ELEKTROFANT is Klaus Skrudland and Knut Jonas 5000. The duo's debut album "W..rk!" came out in 2004 to great reviews from Norwegian and international press, and brought Klaus and Knut Jonas 5000 around Norway and Europe with their frenetic liveshows. Elektrofant then took a break to concentrate on new material, and a new sound soon emerged. Having gone back to the roots of techno, the new album bursts of arpeggio power and heavy, banging 909s. The new album is called "1992", and started off as a hommage to the house and techno of the early 90s. They make the kind of songs that is full of everything you'd ever want from dance music. Electric yet organic, soulful yet danceable.
KING KNUT aka Knut Jonas 5000 is the latest addition to the Exploded View family. A self taught producer/musician/DJ, Knut has been doing it all: from country music to electro, hip hop to garage rock. He is currently doing mad electro beats as one half of Elektrofant, making fun pop as a member of Miss Davina Lee as well as producing various other acts like R'n'B singer Fethawit and singer/songwriter Nina Nielsen. On Exploded View, however, King Knut comes with a frsh new sound, mixing frantic hip hop beats with analogue synthesizers and a dash of old skool electro!
K.S.F. are Count Speedkill & Count Killface. They produced freestyle music from 1991-1998. Many of the lost tapes have recenly been found after being lost for over a decade. Work is in progress to remaster these tracks and feed them to the public. For more info check KillSuckFuck
