Swedish electro pop duo Datapop returns with second album
Datapop, a Swedish electro pop duo consisting of Anders Wilhelm and Mikael Larsson and bringing Kraftwerk like material, is back 4 years after their previous “Pop” album with their second album “Sterne” (Stars). In 2017 Datapop released their debut album “Pop” which became one of the most successful releases of Razgrom.
Musically “Sterne” continues and develops the ideas of the machine-vocoder-robo-electro sounds of its predecessor. Lyrically the new album is entirely dedicated to outer space and to all the difficulties of space travels. All tracks are sung in English, German and Swedish and next to 11 original tracks we also find remixes by Anymachine and fellow Plonk label-member Maschine Brennt.

Why we ask
Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.

Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil. Besides music I’m also an SEO and AI content flow specialist and have an interest in everything finance from stocks to crypto. There is music in everything!
