So, in exactly one month, Diipak & company will take – no, rock – the stage at the prestigious Etablissemanget Mosebacke on Stockholm’s answer to the Big Apple’s Brooklyn: Södermalm. DJ Sandra “Choco Chanel” Bergman will kick things off with some tunes at 9 pm, then Maria Carlman AND reggae band Awaj Collective will both …

After much a healthy amount of problem-solving, the video by Felix Hill is finally up and ready to view on youtube! Here it is: Other exciting news are the upcoming release of Dogma, a full-length album of “standard Diipak” tunes you are likely to hear at a live show. : ) The release will be …
