Stor, Linda Pira, The Salazar Brothers. The 15th of February we they to see you getting your groove on at Mejeriet. Svartklubben‘s Mathilde Bojén will be the first act. She thinks you should go there for the attitude, respect and the lack of house music.
Have you also missed the kind of hip hop at the final stage of pregnancy? When Linda Pira had her breakthrough she was pregnant with triplets and was followed by SVT‘s (Swedish Television) cameras in their television series called Linda Pira who you didn’t know about (Linda Pira som du inte visste om)
Her breakthrough came when she performed with Stor, who in 2013 released his third album Shere Khan XIII, in the song Rom & Kush. In February they are coming to Lund together with the Salazar Brothers, the producers originating from The Latin Kings, and are according to Mejeriet, together with four eager DJs “swedish hip hop’s history, present and future”.
As a presumed representative for the latter Mathilde Bojén kicks off the evening by playing records. The plan is to play hip hop, RnB and maybe a little bit of funk.
“I love the classics but I will also mix it with some guilty pleasure songs like Kelis’s Milkshake”, she says.
When not DJing, Mathilde Bojén studies music production at Lund University and has just finished two semesters. She is also supervisor for Svartklubben at Sydskånska. Her plans for the future is to work with music in general and in particularly with hip hop.
Why hip hop?
“I find it very entrancing. The core of hip hop is to show respect for each other. You can express so many ideas and opinions through hip hop, there can be a lot of status in expensive cars and bling-bling, but the attitude and respect is something that I really like. When somebody drops a beat your body gets heavy and you start dancing”, she says.
Mathilde Bojén looks forward to playing her records but also to seeing the artists.
“It’s always fun to see artists who are genuine in what they are doing and who are down to earth. It’s apparent that these people are having fun on stage and because they are genuine the performance is good” she says.
But why should one head to your club instead of going to the same old place?
“It’s boring when it’s always safe. Mainstream-house could be fun maybe once a month, hip hop is always fun.
