Long Live The 80s
April 27, 2009I Was Once Like You by Firefox AK Vs. Laid is a song I stumbled across purely by accident, but it is one of my best accidents yet. This has almost instantly become one of my most listened to tunes of the month and has even knocked off Imogen Heap’s Hide and Seek (Tiesto Mix) from my top ten (sorry Imogen, but you had a good run). I must admit it has got a “pop” feel to it and hardcore underground dance fans may find this a bit too commercial, but I think this is what appeals to me the most. Its not suppose to be taken too serious, its just a nice catchy song.
Firefox AK aka Andrea Kellerman of Sweden, originally started out in a London hip hop group known as Anamorphic before going solo under the name Firefox. It is noted on other various websites the AK part of her title only came into effect when Mozzila released the now popular firefox web broswer. In 2006 Andrea moved to Berlin to be closer to the growing electro scene and to start work on a second album which was released in Scandinavia in Feburary last year.
For this release she collaborated with Laid (who also go under the names of Zoo Brazil, Cuba Computers, Nars, Outcold and are often regarded as tech and house producers http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WkfFaiQkVc).
Once I was Like You is Andrea’s second single from her 2008 album and if this is anything to go by I’m genuinely excited to hear more from Andrea in the future.
