Coming from the west coast city of Bergen, Bjørn is one of the originators of electronic music in Norway and has been making music since the early Nineties.

This Saturday sees David Vunk returning for the Nerd Network night. Last time the energetic, Rotterdam-based DJ guested in the booth at Nolla was in November 2009.

After having a blast with Todd Terje last month, it's time to bring in one of the originators from Oslo's lively disco scene. Rune Lindbæk has gained reputation for his feel-good DJ sets as well as his work in the studio, both solo and with such people as Idjut Boys and Lindstrøm. A fan of fish, dub and real ale (in no particular order), Rune joined us for a quick interview before his return to Helsinki this Saturday.

Kim Ann Foxman became known as a vocalist in Hercules and Love Affair, but lately she has been concentrating on doing music and remixes under her own name. As proved at Turku Modern last summer, she is also a brilliant DJ – and a rather fitting guest for this year's Turku Modern Winter Conference. While waiting for next week, we reached Kim on her European tour.
