About Me


Welcome to Club UltraFoxx , more info below.
(Website and banners designed by Expokon )
I'm a Swedish communications consultant, journalist, author and DJ. Let's start with my DJ:ing....
CLUB ULTRAFOXX is run by myself and DJ MissMantic. We play new wave, cold wave, minimal wave & synthpop, and always offer at least one exciting live concert!
CLUB SIDEWALKING is a new wave, postpunk, indie and electro club, Wednesdays at Snotty's, 21.00-01.00.
My next DJ sets: 17 Sep + 24 Sep.
Apart from DJ’ing, I'm a freelancing communications consultant focussed on operative/strategic project management and copywriting.
I’m also a music journalist at Zero Magazine , Sweden's biggest magazine for alternative music. Music is my passion. My current book project is an interview-based book about the new wave scene in the late 70s and early 80s. It will be in English, and a publishing house is yet to be decided...
My debut novel "Medan tiden står still" (While time stands still) was released in 2006 (read one review here ). My second (unreleased) book is a collaboration with a French photographer.
Some of my music articles can be read below, although the Metica articles and interviews can no longer be accessed since the site has finally been put to rest.
Artists I've interviewed are for ex. IAMX, John Foxx, Nitzer Ebb, Saint Etienne, Client (English translation on fansite), Vacuum (English translation on fansite), Sapporo 72, Dimbodius, Jenny Wilson, etc. Also read for example about The Human League & OneTwo at Berns 20 Dec 2007 (Swedish) and
Retrofest 2007 in Scotland (English).

Books:

Extract from my debut novel, translated by myself!
The beach stretched out its infinity ahead of us. Like an abandoned runway, the fine golden grains of sand blended with a cloudless September sky in the horizon. Do you remember how we walked there? Hand in hand, thought in thought. Without a word, but with an inevitable insight which seemed to formulate itself; seemed to rise from the warm sand between our toes and flow in at us from all those who had already left the beach and returned home. If we run all the way to the horizon, do you think we will take off? Do you think we will ever turn back home, or away; will we ever come home in just the same way? Or is the journey in itself a long lost episode. Is it now and forever after but a memory, have we already left the present behind us? And the music, you remember, don’t you? The music and the immediate fusion, only we two in the world. Nobody else who understood, but we did.
------------------------
The second we all feared finally came. Soundlessly, we glide into the future, without rudder. Breathlessly curious, without fear. Silent as the underground, high above the clouds, under the sun; we are no more. The second we all feared but didn’t except finally arrived. And now, we are no more. Now, we glide inexorably into the end of time, armed with wonder, breathlessly listening for the silence, and the very final words; I am the EMP of time.
