Hailing from Gotenburg, Sweden, Mojib (Staffan Ulmert) delivers a package of meticulously crafted songs with a diverse array of musical sounds that combine beautiful pop melodies, with solid drum patterns and wandering flows. With beats reminiscent of Shadow’s best stuff, Mojib’s influences can clearly be heard in his work. Passionate stringed instruments, cathedral echoing pianos and acoustic guitars collide with dawdling break beats , murmuring electronics and fragmentary pitches of song tunes to create Mojib’s debut album ‘Whimsical Lifestyle’ released December 5th, 2007. Mojib have also released numerous remixes and is most known for his version of Radiohead's "Videotape" released only hours after "In Rainbows" hit the web. In 2009 he began work on remixing the back catalog of UNKLE. Due to label disputes the album was canceled. One track, May day Revisited with The Radio dept., was released as a one-off single in February 2010. He is currently working on his second solo album. |

”May day Revisited” is a free one-off single from Swedish music producer Mojib (Staffan Ulmert). The track reconstructs the song ”May day”, released in 2007 by UNKLE featuring The Duke Spirit. Using the vocals of Liela Moss the track is being mashed together with lo-fi indie act The Radio dept. Mojib then adds his own piano and acapella melodies. The result is a unique fusion of alternative indie, rock and electronica. ”Mayday Revisited” is being distributed for free and was originally planned to be followed up with Mojibs full length album project ”UNKLE Revisited”. The LP was to feature UNKLE songs being remixed, or revisited as the title suggests, by Mojib featuring collobrations with other artists. Due to label disbutes and sample clearance issues the project was canceled in 2009. "May Day Revisited" is one track that made it out alive. The song is being distributed by Bad Panda Records, a netlabel dedicated to free music. |
