Tromso, Norway. Its really a small city (only about 60.000 people here)
but it seems alot bigger than youd think (as in: it more or less have
everything you need in a city).
It was once called "the european Detroit" because of all the
techno/ambient/house/etc artist doing pretty well on the underground
scene troughout the world (mostly in the UK and Holland tho). Some of
the artists living (or having lived here) are Biosphere, Bel Cantro (i
was told they really blew up in France and Japan...?), Electrip C,
Ismistik, Mental Overdrive, Aedena Cycle, Volcano, Those Norwegians/Drum
Island/Alania + lots more.

As for clubs..not much have happened the last few years. We used to have
quite alot of House clubs, but right now the only decent thing going on
is a funk/soul/raregroove club each friday. Me and a few others have
plans about doing something in the not so distant future tho...
hopefully we'll be able to pull something off.

Magazines? well... as of now there are none that are worth mentioning,
but this coming friday we are releasing the first issue of a free paper
called "Flimmer". It will be a monthly release covering stuff that
happends here (art, movies, concerts, clubs etc.), quite alot of
interviews (mostly local "celebreties") and alot of music. (i have a two
page hiphop/drum n bass column + i do reviews). Hopefully we wont end up
bancrupt just yet.

shit..i gotta run. well..there isnt much more to say anyways.. so bye
