Basshunter Refresh Daily & Electro Queer Review



Refresh Daily;
"It looks like 2008's first proper Number 1 may come courtesy of Sweden. Basshunter, aka DJ and Cyber Geek Jonas Altberg, wrote this track in his bedroom, published it online where it took off in a big way, first conquering charts in Scandinavia, before moving on to Germany, Belgium and Holland. It is now likely to repeat the success here.

The track is a commercial trance track that just stays the right side of cheesiness, emulating parts of Scooter et al. Somewhere in here is a love song as well, apparently.

Upshot is this is a good commercial track that has to be better than Leon!! Out Now" Full review here

Electroqueer;
"So this little dance track called 'Now You're Gone' by Swedish DJ Jonas Altberg, aka Basshunter is poised to be the UK number one track this weekend as it's already number one in the mid-weeks. I have to say that I am not really a huge fan of one-off throwaway dance tracks like this, but this song is so disgustingly catchy and perfect that I can't stop myself from humming it. It's like the perfect blend of electro with 90's techno mixed in that that isn't over-the-top or annoying. I've been be-bopping around to it's remix package for a few weeks now and the 'Fonzarelli Remix' just happens to be my favourite.

So take a look at the vid-e-o here too - it's kinda cute. Basshunter apparently wrote the song about a girl he met on the internet, how very modern." Full review here
