Now!

We finally have moment to post a picture of our room here at the High End Show in Stockholm.

The room

A lot of people has said it’s the best sound of the show. Even though we haven’t had the time to compare, we are prepared to believe them, the sound is amazing!

We are also playing our brand new release on Marten Recordings: Supreme Sessions 2.

Supreme Sessions 2

A great mixture of different artists and genres, Latin, Jazz, Virtuoso Percussion and Classical.

We’re here for a few more hours so come in and have a listen!

High End Munich 2015 – The Room

We were lucky to get some shots of the room yesterday before we opened otherwise it’d have been impossible. There has been a constant crowd hindering the view 🙂 Leif is playing a crazy mix of tunes, everything from Rock with Jimi Hendrix , Jazz with Hiromi and Beethoven with Lang Lang to Electronica with James Blake and Blues with Junior Wells. It all sounds great!

The system

Here is the main system – Four MSB M203 Mono blocks between the pair of Coltrane 3

High End in Stockholm

We had a great time with our guests in Stockholm a couple of weeks ago. Rui Borges and Vicky Rosario were there from Portugal as well as Marc Gomez who lives in Gothenburg but originates from Barcelona. Frank Vermeylen from Belgium and of course Michael Fremer from the US were there too so we were a very international bunch, as it normally is on these shows.
