"25-year-old Norwegian House/Trip Hop/Techno Producer Ole Roar Granli (aka ORG Lounge) is Dalminjo. A clever lad indeed... making music to move you for nearly a decade, ONE DAY YOU'LL DANCE FOR ME TOKYO! is his 2nd release on the cool, Miami-based Kriztal Entertainment label. (You may recall Dalminjo's debut, the critically acclaimed FJORD FUSIONEER.) This attention-getting new project genre jumps from Jazz to Chillout to House to Broken Beat to Latin, Disco and Pop. It's a melting pot of pure satisfaction for those who like to move. Ole borrows label mate and Flunk lead vocalist Anja Oyen Vister for two tracks here: "Wouldn't Want To Go Without You," and the cover of the Smith's "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out." In addition, the project prominently features several other vocalists including the singer from Sweden's Physics, Alexandra Hamnede, on "Everytime You Go," and "Come Here;" from Slowpho, Hilde Drange on "It's All I Am;" plus two fresh new voices, Aneh and from Japan, Piya. The album features 13 tracks in all, which includes a few remixes of the Smith's tune and a 'Latin Soul Mix' of the very vivacious "This Time." ONE DAY YOU'LL DANCE FOR ME TOKYO! is pure, unadulterated fun. iPod this one for the gym and then blare it this weekend at your party... Tokyo's gonna dance sooner than later when they get their hands on the new Dalminjo! ~SANDY SHORE"
