[By our Norwegian correspondent ]

, the electronic project by , just released their 5th album ‘Skylines’. It’s described as “a soundtrack to a journey from city to city”, most cities visited by Jon, many for going to concerts – like in Oslo and Kraftwerk in Amsterdam, but also for studing architecture.

Jon: I love architecture. When I did my Structural album I started researching unusual structures, then for this album I got to thinking how a city’s skyline defines its character. Old and new, different styles alongside each other.

The tracks are named after both cities visited and cities to be visited in the future, and with their layered beats, melodic synths and a vast array of vocoder effects, it’s a good alternative for Kraftwerk fans out there wanting to discover new music in the genre.

Jonteknik has previously worked with Paul Humphreys (of ) and Claudia Brucken (/Act) on their ‘‘ project as well as working on his own projects, including doing remixes for on the label and (featuring Wolfgang Flur) in the recent years.

Sometimes - when I'm not cooking, biking, listening to music or attending concerts, I write stuff for Side-Line.com. Mostly about Norwegian bands, but it's been some Swedish, English, American, Danish, German and others too... ;)

Since you’re here …

… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.

Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.

If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
