On the 3rd of September the Swedish singer, songwriter and Megaerfolgsproduzent with the first single extraction "Saturday" from his coming fourth work reports back after his completely sold off US tour fresh he and from reason on outdated on all dance floors of this world! Matured, well getuned, better than ever!
successful statistics of the 26-year-old superstar develops more than impressively: Hardly somebody who himself could not join in the singing after four years his most successful hit „messengers Anna“ any more kept the prime example of a real club killer, nevertheless, no less than more than 20 weeks in the German top 20, reached 10-fold Platinum in his Swedish native country and was available into whole ten different languages!
The 2009th album „bass of generation“ could crack the top 20 in five countries; the 2008th predecessor "Now You" Re Gone - The album“ reached the popular No. 1 in UK (platinum) and New Zealand (platinum!) as well as place 6 in the Billboard European top 100 albums with over 350,000 sold albums up to now in Europe.
All together BASSHUNTER could register alias Jonas Altberg up to now beside countless platinum success in Germany, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Great Britain, Austria, Finland, the Netherlands, New Zealand and Poland among other things triumphant double No. 1 order for album and single in the UK as well as more than 200 millions Views with YouTube and not least the predicate „Third fruit juice Watched video Of all time“ (from YouTube UK for more than 85 millions Views for the video clip to "Now You" Re Gone“) for itself.
However, this was only the beginning as the new single "Saturday" with ambiguous blink promises - glossy, sexily Disco-Stomper with serially built-in Instant-Party-und-Arme-hochreiss-Garantie which unites on the one hand really all typical Trademarks which a potential dance floor brush BASSHUNTER simply brings from good house with himself and which loves his fan base so madly in him:„ Saturday“ is the perfectly counterbalanced balance from funky Grooving and a catchy refrain to which one cohums not only on Saturday evening before the Ausgehfeinmachspiegel. On the other hand, BASSHUNTER has gone audible with the time and could create by the fertile cooperation with the Producern Cutfather & Troelsen (among other things Christina Aguilera, Pixie Lott, Monrose) an absolutely new sound, in the international club and Techno scene of his resemble looks! Overheated and chilly, always on the hunt for the perfect Hookline and the Flow of the summer. Like ice in the sunshine: I like to move it move it, I like to Th it Th it!
High-carat not only the track itself develops by far, also for the visual conversion of "Saturday" BASSHUNTER has conjured thus something in big name from his DJ's suitcase: Thus one could oblige for Los Angeles rotated clip nobody less than director Alex Herron (among other things responsibly for the last Taio Cruz and Maria Mena videos), Cam icon Ketil Dietrichson (lady Gaga...) and not least Madonna's choreographer Mihran Kirakosian!
Let the summer begin! Let `see move it! Move it!
