putting forward a style of sexy and groovy house beats mixed with techno probably partly using their experience from setting up parties around Copenhagen. David Sousa and Mads Schmidt are [...]

Thee Attacks Its really quite simple. Put a foursome on stage equipped with a classic rock’n roll setup and strong resemblances to the likes of 60s stars as the Kinks, The Who and The Rolling Stones then you got a great start. But then add the high voltage kick ass aint-satisfied-till-you-dance mentality that Thee Attacks [...]

At ArtRebels, we shy away from the word “trend,” as it lacks individuality and is far too fickle.  That said, we couldn’t help but notice that hummel seemed to be rocking Trailerpark the last two nights. Or better said, those sporting hummel seemed to rocking Trailerpark the last two nights.  We even spotted a few pieces from [...]

Heay seriously, how awesome is Jessie Evans? There has been a slow hype building around her amongst the Trailerpark crew since monday – everybody putting her at the top of their must-see list with that knowing nod and sly smile that usually means “this is going to melt your brain”. And right from the start, [...]

Sunday. Last day of TRAILERPARK 2010. & If anything is true, it is that the people who visit TRAILERPARK are nice. & not only are they soooo nice – they are also way too good looking. I spent most of my early evening yesterday recovering from my severe hangover & that allowed me to dedicate [...]

The German Trio Rework took to the stage Saturday evening before 12. With them came a promise. To fire up the crowd with their sinister grooved out electro universe. And oh yes they got the crowd fired up! What began as an inspiring excursion into Rework territory, slowly erupted into what can best be described [...]

Here are a few random stills from Saturday… I’ve been too busy to really capture the backstage-vibe in some good photos but I can tell you that things went amazing yesterday. We had learned from our mistakes Friday (No girls sneaking in the window!) and most of the artists (if not all) were extreamly happy [...]

Remember the words I am saying to you now. So he sang, and so we do. Chllngr, aka. Steve Borth, delivered bass and rhythms to be remembered. Both ears and eyes were challenged by the multiinstrumentalist and his mix of genres from dubstep to reggae performed on a Mac, a mixer and a magic baryton [...]

Rosa Lux has been around the block for quite some time now. She began her career as a DJ in 2002 and has since then marked her as one of few long lasting names in the Copenhagen electronic underground. Rosa Lux is educated in classical music but released her first single Ven Igen on Nightology [...]

Yesterday it all came together. & boy oh boy, did it come together! TRAILERPARK FESTIVAL 2010 opened & all the hard work put into building the festival this week, was rewarded with a completely & entirely FULL HOUSE of shiny, happy people. The skatepark was transformed into a creative, colorful playground full of musical adventures [...]

So we pretty much survived last nights blast of an evening. & today the sun has been shining lovingly down on the Trailerpark Festival warming our hungover rebel hearts & heads for some more fabulous trailerparkloving tonight. People have been coming in early today & even before the sun went to bed, the yard was [...]

You do believe in a hype when the likes of Crystal Fighers, Florence & The Machine, Health and The xx are involved. Renaissance Man has been highly sought after remixers after they released one of this year’s greatest hits What is Guru on an EP from the Parisian label Sound Pellegrino. In addition they released [...]

It is weird that a duo can be categorized as upcoming when they’ve already released four 12″. Nevertheless, that is the case with Pattern Repeat. But having already played clubs like Berghain in Berlin and Fabric in London, the two danish guys have been given the seal of approval and are now more than ready [...]

The two gentleladies Eif and Fedtysent are well known for different dj-acts in the Copenhagen nightlife. They have now combined their talent as skilled party makers and formed Black Kitty. Friday night they did what they do best at Trailerpark Festival – play. Though most of the Trailerpark crowd had gathered inside to take in [...]

A cool breeze did hit the festival spot, just before House of Moves entered the outdoor stage saturday. But the daring duo didn’t need any weather-Gods to warm up the hangovered crowd. With a heavy beatboost breaking sounds all from indian chillout to crispy oldschool, House of Moves started a perfectly groovy engine of yet [...]

Saturday June 31  at 1pm Hello world! Here’s a quick backstage report from this year’s Trailerpark Festival! Trailerpark Festival officially began last night at 6pm but long before the audience were let in on the festival grounds, the first artists arrived and more kept checking in all day, which ment we had our hands full [...]

I got the very nice and privileged chance to ask the creator and the man behind Vinnie Who, Niels Bagge, some questions. I hope you all get something out of it. I know I did. How did you start Vinnie Who? I started VW as a side job to 2 other bands, I played in [...]

What songs had the largest influence on the music you make and play? Not an easy question to answer. Especially not when you´re a dj, who through your more then ten-year long career has played thousands of tracks and listened to quite a bit more. Despite the challenge, I took the freedom of asking exactly [...]

Third day of building… uuuhhh can you feel it… //mads Photo by Nicolai Levin

Djuna Barnes did for us, exclusively on the occasion of Trailerpark festival 2010. Listen to – and download – the mix at Soundcloud. 24 trailerpark artists – selected [...]

We had a little chat with Abdellah and Lars who are second time volunteers at Trailerpark Festival. Right now the SkatePark in Vesterbro, Copenhagen is chaotic for the untrained eye. People are working from 9 a.m. to 23 p.m. to build up the park for the atmosphere TRAILERPARK FESTIVAL has come to be known for. [...]

Suzi Horn and Toby Prinz constitute this lo-fi music and arts duo. From a disused church in the UK, Prinzhorn Danceschool creates sounds that draw references to the no wave scene of early eighties New York. This (selfevidently…) turned on well acclaimed label DFA (LCD Soundsystem, Hercules & Love Affair etc.), and the release of [...]

Jessie Evans is different. Her esthetics makes you suspect that she’s the daughter of some crazy Mexican mariachi, who fell in love with a cabaret singer in 1920es Berlin. They were standing in the crowd at a Josephine Baker show as their eyes suddenly met, and Jessie was the offspring of this constellation… Jessie’s musical [...]

American born Chllngr is a focused narrative of futuristic sounds and bass heavy rhythms orchestrated and composed by Steve Borth, a multi-instrumentalist, producer and performer.

British trio We Have Band is one of this year’s “jokers” at Trailerpark. Drawing from a well of influences that include ESG, Animal Collective and The Rapture, the band created their own sound – a 21st century mixtape that defines categorisation or pigeonholing. Early singles, like the vibrating punk funk monster Oh!, the fuzzy, descending [...]

Renaissance Man have created a storm for themselves. The last two years the renaissance men Downtown and Jaxxon have rocked prestigious venues (Fabric, Panorama Bar etc.) all over Europe. Debut Spraycan was released on Switch’s Dubsided in early 2009, followed by Rhythm on the Kitsuné Maison 7 compilation. A subsequent EP on Parisian label Sound [...]

Add a bit of J Dilla, Flying Lotus and Neon Indian and a whole lot of originality and you have Toro Y Moi. He released [...]

Rework is dark, minimal groove spiced up with French and English lyrics about the ram-blings of that crazy little thing called love – lots of charm, Jane Birkin-type moods, a new-wave feel and euro-girl vocals takes us into sublime pop territory in the darkest, deepest, minimal way. They were founded in 2000 by Daniel Varga [...]
