December blog roundup

The month of Christmas at Innotune brought you acoustic sweets. Håkon showed us a guitar cover of Out Of The Blue, the trance classic by System F. Then seven more great acoustic covers popped up.

What has been typical 00ies when we look back at the last ten years of EDM? Our reader Anton Sonin answered: The gated clap! Do you agree? We would love your opinion on what has been most important for EDM the past decade. The mic is still open.

Thomas went back to the school bench, but with a new approach: DJ math. The numbers showed modern DJ’s are lazy. A funny view, be sure to check it out.

We’ve also featured nine electronic albums you should listen to. That is if you’re into longplayers. Anyway, have a listen to our picks and add your favourites of 2009.

Last but noe least, the December episode of our podcast was filled with Scandinavian trance and the regular blend of new music from many electronic genres. Our very own Ville Lope did the mix.

Thanks for following another month of Electronic Fjord Music! We have high hopes for 2010!
