Kirstine Stubbe Teglbjaerg

 Kalle B                 Dodebum




Kirstine Stubbe Teglbjaerg & Drapa Produktion.




Worked with Kirstine during her time in Blue Foundation and been part of the process in getting her setup ready for her first solo album and own label structure. Via her own label constrution Drapa Produktion we have released her first international single ”Tæppet er Faldet” (Curtain Fall) released 2nd april 2013 and her debut album ”Hamskifte” just released this week.
Her songwriting has a new approach this time, as its the first time Kristine will be releasing songs written purely in Danish. The 9 new songs featured on her debut solo album has all been written by herself and mainly produced by Kirstine as well. She been to London to mix with old friend Dyre Gormsen at Squat Sound in London, and the mastering is done at Abbey Road

More info check in on her website for HERE.



Dodebum

Parallel to her solo work we have also been working with the music from the Theater piece ”Music from Blackout!.” The first single ”Heartbeat” was unleashed 22 april and the whole ep will be out internationally on the 20th May. The ep is a collaboration with composer Dodebum and former Blue Foundation frontman MC Jabber. The music is very cinematic and is a soundtrack composed especially for the “Blackout!” theatre piece, which just has been running for sold out houses here in Copenhagen. Its electronic, pop and experimental and with delicate dramatic vocal pieces. In the mist of the dark atmosphere of the play its Kirstine's sensitive and sensual vocals that gives the melodies and light. Surely Blue Foundation fans will find this release refreshing hearing dark MC Jabber and Kirstine's lightfull voice singing together again.
