Having not had an official release for some years, Hobby Industries is now back with a series of releases, with the first batch concentrating on new local Danish producers who inspires us with their take on electronic sounds in 2010. Hobby was never dead or sleeping … just taking time off to concentrate on other parts of life, but still listening and experiencing the world of sound constantly delivering new exciting music to enjoy and find inspiration in. Especially the ever expanding UK bass sounds and the more hip hop influenced wonky ideas has giving us a new outlook which should be audible in the new releases, all wearing the Oh Boy! banner. First up in the Oh Boy! series is new kid on the block, Aslope. Aslope is the alias for 24 years old design student, Torsten Lindsø Andersen. As a freshman in electronic music, the resumee of Torsten is not a long bragging one. A few local remixes and concerts and that´s it… but don’t be fooled by this.

Most of them seem to have build careers from this, starting own labels or found more established ones to help them find a bigger audience. Our feeling is it could also happen to Aslope in the nearest future if he continues like this. Watch out for forthcoming Ep´s by the likes of Nabo and Eloq, and ......
