  • Olsen Records will kick off the Dansbar series with a reissue of Beranek's Dra Te Hælvete on May 6th. Though he's ascended to global festival dominance after 2014's It's Album Time, Todd Terje built his underground reputation as a digger, DJ and edit man. He's back to that mode on the first release in the Dansbar series, where he and Prins Thomas take a crack at Beranek's "Dra Te Hælvete." Espen Beranek Holm is a Norwegian musician and comedian, and the original song was originally released on 7-inch via Mind Expanding Records in 1981. It was subsequently banned due to profanity by the Norwegian national TV and radio station NRK, the outlet where Holm would go on to work as a long-running radio host on the satirical Hallo I Uken program. Juno Plus reports that the oddball cut has long been a favorite of more adventurous Scandinavian DJs.
