"Bass-ic Instinct - No. 1 Stars internet orgy..
ONLY in the land of shaggers like SVEN GORAN ERIKSSON do pop stars have orgies in their mum and dad’s gaff.
BASSHUNTER – who is No1 with his annoying trance anthem Now You’re Gone – is living up to the Swedish national stereotype of being a bunch of dirty beggars. JONAS ALTBERG, the man behind Basshunter, has suffered the shame of his bedroom exploits with Dutch (no surprise there either) girlfriend Emely and a group of pals surfacing on t’internet.
And who found the pictures? His mum.
Good lord. But far from being embarrassed, the man who likes to make sweet music in the studio and the bedroom, has held his hands up with pride.
Speaking to top website Pop Justice, he confessed: “Those pictures were taken at my parents’ house and me, my girlfriend and friends had been partying and drinking." Read the full piece here

MSN - Single Review
"With a moniker like Basshunter you could be forgiven for thinking that this would be one of those heavy 'bassline house' tracks from the burgeoning UK scene.
How wrong you would be. Basshunter is a Swedish producer who lives with his mum in Malmoe and churns out Cascada-style pop-techno.
Now You're Gone sounds like a diluted David Guetta with an ultra cheesy backing track. However, it is catchy and has that naive charm that much Scandinavian dance music sung in English inadvertently conveys. The refrain will have many G-A-Y clubbers cheerfully singing along."

"Ooh, this is SO embarrassing...
Oh those rock stars. The man behind this week's brand new number one, Basshunter's Now You're Gone, has already surfaced in a sex video on the
internet. And Swedish star Jonas Altberg doesn't even seem to mind that HIS MUM found the video on the net! Jonas explained that the pictures were even
taken at his parents house after a bunch of his friends had a drunken night together. "We decided to take some pictures and have a sex orgy at my place," he explained. As you do. Although he didn't post the images himself, he says he is not at all embarrassed by the situation. "I can honestly say that I like sex. I like very much to use my body for what I was born to do." And his liberal mother simply contacted his management after seeing the shocking pictures to check that they wouldn't cause him any problems. *Gets funny feeling in tummy about thought of mum seeing self at it. Shudders*"
