Röyksopp – Hus Nr. 9

Royksopp have been dishing out new "old tunes" once a month for the past few or so. Most, if not all, are ones you may never hear on an official release, or they've been dub/demo versions of already released material. That said...today's track is Hurs Nr. 9.

 

 

That said...

 

BRING ON SENIOR!

Now, with a new mixtape, I Want You, set to be distributed, there's really only one way to celebrate his genius.
