Junkyard Productions
Junkyard Production’s sound is a very original mix of crispy lo-fi dub, jazzy female
vocals and Jamaican style mc’ing.
Junkyard Productions debut-album “My Yard Is A Junkyard” was released in the
fall 2006, and the single “Grateful” has had massive airplay on Danish national
radio as well as French Radio Nova.
The “Junkyard Productions-sound” has already received international attention, as
Junkyard Productions has just remixed All Saints’ comeback-single “Rock Steady”,
and Rasmus has been co-writing with Shaznay Lewis from All Saints.
The band is based in Aarhus and Aalborg in the north of Denmark. They played
their first gig in February 2002, and have been playing live on a regular basis
since then.
Meanwhile Junkyard Productions have been perfecting their style and songwriting
in the studio. The main influence is ol’skool Jamaican dub as well as the modern
dub sound from Berlin. In October 2004 the track ”Sister Let Him Go” was
recorded for the Radio Recordings II compilation album, and in February 2005
they played at the Radio Recordings II release party live on Danish national radio.
“Sister Let Him Go” was released in October 2005 on Murena Records as a 12”.
The track had massive airplay on DR P3 (Danish national radio) and on French
Radio Nova, and has already been licensed for four compilations including Radio
Nova’s “Novatunes”. In the fall of 2005 Junkyard Productions joined the Varano
Music Tour and played several major Danish venues.
