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.
