Lets have a big round of applause for triplet fever! The Third Room is back - not without a reason, of course: on the brink of the tenth anniversary of his uber-smasher HALE BOPP, Andreas Krüger steps up to send his classic’s timeless hookline on a wild journey into the past. SWING BOP is the name of the splendid result, bringing back memories only our grandparents could actually have. Berlin in the 1920s: a brief eruption of hedonism, manifesting in galloping creativity, a pulsating nightlife and cocaine being sold on almost every street corner, before the Great Depression and rising fascism put a sudden end to this burlesque bustle. The groove and glamour of past days have fascinated Krüger long before the birth of The Third Room. For lack of an orchestra, he trades his motorcycle for a Sequential Prophet 2002 Sampler in the mid-eighties, using this device to sample sounds from swing shellacs he inherited and taking first steps in that direction long before it became popular. At the beginning of the nineties, Krüger starts his project The Third Room, instantly achieving worldwide prestige within the world of techno. His dedication for the swing-typical triplet feeling steps aside for a while and only finds its way back into his musical world at the end of 2007. Inspired by a wild night full of YouTube videos of modern swing orchestras, he jauntily covers himself and resurrects his world hit HALE BOPP in a truly extravagant new outfit. Starting with a couple of test runs during his famous live acts, soon a few DJs get the chance to try out SWING BOP’s explosive qualities on ecstatic dancefloors. Countless requests and ecstatic feedback support Krüger’s decision to release this charming revenant. After engaging Berlin-based Andreas Ernst to bring in clarinet and saxophone and performing a friendly take-over of the hamburg-based electro imprint SAVE TO DISC it is now about to happen: The triplet fever is going to infect the dancefloors worldwide.
